UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

KALEIDOSCOPE EYES produced arguably her best effort when runner-up over C&D in October and a repeat of that performance might see her get off the mark at the eighth attempt. Sarabi is likely to appreciate a step up in trip on her nursery bow based on her most recent performance at Wolverhampton. She enters calculations along with Born Too Run and Tiempo Alegre.
Prediction : 1st Kaleidoscope Eyes 2nd Sarabi 3rd Born Too Run

ELIGIBLE returned to winning ways at Newcastle earlier in the month and the eight-year-old, a four-time scorer at this venue, has a strong chance of backing it up under a 4lb penalty. King Of Ithaca bids for a third track-and-trip victory in 2024 following his latest triumph here in November so must be feared. Lord Rapscallion went agonisingly close at Chelmsford last week and is respected along with Alreet Cha.
Prediction : 1st Eligible 2nd King Of Ithaca 3rd Lord Rapscallion

KING DAVID didn't fully appear to see out the extended mile when third at Wolverhampton last time and the return to 7f appears to be the right move for Marco Botti's gelding. Starshiba has been performing consistently well on the all-weather in recent months and is respected on his first run for a new stable, while others to note are Profit Street and Toussarok.
Prediction : 1st King David 2nd Starshiba 3rd Profit Street

Heathen bounced back to form when winning nicely over 1m6f here and warrants plenty of respect, but ALRAZEEN was arguably even more impressive when landing the spoils over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton so he shades the verdict. Clockmaker is the least exposed member of the line-up and could land a blow on what is only his second handicap start.
Prediction : 1st Alrazeen 2nd Heathen 3rd Clockmaker

A number of these look to hold claims, so FIORELLA PRINCESS receives what can only be a tentative vote. The Sands Of Mali filly has progressed in each of her three starts to date and cutting back from 6f holds no fears judged on the speed she showed at Wolverhampton last time, when only headed towards the finish. Commander Atkinson was just behind a subsequent winner when third in 0-85 company over C&D and he must enter calculations dropped in class. Solvency and Solar Edge are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Fiorella Princess 2nd Commander Atkinson 3rd Solvency

Difficult to be too confident about any of these, but REBEL STAR left her debut performance well behind when chasing home a short-priced favourite over this trip at Lingfield last month and she could make it third-time lucky with any further improvement. Elegant Call finished last of four in that race, but may improve from her first appearance for the Michael Appleby stable. American Fashion and Popular Dream also merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Star 2nd Elegant Call 3rd American Fashion

MASTER OF MY FATE has tumbled 13lb in the handicap this year and looks set to take advantage based on Monday's second at Newcastle. Beaten only a head on that occasion, a return to winning ways looks imminent. One More Wave landed a higher grade sprint over C&D in November and returns to this venue with every chance, while Smooth Silesie is not out of it either and makes more appeal than Counsel over this minimum trip.
Prediction : 1st Master Of My Fate 2nd One More Wave 3rd Smooth Silesie

CHERRY HILL is potentially well treated competing off a 7lb lower mark than when last successful. Dominic Ffrench Davis' filly has been thereabouts at Kempton recently and is likely to prove competitive once again. A winner at Newcastle last month, Just Typical is usually in the mix at this level, while Northern Cracksman will be sharper for a comeback run here and merits consideration on only his second start for his new trainer.
Prediction : 1st Cherry Hill 2nd Just Typical 3rd Northern Cracksman

Placed at Newcastle last week, SHOWTIME MAHOMES won over C&D before that and Grant Tuer's charge gets another chance back at this venue. Monsieur Beaulieu hosed up by five lengths over 7f at Lingfield and can feature again with a 5lb penalty negated by his rider's allowance, while No Saint also drops down in distance having landed a double with last month's success at Chelmsford. First Company is not out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Showtime Mahomes 2nd Monsieur Beaulieu 3rd No Saint
