UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

A few with chances, but the vote goes to COURT DRIVE. The Inns Of Court filly must shoulder a 5lb penalty having bolted up at Kempton recently, but that might not be enough to stop her, especially given that she's drawn handily again. Man On A Mission finished second behind the selection that day but with cheekpieces applied for the first time, he might be able to close the gap. That being said, Wee Fat Mac has been knocking hard at the door recently and he could be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Court Drive 2nd Wee Fat Mac 3rd Man On A Mission

MARCHOGION made little impact on his handicap debut at Newcastle a fortnight ago, but the Mehmas colt sets a useful standard with an official rating of 85 and he is expected to prove too strong back in novice company. Fidget Lady wouldn't need to be anything out of the ordinary to be involved and she warrants a market check ahead of her first start, while Secret Sausage heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Marchogion 2nd Fidget Lady 3rd Secret Sausage

SWINGING LONDON made it three wins from his last four appearances when defeating a progressive rival over C&D last Friday. The pair pulled well clear that day, so, despite having never defied a mark this high previously, the 4lb penalty incurred for that victory might not halt his progress. Recent course winner Nibiru is feared most, while others to consider include Robusto and Optician.
Prediction : 1st Swinging London 2nd Nibiru 3rd Robusto

Although EYDON arrives on the back of a close-up second behind reopposing winner Champagne Prince in a Listed event at Kempton, a 2lb pull could make all the difference. The six-year-old was given too much to do in a short space of time on that occasion and a more aggressive ride may see Andrew Balding's inmate coming out on top. Fellow in-form rival Intinso may chase the aforementioned pair home.
Prediction : 1st Eydon 2nd Champagne Prince 3rd Intinso

RUBELLITE did little wrong when finding only a subsequent winner too strong over 1m3f here 17 days ago. An extra furlong is likely to suit Stella Barclay's mare if judged on her penultimate victory over an extended 1m4f distance at Newcastle and compensation could be in the offing. Bay Of Naples should prove more competitive now pitched into classified company and the veteran is likely to enter calculations along with Zooks.
Prediction : 1st Rubellite 2nd Bay Of Naples 3rd Zooks

THE RESDEV WAY returned to form with a solid third in a class 6 handicap at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he makes plenty of appeal reverting to classified company. The majority of these have something to prove at present, so this looks a suitable opportunity for the veteran to land a 14th career victory. Dee's Dream appreciated the step up in trip when hitting the frame at Newcastle and she's worth a second look, along with Zafaan.
Prediction : 1st The Resdev Way 2nd Dees Dream 3rd Zafaan

Joolianoss struck by half a length over 1m2f at Newcastle after his C&D victory and should mount a bold bid in his attempt to complete a hat-trick. However, the vote goes to MASTER OF COMBAT, who has filled the runner-up spot on each of his last two starts, most recently in this grade at Lingfield. Kevin Frost's seven-year-old goes off a 1lb higher mark and could be the one to beat. The Cookstown Cafu isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Master Of Combat 2nd Joolianoss 3rd The Cookstown Cafu

Wilde And Dandy remains in good heart after taking the silver medal home over C&D on his latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts off an unchanged mark. However, it may pay to side with LEGAL REFORM, who finished second over track and trip earlier in the month and is only 1lb higher. If he can run to a similar level, then he may prove hard to beat. Last-time-out Wolverhampton scorer Tiger Crusade is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Legal Reform 2nd Wilde And Dandy 3rd Tiger Crusade
