UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Having regained the winning thread over C&D in February, another bold bid is forecast from HOW AND EVER. Oliver Signy's gelding got the better of a subsequent winner, and a 4lb higher mark looks more than workable. High Game Royal has been contesting stronger races over hurdles in recent months and he isn't taken lightly now reverting to chasing. The eight-year-old is feared most, ahead of Always Busy.
Prediction : 1st How And Ever 2nd High Game Royal 3rd Always Busy

BALLYVAUGHAN BAY was unfortunate to bump into a rejuvenated rival on the hurdles track here 27 days ago and a similar performance on his chase bow may suffice. The eight-year-old has all the attributes to make it in this discipline and he's preferred to Baby Chou. Even though Sam England's mare remains a maiden under Rules, she looks capable of going close judged on the pick of her form. No More No is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ballyvaughan Bay 2nd Baby Chou 3rd No More No

Night Burlesque arguably sets the standard on her latest sixth at Uttoxeter and she should put her experience to good use. However, she is vulnerable to a debutant in this sphere, with QUEENSWORTHY topping the bill. The five-year-old displayed ability when finishing second between the flags last year and makes plenty of appeal as a half-sister to debut bumper scorer/smart novice hurdler Queensbury Boy. Garde My Guinness and Jazzoon also require a market check.
Prediction : 1st Queensworthy 2nd Night Burlesque 3rd Garde My Guinness

BRINDLEY was fourth on his handicap debut, albeit well held, at Perth last month and a repeat of that performance may well be good enough in this very moderate contest. Pottersjetamay was second over 2m4f at this venue back in December and although his subsequent form has not matched that level, he could bounce back. Kingston Bresil is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Brindley 2nd Pottersjetamay 3rd Kingston Bresil

WIND YOUR NECK IN took a big step forward when runner-up over C&D on his second hurdles start. With the prospect of more to come, the six-year-old is the one to beat here. R S Ambush also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat. The rest all have plenty to prove, but Hijo De La Luna completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wind Your Neck In 2nd R S Ambush 3rd Hijo De La Luna

Matchless landed a selling hurdle over 2m at Hexham recently. However, he faces a tougher assignment upped in distance on his return to handicapping and LUNE DE LA MER makes more appeal. The eight-year-old was no match for the winner when runner-up at Bangor, but he finished well clear of the rest and will be hard to keep out of the finish. Strictly Tango has more scope than most and could also land a blow.
Prediction : 1st Lune De La Mer 2nd Matchless 3rd Strictly Tango

COCONUT TWIST landed a double on fast going before finishing an admirable second in testing conditions at Newton Abbot. Daisy Hitchins' inmate looks worth sticking with in his current form, back on his favoured surface. He looks to have most to fear from Jaytee, who returns from a lengthy absence having returned an emphatic winner at Doncaster in January last year. Hourvari is preferred to Storm Nelson of the remaining pair.
Prediction : 1st Coconut Twist 2nd Jaytee 3rd Hourvari
