UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

MYSTICAL QUEEN made a pleasing start for the Gemma Tutty yard when a respectable third at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and she was kindly dropped 1lb subsequently. The daughter of Ribchester takes a big step up in trip and provided she stays, she could be the one to beat. Frostmagic was just touched off into second over a mile at Kempton last time and he also tackles this distance for the first time, so he is one to note. Karthon completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mystical Queen 2nd Frostmagic 3rd Karthon

LOKMA showed a big chunk of improvement when scoring in comfortable style to shed her maiden tag over C&D last time and she now makes her handicap debut. The daughter of Earthlight has progressed with each of her three starts and could take another step forward to defy an opening mark of 74. Keldeo was a short-head second at Catterick last month and needs considering, while Nightbird is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Lokma 2nd Keldeo 3rd Nightbird

Spirit Of Jenny shaped with lots of promise on her debut when finishing second at Leicester last month and she holds an obvious chance. However, BEE MY HONEY has taken the silver medal home on each of her two career starts, most recently over 7f at Kempton. The daughter of Mehmas may appreciate this drop in trip and she looks well placed to get off the mark. Your Love is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Bee My Honey 2nd Spirit Of Jenny 3rd Your Love

IRISH DANCER and Kipp Kelly look to be the pair to focus on. The latter has often run well in defeat and holds solid enough credentials to suggest he can at least go close in this company. However, Irish Dancer has the more convincing overall profile and can go one better having been denied by just a nose when second in a similar event most recently. Another Bungle and Victors Dream are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Irish Dancer 2nd Kipp Kelly 3rd Another Bungle

RUMBA NUMBA stepped forward from her debut at Yarmouth to break her maiden in a convincing manner at Wolverhampton last month and she is readily suggested as the one to be with. Big Leader was a surprise winner at Redcar on his racecourse bow but did it well and is another that should have more to give. Panelli is the pick of the rest with experience, while Sir Hannibal is an interesting debutant.
Prediction : 1st Rumba Numba 2nd Big Leader 3rd Panelli

Time Allowed and Tokyo Joe are respected but may do better when they tackle handicaps, while Alerta Maxima was a promising winner at Goodwood when last seen but the 12-month absence has to be a slight concern. With all that considered, it could pay to take a chance on the well-bred MAGIC STAR, who is a half-brother to the Listed winner Scentasia. This could be a good starting point for the William Haggas-trained colt.
Prediction : 1st Magic Star 2nd Time Allowed 3rd Tokyo Joe

SIBYL CHARM had to be switched for a clear run when third in a tougher contest at Musselburgh most recently. She would have finished closer to the winner otherwise, and Iain Jardine's charge can make the most of this easier opportunity. Age Of Baroque posted a better effort at Kempton last month and is likely to prove competitive with an apprentice's allowance in his favour, while Racing Country is worth a second glance debuting for a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Sibyl Charm 2nd Age Of Baroque 3rd Racing Country

Immediate Effect went close in novice company at Brighton on his return to action and has to be of interest now handicapping. However, FORT CAMPBELL also makes his handicap debut after scoring at Kempton on last month's reappearance. The son of War Front makes plenty of appeal with the prospect of more to come over this extra furlong, while Bowen Island could also get involved back in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st Fort Campbell 2nd Immediate Effect 3rd Bowen Island
