UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Fools Rush In built on his Wolverhampton second to score over C&D earlier in the month and is noted, while Golden Strike did well to win at Newcastle and is another to watch out for. However, KING OF YORK is a four-time track and trip scorer who has occupied the runner-up berth in each of his last three outings at this course. Off a workable rating, the seven-year-old can get his head back in front.
Prediction : 1st King Of York 2nd Fools Rush In 3rd Golden Strike

Dream Illusion comfortably backed up her Newcastle triumph when going in over a mile here recently and she holds an obvious chance. However, the value may lie with MY MATE MIKE, who produced an improved performance to regain the winning thread over C&D on his most recent start and could go in again. No Knee Never isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st My Mate Mike 2nd Dream Illusion 3rd No Knee Never

With the James Fanshawe yard going great guns at present and another positive being the booking of Oisin Murphy, it might be wise to side with WONDER. Runner-up in this grade at Lingfield on his latest outing, the five-year-old looks well placed to go one better. Something took the silver medal home at Kempton at the start of the month and has to be respected along with course winner Motazzen.
Prediction : 1st Wonder 2nd Something 3rd Motazzen

I NEED YOUR LOVE may not need to improve too much on his latest neck second at Newcastle in order to win a race like this. Recent form on the all-weather has been encouraging and he gets the nod ahead of Cargin Bhui, who gained the success his recent form deserved at Wolverhampton. It's also worth keeping an eye on Dc Cogent.
Prediction : 1st I Need Your Love 2nd Cargin Bhui 3rd Dc Cogent

A tricky handicap for punters to solve and it might be worth sticking with VANTHEMAN, who is clearly on good terms with himself judged on a gutsy Newcastle success. Intervention boasts winning C&D form and cannot be overlooked, while Aberama Gold has a similar profile and performed well for third last time out at Chelmsford over this trip. Keep an eye on Monks Dream too.
Prediction : 1st Vantheman 2nd Intervention 3rd Aberama Gold

MIDNIGHT LION lines up here in search of a hat-trick following taking wins at Newcastle and, assuming he'll transfer that good form to this venue, Jim Goldie's charge might take a bit of beating. Zryan is another in-form horse to consider and he's gone well at this track before, while Dingle won at Newcastle last month and must also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Lion 2nd Zryan 3rd Dingle

Constitution Hill might get the confidence booster he needs if adapting to the starting procedure and surface, while matching anything like his cruising speed of old. However, a draw in stall 12 poses one question too many for an assured play over this trip and he could be worth taking on. The lightly-raced SQUARE NECKER is a less speculative option after he started to fulfill his potential with a ready win over 1m4f at Dundalk just before Christmas. Daddy Long Legs and Gambino are others with Flat experience to monitor in the betting, while Tripoli Flyer's past bumper form also reads well.
Prediction : 1st Square Necker 2nd Constitution Hill 3rd Daddy Long Legs

A competitive field amasses but with only a few noted for being on the front end, this could get messy in the closing stages. However, in handicapping terms, JUAN LES PINS is very tempting after hinting at a revival of late. Set to run from 15lb below his last winning mark, the Mick Appleby-trained veteran looks worth another chance. Almaty Star, Nogo's Dream and the talented but luckless El Bufalo are others capable of being on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Juan Les Pins 2nd Almaty Star 3rd Nogos Dream

The margins are likely to be tight but good cases can be stated for Down To The Kid and Eligible, who have been in fine form and are likely key players, despite both currently sitting on career-high marks. However, slender preference is for NORTH VIEW, who readily had Commander Of Life back in fourth when he won at Chelmsford. That is a key piece of form and is convincing enough to follow here.
Prediction : 1st North View 2nd Down To The Kid 3rd Eligible
