UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

After a successful switch to handicap company at Wolverhampton, GALILEO CHARM has plenty to offer and a 3lb rise may not prevent the Marco Botti-trained filly from following up. Pickersgill outran expectations to finish second at the same venue most recently and she would be dangerous to underestimate. Jamie Sommers is a pace angle to the race and support in the betting would be noteworthy now she has a recent run under her belt.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Charm 2nd Pickersgill 3rd Jamie Sommers

Brazilian Belle scored cosily over C&D on her penultimate start and was game when following up at Wolverhampton last month. However, BINADHAM was only half a length away in third on the latter occasion and armed with a 2lb pull, he can reverse the form if the first-time cheekpieces draw a little extra. Blue Lakota is another previous course winner that can go close, while Smooth Silesie and the returning Tees Aggregates shouldn't be taken lightly.
Prediction : 1st Binadham 2nd Brazilian Belle 3rd Blue Lakota

Ollie Sangster's yard are in decent form at present and DEPORTED appeals as another stable contender to seriously consider. Although he was turned over as the 8/11 favourite on his most recent appearance, it's worth considering that the winner of that race is an unbeaten outsider for the 1000 Guineas, while the runner-up came out and won his next two starts. Based on potential, the son of Territories shades preference over last-time-out winners Captain Fox, Sovereign View and Gatehouse. The latter could be the biggest danger on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Deported 2nd Gatehouse 3rd Captain Fox

REAL JACK took a big step forward when filling the runner-up spot over 5f at Newcastle when last seen in November, but he ought to be even better over this extra furlong. An opening mark of 70 looks fair and he's preferred to Fanjove, whose keenness has been his achilles heel so far, so it is no great surprise that connections have gelded him over the winter. Faithful Dream has the box seat breaking from stall one and is another that should be heavily involved.
Prediction : 1st Real Jack 2nd Fanjove 3rd Faithful Dream

Lexington Jet arrives in excellent form and must be respected, but all of his wins have come at Chelmsford so far and he will need to find another career best from stall 12. Doncaster winner Rising Force might have the better chance under a 5lb penalty but even so, TONAL gets the vote. The Siyouni gelding continue on his upward trajectory by defeating a well-fancied stable companion last time and a 6lb rise may well underestimate him.
Prediction : 1st Tonal 2nd Rising Force 3rd Lexington Jet

Newcastle victor Clansman and Analogical can both go forward and look to dominate, which could afford Jedd O'Keeffe's TROJAN SOLDIER the perfect trip. Beaten a neck over C&D before finding one too strong again over the extended 2m next time, the addition of first-time cheekpieces might give him that bit extra that is required. Although Atheneum was well beaten on his stable bow, he did show plenty in a couple of handicaps at Killarney and should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Trojan Soldier 2nd Clansman 3rd Analogical

GESAYED made a winning start to her career at Hamilton in June and in what doesn't appear to be a deep contest, Karl Burke's filly looks to have been found another fine opportunity. Merry ran with promise to finish third at Kempton in December and she is likely to be competitive once again, while Korbut might leave behind her debut effort at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Gesayed 2nd Merry 3rd Korbut

RAFT UP has been running with plenty of credit on his most recent starts at Newcastle and the step up to 7f might yield further improvement from Harriet Bethell's gelding. Camera Shy won over C&D on his penultimate start and it wouldn't be a surprise if he bounced back from his latest effort. Others for the shortlist include Reginald Charles and King David.
Prediction : 1st Raft Up 2nd Camera Shy 3rd Reginald Charles
