UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Having scored in a novice event at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, further improvement cannot be ruled out from Rosenpur. However, Jennie Candlish's gelding returns to handicap company off a 5lb higher mark and it could be worth taking a chance on the downgraded HAVECHATMA. The dual track-and-trip winner offered more encouragement when fourth over C&D latest and a 2lb drop in the ratings will help. Show Me Show Me is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Havechatma 2nd Rosenpur 3rd Show Me Show Me

Ant Colony arrives on the back of a respectable fifth on his handicap bow at Kempton and he should put his experience to good use reverting to maiden company. Cherry Cobbler has offered plenty of encouragement on his two outings to date and the son of Zoustar is also worth a second look. However, the aforementioned pair could prove vulnerable to newcomer NOBLE VICTORY, a half-brother to Jungle Cove, and market support for James Tate's colt would increase confidence.
Prediction : 1st Noble Victory 2nd Ant Colony 3rd Cherry Cobbler

CARAMAY has proved most progressive throughout her current campaign and the daughter of Lethal Force arrives on the back of a cosy victory over 1m3f here. That was the five-year-old's fifth triumph since September and a 2lb rise looks lenient. Although Humble Spark was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when runner-up at Newcastle last week, Jim Goldie's gelding is feared most, ahead of Charlie's Choice.
Prediction : 1st Caramay 2nd Humble Spark 3rd Charlies Choice

Three from three before finishing down the field at Royal Ascot in June, DYRHOLAEY returned to action with a promising third at Wolverhampton last month, despite being a beaten favourite. The unexposed four-year-old will undoubtedly come on for that run and should go very close off an unchanged mark. It's been some time since King's Lynn's last success but a drop in class will help, while Rohaan is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Dyrholaey 2nd Kings Lynn 3rd Rohaan

FURTHER MEASURE caught the eye at Wolverhampton earlier this month before going on to record a commanding success over this C&D last Thursday, and a 4lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. That said, Blue Sky Boy has few miles on the clock and, having kept on over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time, the step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Dark Mystery is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Further Measure 2nd Blue Sky Boy 3rd Dark Mystery

Cloch Nua is likely to prove popular having landed a couple of similar events over the mile at Newcastle recently but, although respected, a drop in trip might not play to his strengths and VAN ZANT is preferred. Ruth Carr's gelding hit the woodwork at Wolverhampton on his penultimate outing before going one better over C&D last time, and a reproduction of that performance might be good enough. Evoluir can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Van Zant 2nd Cloch Nua 3rd Evoluir

PORFIN made most when scoring by two lengths in this company at Lingfield six days ago and, providing he can run to a similar level, he might be able to follow up. Hawajes is a previous C&D winner who sports first-time blinkers after finishing third behind the selection last week, and could get closer. Of the remainder, Miss Calculation makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Porfin 2nd Hawajes 3rd Miss Calculation

Tea Sea successfully completed a double when scoring over a mile here at the start of the month, but a 2lb rise makes life tougher and FISTRAL BEACH is preferred. John Mackie's four-year-old grabbed third towards the finish over C&D last week and could defy her 2lb higher mark to shed the maiden tag. Reputation is holding his form well at present and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Fistral Beach 2nd Tea Sea 3rd Reputation

SOAMES FORSYTE regained the winning thread in good style over track and trip earlier in the month and is only 4lb higher. Michael Herrington's six-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that performance in order to go in again. Available Angel attempted to make every yard of the running when fading into fourth over C&D last week and might get into contention, while Cliffcake also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Soames Forsyte 2nd Available Angel 3rd Cliffcake
