UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Both Lightning Flash and JET PATROL are able to compete from an unchanged mark having each struck over hurdles on their latest outing. Dropped in trip ahead of his chasing debut the former merits respect, but the latter can come out on top. James Owen's charge won comfortably over today's trip at Plumpton on only his third start for the yard and reverts to fences with solid claims. Getaway Jewel heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jet Patrol 2nd Lightning Flash 3rd Clean Getaway

Shantou Lucky only joined James Owen's team last month, but it didn't take him long to notch up a four-timer. The eight-year-old was hit with a 10lb rise having won in emphatic fashion at Newton Abbot latest and although another bold bid looks assured, FINN LOUGH gets the nod. The son of Milan hit the woodwork in a competitive handicap at Aintree when last seen in May so is expected to go very close from an unchanged mark. Tiger Orchid could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Finn Lough 2nd Shantou Lucky 3rd Tiger Orchid

A wind operation appears to have worked the oracle for HEAVEN SMART. He recorded a cosy success at Perth last week and while Brian Hughes keeps the winning partnership intact, a 7lb penalty might not stop him from going in again. Cawthorne Cracker was beaten a neck at Uttoxeter last time and steps up in trip with a chance, while Atreides, who returned to form at Fontwell last month, should be on the premises too.
Prediction : 1st Heaven Smart 2nd Atreides 3rd Cawthorne Cracker

Although pulled up over fences when last seen in May, switching to hurdles on the back of an absence could benefit YES INDEED. Martin Keighley's charge is 8lb lower in this sphere and looks particularly well handicapped judged on previously exploits, while the booking of Sean Bowen could be noteworthy. Bluegrass drops is class so must enter calculations, with Nowmelad suggested as the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Yes Indeed 2nd Bluegrass 3rd Nowmelad

Not a tall order set by those with experience, so it might pay to side with MASKED MAN. An emphatic winner of a point-to-point at Stowlin in May, the son of Masked Marvel is related to three separate winners and wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to make a successful debut. Queensland Boy stayed well on the Flat and could have something to offer in this sphere, while wind surgery could spark an improved performance from At Mangan Bridge.
Prediction : 1st Masked Man 2nd Queensland Boy 3rd At Mangan Bridge

AN BRADAN FEASA dug deep to score under champion jockey Sean Bowen at Worcester last month. A 5lb rise looks fair and, provided his stamina holds out over this longer trip, the Camelot gelding could go in again. Belvedere Blast and Heather Honey, who completed her hat-trick at Bangor latest, can make things difficult for the selection for all that an ease in distance might not be ideal.
Prediction : 1st An Bradan Feasa 2nd Belvedere Blast 3rd Heather Honey

SHIBUYA SONG largely struggled after winning at Worcester last September, but she's now 2lb lower than for that success and could make a belated return to form. Veteran Stripe Of Honour has won when fresh previously so he could pose a threat to the selection, despite being 1lb out of the handicap. Matoury and Jager Time have few miles on the clock and are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Shibuya Song 2nd Stripe Of Honour 3rd Matoury
