UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

YAKHABAR failed to supplement his course success when only finishing fourth here last time, but the step back up in trip might bring out the improvement required to bounce straight back. Prince Abu has been successful at this track three times before and has to be considered on his return to action. while Fiftyshadesaresdev sports first-time blinkers and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Yakhabar 2nd Prince Abu 3rd Fiftyshadesaresdev

ROMAN SECRET sprung a 22/1 surprise when given a canny ride to hold on by a short head over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and is out to prove that was no fluke. She remains unexposed over this distance and could go in again. The Bay Warrior showed more when third at the same venue on his most recent start and should remain competitive. C&D winner Arranmore can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Roman Secret 2nd The Bay Warrior 3rd Arranmore

Pure Moon failed to justify favouritism when hitting the woodwork over a furlong further here at the start of the month, but a slight concern is he hung at various stages in that contest. With that in mind, it might be best to side with TOO FARHH GONE. Warren Greatex's filly finished a respectable third at Wolverhampton in November and could improve for this step up in trip. Al Za'ama completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Too Farhh Gone 2nd Pure Moon 3rd Al Zaama

JIMMY SPEAKING made the perfect return to action when going in by just over a length in this grade at Doncaster and only has a 4lb higher rating to contend with. Considering the manner of that victory, he looks the one to beat. Commander Of Life finished a respectable fourth in a warmer event over a mile here two starts ago and would be foolish to dismiss. King Of Ithaca is next best.
Prediction : 1st Jimmy Speaking 2nd Commander Of Life 3rd King Of Ithaca

Station X placed yet again when third at Newcastle, having finished in front of Roberto Caro (fifth) when runner-up at this venue before that. The latter finished a close fourth at Ripon most recently, but STANLEY SPENCER is taken to edge a tight sprint. A dual winner here in the past, James Tate's charge is only 2lb higher than when last successful and his recent second over C&D suggests a return to winning ways is imminent.
Prediction : 1st Stanley Spencer 2nd Station X 3rd Roberto Caro

Initial Blue is likely to prove competitive back on the all-weather, while Eldeyaar popped up at a big price at Thirsk in a first-time visor and the headgear remains in place. STYLE KING posted a better effort when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. That form looks stronger in hindsight, given the winner has subsequently gone in again, and Chris Dwyer's son of Dandy Man could prove the one to side with.
Prediction : 1st Style King 2nd Initial Blue 3rd Eldeyaar

Marra Donna has been in the mix in all four starts so far this year and just failed to pick off the winner over 5f at Lingfield last month. However, TAAKLAM returned to the fray with a close third at Newcastle on his first start for Harriet Bethell. The son of Mehmas looks on a workable mark and, with a first-time hood promising to bring further improvement, he gets the nod. The Tunguska Event could prove the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Taaklam 2nd Marra Donna 3rd The Tunguska Event
