UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Having finished a close-up second at Wolverhampton in December, compensation could be heading in MOULIN BOOJ's direction. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks more than manageable for George Scott's charge and a fifth career victory could be on the cards. The five-year-old does lack a recent run, which gives hope to recent C&D third Rhythm N Hooves, while the downgraded Blind Beggar warrants respect too.
Prediction : 1st Moulin Booj 2nd Rhythm N Hooves 3rd Blind Beggar

HEBRIDEAN NOMAD has been knocking on the door in recent starts and the four-year-old makes plenty of appeal dropping in grade. Although the son of Ulysses isn't certain to stay the extra two furlongs, previous efforts suggest that he could improve for it. The biggest threat may emerge from Rogue Tornado, who is reverting to the all-weather after an unsuccessful attempt over hurdles at Plumpton. C&D winner Cinnodin shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Hebridean Nomad 2nd Rogue Tornado 3rd Cinnodin

THERAPIST found herself with too much to do when finishing fourth in a class 2 event over 1m2f at Lingfield 42 days ago. This extra furlong looks perfect for the daughter of Le Havre and she looks more than capable of scoring in class 4 company. Sid's Annie was demoted to second after causing interference to the reopposing Kinetic at Kempton last month, but the former is seen as the biggest danger.
Prediction : 1st Therapist 2nd Sids Annie 3rd Kinetic

Zeus Olympios justified short odds on his debut over 7f at Kempton and has to be respected. However, he might find it tough to give 7lb and a beating to ISLAND HERO. The three-year-old only found the exciting prospect Treasure Fleet too good at Wolverhampton last time and if he can take a step forward, then he could be the one. Any market confidence behind Bouquet De Paris would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Island Hero 2nd Zeus Olympios 3rd Bouquet De Paris

MATCH ANTHEM finished a neck behind Evoluir when second in a classified stakes off levels at Wolverhampton last time, but could reverse that form back in handicap company to record his third career success. Evoluir is likely to prove the main threat and has a previous course victory to aid his cause. King Of York struck in ready fashion over C&D on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance off 6lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Match Anthem 2nd Evoluir 3rd King Of York

IGNAC LAMAR showed a likeable attitude when coming from last to first to score snugly over C&D last month and he looks to have gotten away lightly with just a 1lb rise. Lion's Dream was too keen for his own good when third over this track and trip last time out and, provided he settles better this time around, appears well capable of making his presence felt. Mickey Mongoose was in winning form here on his penultimate start and he could go well off a 5lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Ignac Lamar 2nd Lions Dream 3rd Mickey Mongoose

VIXEY caught the eye when staying on into third over track and trip last time out and, in what looks a trappy affair on paper, she gets the tentative nod to go two places better off an unchanged mark. Dash Power arrives on the back of a couple of runner-up efforts and could emerge as the main danger to the selection. Fircombe Hall is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Vixey 2nd Dash Power 3rd Fircombe Hall

Runner-up over 5f here in a contest that has worked out very well since, BACKSPIN since ran with credit when upped in trip at Lingfield in January. The son of Hello Youmzain could now be well treated off a mark of 72 on his handicap debut and he may have too much for Massimo Blue, who got off the mark with a comfortable success at Kempton last time out. The relatively consistent Horus is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Backspin 2nd Massimo Blue 3rd Horus

BACK TOMORROW returned to form with a promising third over this distance at his beloved Wolverhampton last time out, and this apprentice handicap could be just what is needed to see him land a fourth success this year. Dropping back to 6f looks like a good move for Ustath, having led for most of the way before being worn down over further at Wolverhampton most recently. Mr Stanley and Tantomile cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Back Tomorrow 2nd Ustath 3rd Tantomile
