UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

THEFORMISMIGHTY made a promising start to his chasing career with a respectable fourth-placed finish over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in October and could find the addition of cheekpieces unlocks another gear, with the additional yardage also a likely source of improvement. Awaythelad and Yes Day both have similar profiles to the selection and also need serious consideration. Sainte Doctor holds a solid each-way chance.
Prediction : 1st Theformismighty 2nd Awaythelad 3rd Yes Day

Last-time-out winners NEIGH BOTHA and Haafback are suggested as the pair to focus on. Although a surprise winner on the day, the latter won with something in hand at Ludlow on his chasing debut and must rate a player off just 1lb higher. Nevertheless, the former has a stronger overall profile and could be up to giving weight away all round with his proven liking for this venue a big plus. Ben Buie and Havock complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Neigh Botha 2nd Haafback 3rd Ben Buie

BERKENSHTAAAP was purchased for 45,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in May and Olly Murphy's gelding merits the utmost respect on his Rules debut. Star Artist was not disgraced when filling fourth place on his racecourse bow in a Huntingdon bumper earlier in the year and he should not be discounted. Others to note are Hestina Hill and Dramatic Encore.
Prediction : 1st Berkenshtaaap 2nd Star Artist 3rd Hestina Hill

Le Fauve was highly tried as a juvenile but was slightly disappointing when a well-held third on his return at Chepstow in October. A subsequent wind operation may help his chances here, but preference is for JORDANS CROSS. The son of Berkshire won between the flags and filled second place on his Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper. With the benefit of that experience, he could be hard to stop. Law Of The Sea is another with valid form claims.
Prediction : 1st Jordans Cross 2nd Le Fauve 3rd Law Of The Sea

DISGUISEDLIMIT may have been well held when filling third place on his Rules debut at Chepstow last month, but that was a competitive event and the former point-to-point winner should be capable of going well in this company. Daytime Dreaming may prove to be the main threat following his encouraging effort at Uttoxeter in October, while any market support for Bank On Frank would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Disguisedlimit 2nd Daytime Dreaming 3rd Bank On Frank

The progressive Craven Bay regained the winning thread when drawing clear of his rivals at Kempton eight days ago. However, a 7lb penalty and quick turnaround may be enough to weigh him down and MR HOPE STREET makes slightly more appeal up in distance. The son of Jet Away arrives on the back of a solid second and this first attempt over 3m may see him back in the winner's enclosure. Space Voyage may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mr Hope Street 2nd Craven Bay 3rd Space Voyage

Kingoftheswingerz offered a lot more encouragement when second on his seasonal debut at Ffos Las last month and a 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another good account. That said, there are some interesting handicap debutants that may have his measure in point-to-point winner Let's Sail Away and SKIFFLE MAN, with marginal preference for the latter. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding is a full-brother to the useful stayer Tim Pat and this step up in distance could pay dividends.
Prediction : 1st Skiffle Man 2nd Lets Sail Away 3rd Kingoftheswingerz
