UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Expected to come on for her debut at Chelmsford, Sibling Rivelry may be the pick of those with experience after keeping on for a distant fourth over 1m that day, but she doesn't set the bar very high at all and it could pay to concentrate on interesting newcomers Papa Mango and CAPTAIN PARMA. Both make appeal at this level on pedigree and represent in-form yards but narrow preference is for the latter, whose dam won over 6f on dirt at Meydan and was also placed in a 1m Listed contest there.
Prediction : 1st Captain Parma 2nd Papa Mango 3rd Sibling Rivelry

Live Aid led for a while when runner-up at 100/1 over 1m at Newcastle last month, but failed to beat a rival home over this C&D the time before and FULFORD CROSS looks a much more reliable option. David Simcock's gelding did well to finish within a head of the winner after a slow start on his debut over 7f at Kempton, an experience that won't have been lost on him and this extra furlong should really suit on that evidence. Second on both starts to date, including over this track and trip first time out, I'll Give It A Go also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Fulford Cross 2nd Ill Give It A Go 3rd Live Aid

Charlie Appleby has an impressive 32 per cent strike-rate at this venue in the last five years and he saddles newcomer Wishful Spirit, a full-sister to a dual 7f juvenile winner, and Romantic Opera. The latter found one too good when sent off at odds-on over this trip at Kempton last time and could be worth another chance, but ZABEEL RAIN made eye-catching late headway when fifth over a mile here last month and she is perhaps the most interesting now stepped up in trip. Dojin also looked in need of further when third over 1m on debut.
Prediction : 1st Zabeel Rain 2nd Romantic Opera 3rd Wishful Spirit

Now that KING OF YORK has regained the winning thread after a taking performance over C&D last month, Scott Dixon's charge looks capable of going in again off 6lb higher, with Kieran O'Neill getting the mount this time around. Only beaten a neck when last seen at Leicester in October, Blufferonthebus is one to consider on her return, while The Organiser is turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty after scoring over C&D on Tuesday.
Prediction : 1st King Of York 2nd Blufferonthebus 3rd The Organiser

A winner of two of his last three starts over C&D, including last time out off 3lb lower, LEGAL REFORM still looks well treated and he can score once more for the in-form Michael Herrington outfit. Feared most is Abduction, who was an eye-catcher on his first run in 119 days when third over track and trip last month. A capable sort on his day, Zip must also enter calculations off a mark of 84.
Prediction : 1st Legal Reform 2nd Abduction 3rd Zip

This can go the way of OUR HAVANA, who performed with credit when upped in grade over C&D last time and he should be much more at home at this level. The four-year-old won over C&D on his penultimate outing and he may have too much for Feel The Need, who came from off the pace when not beaten far over track and trip on his latest start. Diamondonthehill also merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Our Havana 2nd Feel The Need 3rd Diamondonthehill

ROHAAN remains on a dangerous mark judged on his last couple of starts at this venue and the seven-year-old is given a chance to bounce back from his most recent appearance at Lingfield two weeks ago when unable to land a blow. Mums Tipple finished ahead of the selection in the aforementioned contest and is entitled to have stepped forward, especially with that being his first run since November. Others to note are Badri and Fivethousandtoone.
Prediction : 1st Rohaan 2nd Mums Tipple 3rd Badri

SAX APPEAL arrives very much at the top of his game having backed up a brace of Wolverhampton successes with a 14-length rout over 1m4f here a fortnight ago. The handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 5lb and Charlie Johnston's gelding is expected to prove a tough nut to crack. Not Me may improve for a step up in trip, while Charlie's Choice and Humble Spark complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sax Appeal 2nd Not Me 3rd Charlies Choice

Shaw Park returned to winning ways on his latest start here over 7f but Scott Dixon's gelding will need to improve on that effort given he's 3lb wrong under a penalty. With that in mind, the vote goes to WILDE AND DANDY. The five-year-old ran on to finish second over 7f at Chelmsford latest and the return to a mile may help. Mr Mistoffelees and Yeoman appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Wilde And Dandy 2nd Shaw Park 3rd Mr Mistoffelees
