UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

BRAVETHEWAVES arrives here having won two of his last three starts and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him from following up. Martalmix'jac has been knocking on the door but could have to settle for second once again, while recent Market Rasen runner-up Jar Du Desert is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bravethewaves 2nd Martalmixjac 3rd Jar Du Desert

TOMMY CULLEN was only narrowly denied when trying to follow up February's Doncaster success at the same venue earlier this month. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give Matt Crawley's seven-year-old a big chance in this company. The rest all have questions to answer right now, but Stringtoyourbow edges out Salley Gardens to be the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Tommy Cullen 2nd Stringtoyourbow 3rd Salley Gardens

SERVICE MINIMUM confirmed the promise she displayed on debut when second at Ludlow and Dan Skelton's mare is clearly the one to beat on the back of that performance. Miss Tinkerbell was well held on her racecourse bow, but is likely to improve for the experience and should not be discounted. The shortlist is completed by Rock Sensation, Harley's Pride and Misty Sunrise.
Prediction : 1st Service Minimum 2nd Miss Tinkerbell 3rd Rock Sensation

KOAPEY has done little wrong in filling the runner-up spot in each of his three previous starts and can take advantage of dropping back down in class. He simply went off too quickly, failing to last home at Newbury most recently, but Sean Bowen taking over in the saddle could provide the missing ingredient. Dual bumper winner Dunskay is feared most, although Saviour has scope for progression and is dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Koapey 2nd Dunskay 3rd Saviour

COASTAL ROCK has won two of his four starts since joining Olly Murphy and has a good chance of enhancing his strike-rate. He had something in hand when bouncing back to form at Bangor, where he readily banished a disappointing effort at Taunton to the memory. A 5lb higher rating looks workable for the follow-up attempt. Feivel is better treated in this sphere than he is over fences and is feared most. Top-weight Tigerbythetail is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Coastal Rock 2nd Feivel 3rd Tigerbythetail

Turned out again quickly after an easy success at Sedgefield last week, SCORSESE is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up under a 7lb penalty. Not beaten far when an untidy jump at the last cost him at Fontwell, Ivane is entitled to be thereabouts again on his second run for new connections. Sailed Away has dropped to a mark just 2lb above his last victory and cannot be ruled out with confidence.
Prediction : 1st Scorsese 2nd Ivane 3rd Sailed Away

Now that the penny has dropped for TRAMUNTANA after a comfortable success on his handicap debut at Huntingdon last month, Olly Murphy's charge should have plenty more to come and he can double up. Narrowly denied over the same track and trip recently, Our Pink Lady must enter calculations, while Ted's Friend continues to drop in the handicap for a stable in excellent form at present.
Prediction : 1st Tramuntana 2nd Our Pink Lady 3rd Teds Friend
