UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Runner-up on two of her last three starts, HAVIN A FLYER brings the best recent form to the table, and this could be an ideal opportunity to break the maiden tag. Double Naughty showed plenty of pace over 6f at Thirsk last time out but could be better suited by the minimum trip, while dual turf winner Rajak is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Havin A Flyer 2nd Double Naughty 3rd Rajak

SIOUXPERSONIC was far from disgraced in a valuable nursery at Doncaster last time out, and Edward Bethell's filly is expected to build on that performance now dropped into a maiden for the first time. Absent since finishing second over C&D in April, Naana's Shadow looks a key player. Echoofmymind and Sinj are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Siouxpersonic 2nd Naanas Shadow 3rd Sinj

AAJEJ displayed improvement from first start to second. A creditable third over 1m3f here earlier this month, returning to further ought to be of benefit and he is expected to find the necessary progress. Shumus has been placed on both of her racecourse appearances and the daughter of Sea The Stars could be the main danger. Market support for German import Abando would be noteworthy given that he's been highly tried in his career so far.
Prediction : 1st Aajej 2nd Shumus 3rd Abando

SPIRIT LEAD ME was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark in fine style at Kempton on Wednesday, when tried in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Donagh Murphy negates the penalty incurred for that success with his 7lb claim and Richard Hughes' gelding looks the obvious choice provided this doesn't come too soon. Fellow last-time-out Kempton scorer Havana Touch looks a real danger though, while Emerald Army and Claxton Bay appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Lead Me 2nd Havana Touch 3rd Emerald Army

ONE MORE DREAM recorded his 10th all-weather success in comfortable fashion at Wolverhampton recently and given that he remains well handicapped from 6lb higher, another bold bid looks likely. Noel Fox hasn't won for a while but he's 2lb below his last winning mark as a result and must enter calculations. Zabeel Road, a winner over this trip at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, was stretched by 7f here last time and may do better back at this distance.
Prediction : 1st One More Dream 2nd Noel Fox 3rd Zabeel Road

Smooth Silesie is a likely pace angle but all of her winning form has been posted over the minimum trip and she could be vulnerable to a closer. Previous C&D winner HIERARCHY fits that very profile and he gets the nod from just 1lb above his last winning mark. Well berthed in stall three, the relatively unexposed Kiniro could have a big say, while it would be dangerous to underestimate Jesse Luc.
Prediction : 1st Hierarchy 2nd Smooth Silesie 3rd Kiniro

A winner at Newcastle on his penultimate start, Zuffolo is 5lb higher now but looks to be in with a shout back on the all-weather. Birkenhead has winning form at the track and is on a competitive mark, but IRISH DANCER makes the most appeal. Declan Carroll's charge has won a couple of times over C&D already this year and, after a good effort at Redcar last time, he could take all the beating.
Prediction : 1st Irish Dancer 2nd Zuffolo 3rd Birkenhead

TAZAMAN missed out on a hat-trick when second in a higher grade contest at Newbury. He looks capable of winning off his current mark back at this level and is taken to edge out Division Day. He remains unexposed after scoring at Redcar on his first start over 1m6f and warrants plenty of respect, while Kempton winner Appleblossomwhite and Buxted Reel are not without a shout either.
Prediction : 1st Tazaman 2nd Division Day 3rd Appleblossomwhite

The Bay Warrior remains in fine form and won at Lingfield a fortnight ago. However, KINTBURY finished less than a length behind in third on her handicap debut that day and first start since March. That outing should have blown any cobwebs away and Andrew Balding's filly could prove better than her current mark. Always A Star placed in a tougher contest here last month and is noted along with Helmsley.
Prediction : 1st Kintbury 2nd The Bay Warrior 3rd Always A Star
