UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Now that the penny has dropped for JUST TEN HIGH after a taking success on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month, Dylan Cunha's charge could go from strength to strength, with a 3lb rise looking a touch lenient. Narrowly denied over 6f here on his penultimate outing, Glory Call is a key player, along with Oriental Spirit, who ran with some credit at Kempton last week.
Prediction : 1st Just Ten High 2nd Glory Call 3rd Oriental Spirit

MANDANA took well to the all-weather when second on her most recent start at Chelmsford and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. A disappointment when favourite over 1m at Haydock last time out, Shining River is better judged on her penultimate effort when narrowly behind the selection at Haydock in August. Hock Eye The Noo and Miss Hathaway are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Mandana 2nd Shining River 3rd Hock Eye The Noo

Hampered inside the final furlong when a promising third at Lingfield on debut, RHYME DUST is likely to come on plenty for that experience and she looks capable of breaking the maiden with Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle. Cosi Bear didn't show much first time out at Leicester but better can be expected here, while the same could be said of Stylish Affair, who got going late in the piece when seventh at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Rhyme Dust 2nd Stylish Affair 3rd Cosi Bear

Alfa Whiteburd and Eldeyaar, along with the much-improved Lion Ring, are strong contenders despite creeping up in the ratings for their most recent successes. Whereas, Oso Rapido enters calculations from 16lb below his last win. However, it is BELLAGIO MAN who captures the imagination most. A C&D winner off 15lb higher in February 2023, the selection is hard to ignore in a wide-open race.
Prediction : 1st Bellagio Man 2nd Alfa Whiteburd 3rd Eldeyaar

Just a head separated TRIDENT (second) and Jodhpur Blue (third) at Newcastle last month. The former wasn't done any favours by the draw on that occasion and, open to more progression on just his second start, he can cement his authority. The rest with experience appear a modest bunch and with that in mind, Kisdon Force, a 60,000gns purchase as a yearling, strikes as the most compelling of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Trident 2nd Jodhpur Blue 3rd Kisdon Force

The recent Newcastle winner Mon Etoile is a player, but it's also worth remembering that it took her 16 attempts to get off the mark. Therefore, dual C&D winner THE PUG is preferred from 4lb below the most recent of those successes. Having hinted at a revival of late, the selection has less to prove than most. Kalikapour and lightly-weighted three-year-old Lady Of Time complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Pug 2nd Mon Etoile 3rd Kalikapour

LETMEBETHEBOSS appeared to relish the step up in trip when fairly bolting up over 1m5f at Bath last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he looks the one to side with. Blenheim Lad did it well when scoring over C&D last month and he must enter calculations off 3lb higher, while better can be expected from Mimasusa now she sports blinkers for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Letmebetheboss 2nd Blenheim Lad 3rd Mimasusa

GALACTIC CHARM caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third over this trip at Yarmouth last month and that form has since been franked by the runner-up. Off an unchanged mark, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. The class-dropping Cool Party was in winning form over C&D on his penultimate start and is the main danger. Knights Affair wasn't disgraced in a competitive handicap at Musselburgh latest and needs to be taken seriously too.
Prediction : 1st Galactic Charm 2nd Cool Party 3rd Knights Affair

Paddy's Day was narrowly denied over 5f at Beverley last month and a 1lb rise for that shouldn't prevent another bold bid. That said, JUNGLE RUN is narrowly preferred. Tom Clover's charge completed a hat-trick in fine style over C&D recently and gets the nod to defy a 7lb rise. Maris Angel was thwarted in her bid for a three-timer at Redcar latest, but cannot be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Run 2nd Paddys Day 3rd Maris Angel
