UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

SUDDEN FLIGHT displayed plenty of early speed when third on debut at Wolverhampton over 6f and the manner of that performance suggested the drop to 5f would help to make the difference required on this occasion. Queenofdestruction sports a hood for the first time and the daughter of Dandy Man commands plenty of respect, while others for the shortlist include Hammer The Hammer and Coeur Jaune.
Prediction : 1st Sudden Flight 2nd Queenofdestruction 3rd Hammer The Hammer

SUGAR ROAD didn't appear to be in love with the heavy ground when fourth to a subsequent Listed winner at Hamilton in August. The runner-up also advertised the form by landing a valuable handicap next time and the son of Masar, who was gelded after that performance, is taken to come out on top. Java Raja benefited plenty from his first run when scoring at Wolverhampton in December and has to enter the reckoning, while Lingfield bumper winner Foxlight appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sugar Road 2nd Java Raja 3rd Foxlight

LIAM SWAGGER may well be using this ahead of a potential tilt at Cheltenham and James Owen's gelding appears to have been found the ideal opportunity to gain his first victory on the level. Another Lifetime ran with plenty of credit when third here in December, having stumbled leaving the stalls, and is open to further improvement. Roland Garros is worth another chance to showcase his true ability following a below par effort at Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st Liam Swagger 2nd Another Lifetime 3rd Roland Garros

Whizz By successfully completed the hat-trick at this track on her most recent start and a 4lb rise for that victory may not be enough to prevent her from going in again. Even so, WEST TYRONE makes slightly more appeal. Kevin Ryan's three-year-old ran a career-best when second on his handicap debut at Newcastle earlier in the month and only has a 1lb higher rating to contend with. A repeat of that effort might be good enough, while Panama Black is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st West Tyrone 2nd Whizz By 3rd Panama Black

Despite pulling hard, MANY A STAR still managed to score over track and trip last time, which made it three wins out of his last four starts. The eight-year-old remains in the same class and still has room for manoeuvre off his current rating, so he looks the one to beat. Cairn Gorm produced a good effort when second at Lingfield at the start of the month and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark, while Rohaan isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Many A Star 2nd Cairn Gorm 3rd Rohaan

You Are Everything did well to only be denied by a nose into second in this class over 7f at Wolverhampton last time considering she suffered a troubled passage turning for home. However, it may pay to side with INEXPLICABLE, who accounted for Brinton (third) when beaten by the smallest of margins into second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton earlier this month. With a repeat of that display, he will prove hard to beat.
Prediction : 1st Inexplicable 2nd You Are Everything 3rd Brinton

PORTORO was always holding the runner-up when scoring narrowly over track and trip earlier this month and the suspicion is that a 2lb rise may not be enough to prevent this consistent type from going in again. Clyde Bay wasn't seen to best effect when third over C&D last time and it would be no surprise if he were able to make his presence felt off an unchanged mark, while the bang in-form Bomb Squad cannot be taken lightly either.
Prediction : 1st Portoro 2nd Clyde Bay 3rd Bomb Squad

Billy McGarry has posted three solid placed efforts of late, most recently over this C&D, and he looks well capable of making his presence felt off what remains a competitive mark. That said, WINDSOR PASS is preferred. The daughter of Lope De Vega did it well when scoring over this trip at Chelmsford last month and, upped just 2lb, another bold bid looks likely. Fellow last-time-out winner Mickey Mongoose rates the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Windsor Pass 2nd Billy McGarry 3rd Mickey Mongoose

HUMBLE SPARK was doing his best work late on when finishing a narrow runner-up over 1m2f at Newcastle earlier this month and, stepping back up in trip, he gets the vote. Tortured Soul arrives in search of a hat-trick having scored gamely at Wolverhampton and Lingfield the last twice and another bold bid would come as no surprise. Swinging London completes the shortlist, though this drop in distance asks a question of him.
Prediction : 1st Humble Spark 2nd Tortured Soul 3rd Swinging London
