UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

A winner on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton last time out, HIPPOCRATIC OATH seemed to be value for more than the winning margin on that occasion and this appeals as another strong opportunity with Sean Levey taking over in the saddle. Narrowly denied when producing a career-best effort at Musselburgh last month, Sybaris Jewel looks to be the main danger, ahead of Jack Andrea and the unexposed Pay Attention.
Prediction : 1st Hippocratic Oath 2nd Sybaris Jewel 3rd Jack Andrea

JUST TEN HIGH continues to go from strength to strength, and a 5lb rise for his most recent success here over 7f may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick on the rise in distance. Runner-up on his last two starts over further, Inspiring Speeches is likely to be thereabouts again, while Meade Gold and the relatively unexposed Lzaz are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Just Ten High 2nd Inspiring Speeches 3rd Lzaz

The Edward Bethell stable can do little wrong at present and his LERWICK could be primed to strike on his all-weather debut, having scored comfortably at Beverley before being a bit unlucky when short of room at Pontefract last time out. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of promising Kempton third Bluelight Bay and Lyndon B, who has given the impression recently that he will be suited by going back up to 1m.
Prediction : 1st Lerwick 2nd Bluelight Bay 3rd Lyndon B

ZIPSTER can make amends for a narrow defeat when second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton three weeks ago by taking this competitive contest, despite a 2lb rise. The recent Pontefract winner Urban Sprawl could prove to be the main threat, although Shimmering Sands and City Of York also have the ability to give the selection plenty to think about.
Prediction : 1st Zipster 2nd Urban Sprawl 3rd Shimmering Sands

Despite being beaten, END OF ROMANCE confirmed his debut promise when finishing third under a penalty over 7f at Chester in August and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. Kaizen is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Ylang Ylang and the 425,000gns purchase has to be of interest on his racecourse bow. Others to note are Via Con Me and Tremolo.
Prediction : 1st End Of Romance 2nd Kaizen 3rd Via Con Me

EARTHY got off the mark in a similar contest at Chelmsford a few weeks ago and Amy Murphy's progressive filly could be hard to stop following a 4lb rise. Woodhay Whisper was not disgraced over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and could go well now up in trip off 3lb lower. The shortlist is completed by Addarella, Final Angel and Lucius Aurelius.
Prediction : 1st Earthy 2nd Woodhay Whisper 3rd Addarella

EVOLUIR had Calafrio (fifth) and Irish Dancer (10th) behind when touched off by a length into second at Thirsk last month and he competes off the same mark here. Provided the three-year-old can produce a repeat of that display, he could prove hard to beat. Savalas was successful at this level on his penultimate start and it would be no surprise to see him get into contention, while Back Tomorrow is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Evoluir 2nd Savalas 3rd Back Tomorrow

Eagle Angel improved on his debut effort to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton when last seen just under a year ago and he should mount a bold bid on his return to the fray. However, he might find it tough to successfully concede 10lb to EAVESTONE. Roger Varian's filly shaped as though this step up in trip would suit when staying on for third over 1m2f at Goodwood last time and she looks the one to beat. Ventorro isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Eavestone 2nd Eagle Angel 3rd Ventorro

GOLD AURA was beaten two lengths into second when having her first attempt over this trip at Wolverhampton last month and the handicapper might have been kind to leave her mark alone for that performance. Jack Jones' four-year-old looks well placed to get her head in front for the first time this evening. Dark Mystery found one too over track and trip earlier in the month and he should remain competitive off an unchanged rating, while Old Saxony could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Gold Aura 2nd Dark Mystery 3rd Old Saxony
