UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Yoshimi showed more when finishing fourth at Leicester in August and could have a say off the same rating. However, CAPTAIN PARMA took a big leap forward after being gelded to fill the runner-up spot in this grade at Chelmsford earlier in the month and is just 2lb higher. The son of Iffraaj makes just his third start in a handicap and will prove tough to beat. Highland Olly is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Captain Parma 2nd Yoshimi 3rd Highland Olly

King's Trust took a step in the wrong direction when failing to justify favouritism and finishing third at Goodwood, but he has been gelded since and sports first-time blinkers. Even so, WE'RE GOOSERS looks the way to go. Hugo Palmer's juvenile was touched off into second on his introduction at Newmarket and would have learnt a great deal from that experience. With normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Any market confidence behind newcomer Extraterrestrial would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Were Goosers 2nd Extraterrestrial 3rd Kings Trust

Bushwacker brings plenty of experience to the table and if running to the level of his second at Carlisle two starts ago, he is likely to be on the premises. Rogue Citation showed ability when third at Carlisle on her first start and is noted, but STARLIT CITY gets the vote. Ollie Sangster's youngster ran green when making the frame on debut at Windsor in August and would have benefitted from that experience. This looks a winnable opportunity and he can take full advantage.
Prediction : 1st Starlit City 2nd Bushwacker 3rd Rogue Citation

The Oliver Cole stable can do little wrong at present and this represents an ideal opportunity for JAKARTA to regain the winning thread after narrowly missing out at Newmarket last month. A winner at Chelmsford when last seen in May, True Colors is of interest off a mark of 74 on her handicap debut, while Summer Heat should be suited by dropping back to 1m having shown plenty of pace over further last time.
Prediction : 1st Jakarta 2nd True Colors 3rd Summer Heat

Now that JAZZ SCENE has regained the winning thread after a determined performance here last month, the four-year-old is likely to have plenty more to come off 2lb higher, with Cieren Fallon a notable jockey booking. Runner-up over the same track and trip recently, after scoring at Redcar before that, Fire Eyes is likely to be thereabouts once again, while Wolverhampton winner Have You A Minute also holds claims cutting back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Jazz Scene 2nd Fire Eyes 3rd Have You A Minute

ATOMIC MASS bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort here last month and, providing he's not too keen, the son of Havana Gold can strike off 2lb higher. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for Naval Ensign after a creditable second over 7f at Yarmouth last month, while Addarella is another to note on the drop in class after being in the first three at this venue the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Atomic Mass 2nd Naval Ensign 3rd Addarella

Lahire hasn't shown a great deal in his three maiden/novice starts on the Flat but could prove a different proposition now tackling the handicap ranks. However, BELAYA RIVER has finished in the frame in each of his last three outings, most recently dead-heating for second in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over track and trip last month. If the three-year-old is in similar form, he could prove hard to beat. Inlet isn't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Belaya River 2nd Lahire 3rd Inlet

Hickton just prevailed by a neck at Hamilton on his most recent start and if transferring that form to the all-weather, he ought to go close. However, WEEGEEBEAR accounted for Heartened (third) when springing a 25/1 surprise at Newcastle last month and the son of Kodi Bear can prove that was no fluke by following up. Aoife's Thunder is a player based on her second in a classified stakes at Chelmsford two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Weegeebear 2nd Hickton 3rd Aoifes Thunder
