UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Nicator showed improvement for his debut sixth when runner-up over C&D last month and another step forward might see him mount a big challenge. Pulsar Star was gelded after his debut and improved dramatically when second at Leicester, but CERELIA is preferred. The William Haggas horses continue to run well and the daughter of Wootton Bassett finished a good second at Newcastle on debut, keeping on well over the 7f.
Prediction : 1st Cerelia 2nd Nicator 3rd Pulsar Star

ELIGIBLE has won here five times now with three of those over the seven furlongs and, although out of sorts when sixth at Chester in July, he is more than capable off his current mark as he returns to the all-weather. A Pint Of Bear won over C&D by two lengths off 6lb lower and cannot be comfortably dismissed, while I'm Workin On It is rarely far away and should go well.
Prediction : 1st Eligible 2nd A Pint Of Bear 3rd Im Workin On It

Lake Como has to give 4lb and upwards to his rivals after winning by three lengths at Newcastle over seven furlongs and, if he gets the mile, he will make a bold bid to follow up. RAGING RAJ is looking for his hat-trick after wins at Kempton over a mile and then here over 7f, and the small field should suit him, with Emma's Letter potentially booked for third.
Prediction : 1st Raging Raj 2nd Lake Como 3rd Emmas Letter

BOWFELL is going in the right direction having secured his first success with an emphatic victory at Newcastle on his reappearance. The son of Blue Point is taken to defy a penalty with Billy Loughnane keeping the winning partnership intact. All Moonshine placed at Newcastle on debut and will know more today. She has much more scope than Hostility, although the latter is still preferred to his new stablemate Thequietman.
Prediction : 1st Bowfell 2nd All Moonshine 3rd Hostility

TRUE PROMISE finished a close second when last seen over this C&D in October. Placed on both starts over 5f for his new yard subsequently, the son of Washington Dc looks worthy of another chance back at this venue. Hunky Dory also arrives on the back of a series of placed efforts and cannot be ruled out, while Em Four is no forlorn hope.
Prediction : 1st True Promise 2nd Hunky Dory 3rd Em Four

Sax Appeal remains 5lb higher than when successful at Kempton in September. He placed in a tougher contest here last time and is not out of this, but last year's winner DANCE TIME may edge it. She has won three times since that success and, having scored by five lengths at Wolverhampton as recently as last month, David Loughnane's mare gets the vote. Bashful Boy and Trojan Sun are others with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Dance Time 2nd Sax Appeal 3rd Bashful Boy

David O'Meara has his string in decent form and Ziggy's Triton won well over C&D last time out. Toolatetonegotiate sits lower in the handicap and won at Lingfield latest, but ALLIGATOR ALLEY seems the one to beat. Three wins at this level of late were followed by a Wolverhampton third in a class 2 and the return to this grade could prompt win number 13.
Prediction : 1st Alligator Alley 2nd Ziggys Triton 3rd Toolatetonegotiate

Stipulation drops to a class 6 event for the first time since September but he has never raced over this far and may have to settle for a top three finish. MR NUGGET frustrated his supporters with another place when beaten a nose at Wolverhampton, keeping on well over the extended 1m1f suggesting the step back up in trip would be ideal. Spec Of Light and King Chaos can battle it out for the minor money.
Prediction : 1st Mr Nugget 2nd Stipulation 3rd Spec Of Light
