UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

CARAMAY was on target over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month before defying a 4lb rise over C&D a fortnight ago. Raised a further 3lb, she might still have more to come over this trip and is fancied to bring up a hat-trick. Handicap debutant Shady Bay is interesting from an opening mark of 63, while recent Chelmsford victor Achillea appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Caramay 2nd Shady Bay 3rd Achillea

Minelone shaped with promise on his debut at Wolverhampton last month but, while that experience will serve him well here, a chance is taken on ROGUE OFFICER. The son of Soldier's Call is related to several winners and it would come as no surprise if he proved good enough to land this. Arundel is another that requires a market check ahead of his debut.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Officer 2nd Minelone 3rd Arundel

Not a daunting standard set by those with experience so it might pay to side with EMPRESS MATILDA. Roger Varian has his team in fine fettle and this well-bred filly should not be underestimated. Tattie Bogle is a half-brother to four winners, one of which was successful on the all-weather. Charlie Johnston's colt is considered, along with Lightupyourlife, who fetched 37,000 euros at the sales last November and is also related to a winner on an artificial surface.
Prediction : 1st Empress Matilda 2nd Tattie Bogle 3rd Lightupyourlife

SPETSES finished runner-up on his racecourse bow at Newcastle at the start of the month and a repeat of that display would make Roger Varian's colt difficult to beat in a contest lacking much depth. Rogue State may benefit from a first-time tongue-tie and is more than capable of playing a key role in proceedings, while Mauchline and newcomer Sedbury are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Spetses 2nd Rogue State 3rd Sedbury

HARVARD SOUND was impressive when getting off the mark at Lingfield in June before being presented with a straightforward task at the same track the following month. Tom Clover's gelding is taken to land the hat-trick on his handicap debut with the likelihood of more to come. Lattaash is another unexposed three-year-old who is capable of taking another step forward, with Street Kid, How Impressive and Noodle Mission others likely to be very competitive.
Prediction : 1st Harvard Sound 2nd Lattaash 3rd Street Kid

BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE made what was essentially a winning return to action at Salisbury having taken no part at Chester the time before after rearing up in the stalls. It wouldn't be a surprise if the four-year-old could step forward from that effort, despite the handicapper giving him a 4lb rise. A return to the Flat may see Gordon Grey in a much better light after his recent exploits over hurdles, while Baltic, who disappointed when searching for a six-timer at Newmarket, is expected to bounce back on this occasion.
Prediction : 1st Berkshire Sundance 2nd Gordon Grey 3rd Baltic

COOLAGH MAGIC was beaten just a half-length over 6f at Lingfield in September and a repeat of that effort would make him difficult to beat. Anthony Carson's gelding paid for his early exertions on that occasion and should he settle better, he could be a tough nut to crack. Urban Dandy wasn't beaten far over C&D last time and another bold bid can be expected, while Shaka also appeals.
Prediction : 1st Coolagh Magic 2nd Urban Dandy 3rd Shaka

An open contest sees a chance taken on MASQUE OF ANARCHY, who arrives here 10lb below his last winning mark. Craig Lidster's charge was not beaten far over a stiff 1m2f at Newcastle in September and eased 1lb, he can take advantage of this exploitable mark. Love Yours scored in good style over C&D last week, but a 6lb penalty could be difficult to conquer, while Wolverhampton scorer Kojin will also need to defy a penalty to claim this prize.
Prediction : 1st Masque Of Anarchy 2nd Love Yours 3rd Kojin

JALAYBEE ran on strongly to score over C&D earlier this month and this represents a good opportunity to follow up that success. Declan Carroll's charge has been raised 3lb for that victory, which can be negated by Zak Wheatley's claim. Fellow last-time-out scorer Triggerman shed his maiden tag over C&D last month and appears likely to be on the scene again, while a return to form would see Midnight Drive in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Jalaybee 2nd Triggerman 3rd Midnight Drive
