UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Simiyann has the stamina needed to win this having come home in front three times over two miles or more, with one of those off his current rating, but he may have to give way to KINGDOM OF STARS on this occasion. A Kempton winner in July, he was last seen finishing third at the same track and drops to this class for the first time since May. New York Minute is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kingdom Of Stars 2nd Simiyann 3rd New York Minute

Grimese's Special kept on to spring a 66/1 shock over 7f on her second start, but she needs to prove that wasn't a fluke. Blooming Legend won over this trip at Lingfield before a third on heavy at Salisbury and could go well, but PREVIOUS deserves another chance. Successful at Newcastle on debut, she was then put in her place by Allegresse at Kempton but time may tell that performance was better than it appeared at first glance.
Prediction : 1st Previous 2nd Blooming Legend 3rd Grimeses Special

Valkyrie Storm pulled too hard for her own good before finishing third at Chepstow and is a player if she learns to settle, but preference is for ATTENTION SEEKER. A hood was added after the Harry Eustace-trained juvenile's Kempton debut and it resulted in a much-improved second at Brighton, where he still looked as if he would learn more from the experience. Newcomer Turku is one to watch, with Thirsk third Magical Merlot another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Attention Seeker 2nd Valkyrie Storm 3rd Turku

More was expected of Mr Nippy when only managing eighth at Chelmsford and there will be plenty who give him another chance on just his third start. However, WINDING STREAM is a half-brother to Spycraft, who struck on the all-weather as a juvenile. If the market vibes are strong, Richard Hughes' newcomer might prove hard to beat. Bear Steps would have learned a lot from her seventh at Lingfield and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Winding Stream 2nd Mr Nippy 3rd Bear Steps

ZABEEL ALKABEIR created a good impression when making a winning debut at Lingfield before being well beaten in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster. James Tate's colt takes a sizeable drop in grade and looks the one to beat. Shamacid finished a place in front of Proud To Be Fox when third over 6f at Wolverhampton and can confirm that form to have a say. El Pinto is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zabeel Alkabeir 2nd Shamacid 3rd El Pinto

SPECIAL GHAIYYATH and Bernalda are both seeking hat-tricks, but preference is afforded to the former after his triumph at Haydock last month. The son of Ghaiyyath was making his handicap/stable debut that day and despite a 3lb rise it would come as no great surprise were he to find further progress. Stablemate Bin Ajwad was raised 6lb having won over C&D last month but remains of considerable interest.
Prediction : 1st Special Ghaiyyath 2nd Bernalda 3rd Bin Ajwad

ANCIENT TIMES has won a couple of sprints on the turf already this year and he ran with credit to finish third over the minimum trip here latest . That was his first start since June, so the son of Exceed And Excel is expected to go close from an unchanged mark. True Promise is 4lb lower than when winning over C&D last October and cannot be ruled out, while Dark Side Thunder could also be involved.
Prediction : 1st Ancient Times 2nd True Promise 3rd Dark Side Thunder

DESERT MASTER has posted a couple of positive efforts at Newcastle of late and that augurs well for his chances. The son of Blue Point struck from a 7lb higher mark over C&D at the start of the year and it could be his turn again. Marcus has yet to win but recent placed efforts on the turf suggest he can make his presence felt, while Red Walls and Arlington ought to have a fighting chance too.
Prediction : 1st Desert Master 2nd Marcus 3rd Red Walls

NIGHT TARA has remained in excellent form since winning on her handicap bow at Chelmsford in August. The extended 2m trip stretched her stamina here latest, but this shorter distance shouldn't be an issue, and Sir Mark Prescott's filly should mount a bold bid from an unchanged mark. The consistent Spring Chorus is likely be thereabouts once again, and although Mission Possible disappointed on her handicap bow it is too soon to write her off.
Prediction : 1st Night Tara 2nd Spring Chorus 3rd Mission Possible
