UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

BEALE STREET scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when landing the spoils over this trip at Newcastle recently and he should prove tough to stop despite a 4lb rise. Dark Side Thunder wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over C&D last time out but it wasn't a poor effort and he commands respect off an unchanged mark, while this drop to 6f could see Cargin Bhui go well.
Prediction : 1st Beale Street 2nd Dark Side Thunder 3rd Cargin Bhui

DIVIDEND appeared to relish the step up to this trip when running out a taking winner at Kempton last September and, provided he is fully tuned up on his return from an absence, he looks the one to beat. Chesneys Charm went down narrowly over a mile at Newcastle when last seen and a bold bid looks likely off 1lb higher. City Of God is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Dividend 2nd Chesneys Charm 3rd City Of God

CAVOLO NERO scored in the style of a promising individual when landing the spoils over this track and trip on his debut last month and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to bring up a double. Bozeman caught the eye when staying on into fifth over this trip at Kempton on his debut and the son of Mehmas warrants the utmost respect for the Ralph Beckett team. Western Ruler is respected too.
Prediction : 1st Cavolo Nero 2nd Bozeman 3rd Western Ruler

Ten Commitments is effective over 7f and is notable debuting for Scott Dixon off 6lb higher than his Kempton success over a mile when last seen. However, the thriving SOAMES FORSYTE is hard to overlook after scoring comprehensively over C&D 16 days ago. His revised rating demands more but his proven course form earns him the vote. Onemorenomore can also figure for a place.
Prediction : 1st Soames Forsyte 2nd Ten Commitments 3rd Onemorenomore

KING OF ITHACA has won with Rossa Ryan in the saddle before and being reunited with that in-form jockey is a highly persuasive aspect in the favour of the five-year-old. Allied to that, he is already a dual C&D winner that has fared very well with a plumb draw in stall one. Cliffcake made all to win over 6f here last time and should also figure if the cheekpieces have the same impact second time around. Mereside Madness and Bomb Squad are others with place possibilities.
Prediction : 1st King Of Ithaca 2nd Cliffcake 3rd Mereside Madness

The family tradition of excelling with middle-distance horses has only been enhanced since Charlie Johnston took over the training license from his father, and although SAX APPEAL has limitations, he is still on a feasible mark and this could be a good piece of placement as he bids to complete a hat-trick off just 4lb higher than for the latest of his two recent Wolverhampton successes. Charlie's Choice also won at the same venue latest and is feared most under a 5lb penalty. Hitched is another solid option.
Prediction : 1st Sax Appeal 2nd Charlies Choice 3rd Hitched

TRIBAL ACT impressed when coming away to record a wide margin success at Kempton last month and the son of Sea The Stars, who is related to a couple of useful types, looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Paratrooper kept on into second over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on his debut but he can be more potent now upped in trip, while Lady Vivian, who cost 160,000gns as a yearling, warrants a market check having spent 107 days on the sidelines.
Prediction : 1st Tribal Act 2nd Paratrooper 3rd Lady Vivian

The draw hasn't been kind to Sun Keeper, who must shoulder a penalty having opened her account at Wolverhampton recently. She merits respect nonetheless though, but it is HYPE MERCHANT that shades preference. David Loughnane's charge struck the crossbar over 7f on his seasonal return at Chelmsford recently but with a drop in trip likely to suit, he can go one place better. Any market support for handicap debutant Martha Costello would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Hype Merchant 2nd Sun Keeper 3rd Martha Costello
