UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

KHANGAI won on his latest outing at Wolverhampton when benefiting from a step back up in trip and a 2lb rise is unlikely to stop the five-year-old from gaining further success. Moon Over The Sea is 1lb higher than a brace of seconds last month, including over C&D, and is expected to be in the mix again. Others to consider are Forest Spirit and Bay Of Naples.
Prediction : 1st Khangai 2nd Moon Over The Sea 3rd Forest Spirit

SCARLET SUNSET built on her maiden success at Wolverhampton when returning to the same venue on her handicap debut and just doing enough to score by a neck. Her pedigree offers some hope that stepping up to 1m4f might unlock further progression and she is taken to make it a hat-trick of victories. One Horse Town got off the mark at Kempton earlier in the month and has to enter calculations along with Patrol.
Prediction : 1st Scarlet Sunset 2nd One Horse Town 3rd Patrol

Top Of The Class seemed to appreciate more positive tactics when gaining a third career victory at Kempton, but a 6lb rise might prove to be her undoing. The vote goes to VIENNOISE, who may have just needed her first run for David O'Meara when fourth at Lingfield. Her trainer has a fine record with similar types and a 2lb drop further aids her cause. Gaiety Musical and Enola Grey appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Viennoise 2nd Top Of The Class 3rd Gaiety Musical

Regalian probably didn't have to beat much on his Newcastle debut, but landed odds of 2/5 with the minimum of fuss and looks a decent prospect. He will do well to successfully concede 7lb to MODERN DAY, who was turned over at odds-on on his introduction but still shaped with plenty of promise at Kempton and can take the necessary step forward. General Admission was half a length ahead of Joseph when they took minor honours over C&D, while Your Lordship is worth a look on his return.
Prediction : 1st Modern Day 2nd Regalian 3rd General Admission

GOOD BANTER developed well as a juvenile and was sent off favourite for his handicap bow at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Clive Cox's colt had to settle for a place in mid-division, but he was forced wide throughout so can be given another chance, with the extra furlong in his favour. Saxonia gained compensation for a narrow Newcastle defeat when returning there to break his duck and is a definite threat. High On Hope wasn't disgraced in a big sales race at York and could play a part on his reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Good Banter 2nd Saxonia 3rd High On Hope

Blue Lakota has a decent chance running off just 2lb higher than his C&D win from last time out. However, being drawn in stall nine does him no favours and could be tricky to overcome. With that in mind, the vote goes to the less-exposed LEADENHALL STREET, who was also a cosy winner over track and trip most recently and could have plenty more to offer on just his second start in a handicap. Brosay and the returning Ziggy's Ariel are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Leadenhall Street 2nd Blue Lakota 3rd Brosay

Some wily characters are drawn together and the likes of Temple Bruer, One More Dream and Classy Clarets are all dangerous to rule out in this competitive sprint handicap. However, DICKO THE LEGEND shades the vote from an attractive rating and can turn last month's Chelmsford form around with the first of that aforementioned trio, as a 1lb pull at the weights tips the scales in his favour this time.
Prediction : 1st Dicko The Legend 2nd Temple Bruer 3rd One More Dream
