UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

ARLO'S GIRL showed professionalism beyond her experience when she comfortably made a winning debut at Lingfield last August. The form was boosted by the runner-up winning her next start and the potentially progressive daughter of Harry Angel appeals the most in this weaker-looking assignment. Von Trotter and the more exposed Filly Foden can play strong supporting roles. Blue Deveron has something to offer on paper and is an interesting newcomer to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Arlos Girl 2nd Von Trotter 3rd Filly Foden

The hat-trick seeking Tonal is consistent at this level but a 6lb rise for his latest Wolverhampton success means another personal best is required. On the other hand, HALE END has done well off higher ratings in the past and a 3lb rise for his C&D win in December is a tractable assessment. Frostmagic, who is versatile regarding distance, is another strong contender, while King Of York is a lightly-weighted C&D winner to also bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Hale End 2nd Tonal 3rd Frostmagic

BETTIES BAY showed she has the speed to stay out of trouble in dominant efforts to win her last two starts. With Mason Paetel's 5lb claim countering the penalty for her cosy win at Lingfield, the hat-trick looks within reach. With Profit Street drawn on her immediate right, and Clover Time noted in close proximity, this looks set to be truly-run affair. That could play to the strengths of fellow last-time out winner Good Earth, who appears to be the chief danger to the selection from a still competitive mark.
Prediction : 1st Betties Bay 2nd Good Earth 3rd Profit Street

A drop in distance proved no barrier to success for BRAZILIAN ROSE, who completed a double over 6f here recently. Rebecca Menzies' C&D winner ticks plenty of the right boxes and she's taken to defy a 5lb penalty. The lightly-raced Lodge is entitled to build on her fifth-placed reappearance at Wolverhampton and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of How Impressive.
Prediction : 1st Brazilian Rose 2nd Lodge 3rd How Impressive

Having recorded a brace of victories over C&D this month, Down To The Kid must enter calculations given his rejuvenation over the past year. However, a 4lb penalty and rise in class does demand another career-best performance from the veteran, with TALIS EVOLVERE slightly more compelling. Richard Hannon's inmate supplemented a triumph at this venue with a good second at Newcastle a fortnight ago and this ease in class may prove just the trick. Doctor Khan Junior and Legal Reform are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Talis Evolvere 2nd Down To The Kid 3rd Doctor Khan Junior

Many would argue MILITARY CROSS has had enough chances, and they're probably right. A beaten favourite on more than one occasion, he now goes up in trip on his handicap debut and connections reach for first-time cheekpieces, so it's worth going to the well one last time. Pleasant Man is the sole C&D winner in here and makes some each-way appeal, while Moon Sniper was only beaten a half-length into third here last time.
Prediction : 1st Military Cross 2nd Moon Sniper 3rd Pleasant Man

TIME TURNER gained the success his previous form deserved at Newcastle eight days ago and is open to more improvement over these type of trips. Providing the quick turnaround doesn't catch him out, Ed Bethell's four-year-old is taken to successfully shoulder a 5lb penalty. Course winner Naughty Niall won't go down without a fight and it's also worth keeping a close eye on Rogue Identity and Beachborough Girl.
Prediction : 1st Time Turner 2nd Naughty Niall 3rd Rogue Identity
