UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

ROARING RALPH gained compensation for two runner-up efforts at this venue when landing the spoils over C&D last time out. The six-year-old scored with enough in hand to suggest that a 3lb higher mark is surmountable and he edges the vote over Samra Star. Linda Perratt's mare has been nudged up just 2lb for her recent Wolverhampton victory and another bold bid is forecast. Asian Journey is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Roaring Ralph 2nd Samra Star 3rd Asian Journey

Eagles Whistle proved a different proposition when winning on all three outings for Daragh Bourke and she's not easily dismissed reverting to handicap company on her stable debut. However, an official rating of 61 demands a career best from the six-year-old, which may leave the door open for MARRY THE NIGHT. Tim Easterby's inmate arrives on the back of a respectable fifth in a class 5 and these calmer waters may prove fruitful. No Knee Never is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Marry The Night 2nd Eagles Whistle 3rd No Knee Never

With recent solid form thin on the ground, this could prove a suitable opportunity for SPIRIT OF BOWLAND to get back on the scoresheet. The veteran likely found a return to 7f on the sharp side when finishing fifth here recently and he makes plenty of appeal reverting to a mile. Consistency isn't Annalee Lass' forte, but she's capable at this level if things fall right. Peter Niven's mare is feared most, ahead of the reappearing Fifty Sent.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Bowland 2nd Annalee Lass 3rd Fifty Sent

It won't be long before HOMER STOKES wins a race of this nature if recent second-placed efforts both here and at Wolverhampton are anything to go by. Going up to 1m should help and the eight-year-old gets a confident vote. Dash Power had been in good form prior to a mediocre effort at Wolverhampton most recently and is noted along with Headshot.
Prediction : 1st Homer Stokes 2nd Dash Power 3rd Headshot

KARAKULA DANCER is really progressive and won smoothly at Kempton last time to make it two from three this year. He remains unexposed on all-weather and over this trip and another bold showing looks assured. Crimson Rambler might have to settle for another supporting role and similar sentiments apply to Lexington Express, who showed improved form at Wolverhampton to take third.
Prediction : 1st Karakula Dancer 2nd Crimson Rambler 3rd Lexington Express

A competitive sprint for punters to sort out and it might pay to side with FIVETHOUSANDTOONE, who looked back to something like his best when a close-up third at Newcastle last time. Spring Is Sprung won readily over track and trip and must be taken seriously, but a bigger danger is Azure Angel assuming she's ready to roll after a break.
Prediction : 1st Fivethousandtoone 2nd Azure Angel 3rd Spring Is Sprung

Having looked a smart prospect when making a winning debut at Newbury, THAT'S AMORE was far from disgraced when finishing fourth in last year's Cheshire Oaks. The four-year-old makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters and is taken to make a winning return, at the main expense of Jupiter Ammon. Andrew Balding's gelding has some respectable handicap form to his name and a current rating of 82 suggests he shouldn't be far away. Laravie is most compelling of the others.
Prediction : 1st Thats Amore 2nd Jupiter Ammon 3rd Laravie

Having scored with something in hand at Kempton last month, there could be more to come from CARAMAY. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks workable for the six-year-old and a ninth career victory might be on the horizon. Bint Al Daar appreciated a return to class 5 company when a close second at Chelmsford and she shouldn't be far away, along with Kate O'Riley.
Prediction : 1st Caramay 2nd Bint Al Daar 3rd Kate ORiley

Tarbat Ness continued his progression when securing a fifth career victory at Newcastle last month. The seven-year-old isn't easily dismissed in his current vein of form, but a 7lb higher mark does demand another career best. With that in mind, the down-in-grade HATYSA is slightly more appealing after hitting the frame in a class 3 at Newcastle recently. Appier and Barenboim are other live threats.
Prediction : 1st Hatysa 2nd Tarbat Ness 3rd Appier
