UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

UNTIL DAWN was described as unsteerable after finishing last at Wolverhampton but if she keeps a straighter course, she has every chance. She has won twice over this trip, at Newcastle and here, and placed off her current mark so if she behaves herself, she has every chance. Ziggy's Triton is one to consider on his C&D second and although not at that level in two races since, he is hard to overlook. Toolatetonegotiate also has claims, but may need to come down the handicap to win again.
Prediction : 1st Until Dawn 2nd Ziggys Triton 3rd Toolatetonegotiate

My Dad Tom showed plenty of improvement to come home a three-quarter-length second at Yarmouth and with just 1lb more now, he has to come into calculations. Empress Olivia has a win to her name over shorter at Ripon in August and she could sneak into a place, but THANOS gets the vote. Repeatedly denied a clear run when runner-up as favourite at Newcastle, he might repay his followers here off bottom weight.
Prediction : 1st Thanos 2nd My Dad Tom 3rd Empress Olivia

Zoustellar is bred for this trip as a daughter of Zoustar and although inexperienced, she is well worth a market watch for any signs of confidence. Diamond Aura showed some promise when third on her only start, but she was beaten close to seven lengths here and will need a step forward to get the better of LOLABELLA. Fourth at Leicester after weakening late on, if she improves for the race as hoped then she could score at the second attempt.
Prediction : 1st Lolabella 2nd Zoustellar 3rd Diamond Aura

This trip might be inadequate for SOUL LOVE in time given what her half-brother Excellent Believe has achieved so far, but the daughter of Starman shouldn't lack for speed and could provide Karl Burke with yet another juvenile winner. Neither Mooj or Bami were particularly well fancied ahead of their respective debuts, but both shaped with promise and may go close with natural improvement. Market support for Allegrino would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Soul Love 2nd Mooj 3rd Bami

Hostility has run with credit on all three of his starts for David O'Meara but he lacked an extra gear over 6f at Wolverhampton last week and might be vulnerable to YOUR LOVE, who is in receipt of 5lb. Jack Callan aids her cause further with his handy claim and recent signs would suggest a maiden triumph isn't far away. Zed Candy Boy completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Your Love 2nd Hostility 3rd Zed Candy Boy

NOEL FOX disappointed as favourite here when stepped up to 7f last time. However, Jennie Candlish's filly is much better judged on her C&D third the time before and she has every chance of getting back to winning ways. Star Zia returns to the all-weather with solid credentials on her first start for James Tate, while Mae Amor is respected off 4lb higher than her surprise Wolverhampton victory.
Prediction : 1st Noel Fox 2nd Star Zia 3rd Mae Amor

RELOCAL took a big step forward when runner-up at Newcastle and Roger Varian's gelding, who looked to stay the trip particularly well on that occasion, has a fine opportunity to strike off a 2lb higher mark. Everyoneknowsadave is a mostly consistent type who is expected to be competitive once again. Handicap debutant Shumus has to enter calculations, despite the trip being a slight concern.
Prediction : 1st Relocal 2nd Everyoneknowsadave 3rd Shumus

Man Of Riddles would have a chance if he can get back to his best, but his last win was in January 2024 and this looks a big ask at the age of seven. Yurinov tries to get off the mark at the 22nd attempt following a staying-on second over 1m6f here and he may place, but T OR COFFEY could be the one. A winner over hurdles in July and a head second over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton last month, he is an in-form option.
Prediction : 1st T Or Coffey 2nd Yurinov 3rd Man Of Riddles

THANKS DAD stayed on strongly to win over C&D in late September and although he has gone up 5lb, he stays further and could have the race run to suit. Vince Lombardi also scored last time out and an extra 3lb may not be enough to stop him mounting a serious challenge, although Raft Up looks a bigger threat after being touched off on his last two starts.
Prediction : 1st Thanks Dad 2nd Raft Up 3rd Vince Lombardi
