UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Bay Dream Believer has won on her last three outings and stayed on strongly to score twice at Ripon last month, although she has had six starts on the all-weather without a place. She might still prove the biggest danger to NIGHT TARA, who is trained by last year's winning handler Sir Mark Prescott. Second when attempting to complete a Chelmsford brace, despite racing wide, she can go one better now upped in trip. Princess Niyla was beaten a neck at Redcar and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Night Tara 2nd Bay Dream Believer 3rd Princess Niyla

With the Crisford horses in good form, a big run is on the cards from Fiery Damsel, a daughter of Too Darn Hot who is one to watch on her first appearance. Jumeirah Sands was strongly fancied before missing the start and finishing fifth at Wolverhampton. She could do a lot better, but INSIDE STORY is the form choice. Fifth on her debut but only beaten a half-length since when second at Kempton, slight improvement may be all she needs.
Prediction : 1st Inside Story 2nd Jumeirah Sands 3rd Fiery Damsel

DAVORGE NATION is the obvious pick, despite carrying a 6lb penalty, as he is due to go up a further 2lb for future contests. Running on well at Musselburgh last week, he was a length clear at the line, with the third a long way back, and there is every chance the sixth furlong will see him in an even better light. Spartacus Warrior is interesting dropping back in trip after his Beverley second, while White Ladder is better than he showed last time out.
Prediction : 1st Davorge Nation 2nd Spartacus Force 3rd White Ladder

Urban Dandy hasn't finished outside the top two in any of his last five starts, winning once, and is likely to be thereabouts again. Hint Of The Jungle competes off a career-low rating and needs considering, but ASADJUMEIRAH bounced back to form when making the frame at Redcar and has been dropped 1lb. With a similar display, Antony Brittain's charge could be the one to beat.
Prediction : 1st Asadjumeirah 2nd Urban Dandy 3rd Hint Of The Jungle

Sapphire Princess has shown ability in each of her four outings and finished second when making her first appearance for the Ollie Sangster stable at Ayr. She can get involved again, but it may pay to side with SECRET SONATA. Andrew Balding's filly progressed from her introduction to occupy the runner-up berth at Carlisle last month and the extra furlong could bring about the improvement required. Empire Power completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Secret Sonata 2nd Sapphire Princess 3rd Empire Power

Saisons D'Or returned to winning ways at Catterick and should go well off a 3lb higher rating for the in-form Jedd O'Keeffe stable. However, THORNTONLEDALE MAX produced a better effort when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield last week and goes off the same mark. As long as the four-year-old can back that performance up, he will prove hard to beat. Outrun The Storm heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Thorntonledale Max 2nd Saisons DOr 3rd Outrun The Storm

After successes at Wolverhampton and Kempton, Popeye Doyle has proven to be versatile regarding the surface and course orientation. Quite whether he can cope with another 6lb rise is the big question on his first visit to Southwell. With that in mind, it can pay to go with TIEMPO ALEGRE, who registered a comfortable C&D triumph before almost repeating the feat 10 days ago. Due a 2lb rise, this is a good time to catch Jack Jones' filly. Pearly Squirrel and Antiquity complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Tiempo Alegre 2nd Popeye Doyle 3rd Pearly Squirrel

Ribston Pippin was the top-rated horse in the classified stakes he won at Yarmouth last month and reverts to handicapping on a feasible enough mark to be a key player. Nevertheless, it's worth considering that he was getting 7lb from BEAUTIFUL DAWN, who was a close third in that race. Armed with a 5lb pull, James Owen's filly can turn the form around. Coloane, Elvetham and Tootsie are others to consider in a competitive race for the grade.
Prediction : 1st Beautiful Dawn 2nd Ribston Pippin 3rd Coloane
