UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

SCARBOROUGHWARNING, on target in a novice event at Catterick last month, followed up in emphatic fashion at Wolverhampton on Friday. The unexposed daughter of Harry Angel appears certain to have more in the locker and she can defy the 6lb penalty to complete her hat-trick. Secret Road was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark over C&D recently and still looks competitively treated nudged up 4lb. Liosa, a consistent type on the all-weather, is unlikely to be far away.
Prediction : 1st Scarboroughwarning 2nd Secret Road 3rd Liosa

This looks a fine opportunity for DARK LYRIC as she bids to record a first career success. Sean Woods' filly has displayed a consistent level of form across her three starts and is a safer option than Jumeirah Sea, who has shown clear ability but continues to pull her chance away. Invincible Spirit filly Zepparella is related to a handful of smart types and market support would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Dark Lyric 2nd Jumeirah Sea 3rd Zepparella

TEXAS STARLIGHT chased home a potentially useful type who had the benefit of previous experience on her debut at Newmarket. George Boughey's filly will have learned plenty from that and natural improvement might be enough to see her go one place better. Rock Diva shaped with promise at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow and is one of the likelier candidates. Newcomer Al Joory, a half-sister to the talented Shaara, needs monitoring in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Texas Starlight 2nd Rock Diva 3rd Al Joory

LADY ROXBY justified strong market support on her nursery bow at Musselburgh and the handicapper didn't miss that effort, with an 11lb rise given to Bryan Smart's filly. However, it wouldn't be a major surprise if she had more to offer based on the manner of that success. Commander Atkinson also stepped forward on his first start in handicap company when runner-up at Catterick and he is expected to play a leading role along with Force And Valour, who finished third at Yarmouth last month.
Prediction : 1st Lady Roxby 2nd Commander Atkinson 3rd Force And Valour

RECON MISSION can be forgiven his most recent display at Brighton, with the eight-year-old better judged on his nose defeat the time before at Lingfield off this mark. Jack Doughty's 5lb claim further aids his cause and he gets the vote in a contest that appears to be very winnable on paper. Toptime returns from a small break and is capable of being in the mix, while Three Beauz is of interest after wind surgery.
Prediction : 1st Recon Mission 2nd Toptime 3rd Three Beauz

ADVERT RULES was no match for a comfortable winner over C&D on his latest start, but this may be the time to catch Alan King's gelding. Blinkers were tried for the first time on that occasion and a more patient ride may see him reap the rewards. Delta Legend has gone close in recent outings and is respected along with Spantik, who returns to the all-weather for the first time in over two years.
Prediction : 1st Advert Rules 2nd Delta Legend 3rd Spantik

BELCAMO has scope to progress over this sort of trip and, having won a deeper race over 1m4f at Goodwood when last seen, this upwardly-mobile three-year-old is fancied to brush aside just a 3lb rise on his debut for a new yard. Beat The Clock and Kokinelli are other strong contenders to consider, while Reyaadah Star is interesting back on a synthetic surface and support for her in the betting would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Belcamo 2nd Beat The Clock 3rd Kokinelli

The reliable Kondratiev Wave and Dr Rio appeal based on recent efforts, with the former having the better record of the two on the all-weather and he may hold sway in that personal battle. However, cases can be made for several of the others when peak performances are factored into the equation. With that in mind, C&D scorer BUSHFIRE could take advantage of being 9lb below that last winning mark with first-time cheekpieces added. Adelabella and King Of York also warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Bushfire 2nd Kondratiev Wave 3rd Dr Rio
