UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

TIEMPO ALEGRE needed every yard of the trip when she edged out Kaleidoscope Eyes over 7f here last week and with the additional furlong considered a likely source of progression, the Jack Jones-trained filly can cement her authority over the runner-up under a 6lb penalty. Precious Spartan has experience over this trip and is a serious threat after a near-miss at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Majestic Heights, a 7f winner at Brighton most recently, is respected off 6lb higher on his Tapeta debut.
Prediction : 1st Tiempo Alegre 2nd Kaleidoscope Eyes 3rd Precious Spartan

A 5lb penalty imposed for an all-the-way Wolverhampton success might not be enough to prevent FITZ PERFECTLY from registering a quickfire double. A handy draw on the inside is an added bonus for the Danny Brooke-trained filly, whose improved form since joining the yard has been notable. Northern Cracksman and Urban Dandy are suggested as the two main dangers to the selection, although Tapeta winner Mr Heinz is not ruled out in this company.
Prediction : 1st Fitz Perfectly 2nd Northern Cracksman 3rd Urban Dandy

ELETTARIA wasn't beaten far over this trip at Newcastle last month and may be able to make the most of a potentially competitive mark given she sits on a rating 2lb below her only previous winning figure on the all-weather. From 2lb below her last (turf) handicap success, Available Angel also appeals and has to be worth another try over this distance after performing with credit over 7f here and at Wolverhampton. Ajrad and Ciara Storm complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Elettaria 2nd Available Angel 3rd Ajrad

Sugar Hill Babe bids for a hat-trick of C&D wins, but faces a tougher assignment in this higher grade and raised a further 4lb. Ziggy's Missile reappeared after a layoff with a solid effort at Wolverhampton and merits consideration, although BEDFORD FLYER makes most appeal. Mick Appleby's sprinter led for a lot of the way over track and trip on his return from a short break and is fancied to make a bold bid in this lower grade with that outing under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Bedford Flyer 2nd Ziggys Missile 3rd Sugar Hill Babe

FARANDAWAY looks to have solid claims back in novice company. Grant Tuer's charge found only one too strong in a nursery here last week and he should have the beating of Captain Kinsella on these terms. The latter is penalised for winning at Newcastle but might have more to offer, while Cemlyn showed plenty of early pace when fourth over 6f on debut and this shorter trip will suit. Coul Angel and Hello Zaman are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Farandaway 2nd Captain Kinsella 3rd Cemlyn

SECTARIUS won at Newcastle before just missing out at the same venue. Due to be raised 4lb for that latest effort, Ed Bethell's charge can take advantage and resume winning ways. Kitty Furnival finished a creditable third when on a hat-trick at Wolverhampton, despite being hampered, and can feature in the finish once again. Dunstan has won four times on Tapeta and is entitled to respect off his current mark, having been gelded since last in action.
Prediction : 1st Sectarius 2nd Kitty Furnival 3rd Dunstan

A comfortable winner here in October, and placed twice since at Wolverhampton, COME ON JOHN narrowly sets the standard on recent form and he can notch up a sixth career success. That may be at the main expense of Fiftyshadesaresdev, who has been runner-up on three of his last four starts, including twice here. Kojin is another to consider, as are Opticality and Zousca.
Prediction : 1st Come On John 2nd Fiftyshadesaresdev 3rd Kojin

Out of a Listed winner and from the family of Group 3 scorer Molatham, PICTURESQUE is an interesting newcomer for prestigious owners. The form of the Gosden stable is another big plus and she is narrowly preferred to Chelmsford debut winner Muddy Mooy, who has since switched yards and has a 5lb penalty to carry. A consistent sort without getting her head in front, Dark Lyric is capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Picturesque 2nd Muddy Mooy 3rd Dark Lyric

DASHING PANTHER continues to go from strength to strength and stepping up further in trip may bring about more improvement as he bids to land the hat-trick. An 8lb rise for his most recent success looks manageable and he may have too much for the unexposed Emaculate Soldier, who makes his handicap debut for new connections after occupying the runner-up berth over 1m4f here twice earlier in the year. A respectable second at Wolverhampton when attempting to supplement a Newcastle success, Little Peter cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Dashing Panther 2nd Emaculate Soldier 3rd Little Peter
