UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Dreamlover and Hoosier make more than enough appeal on paper to warrant market checks ahead of their debuts, but this should be a good opportunity for LAURALYNN. Declan Carroll's filly finished third at Beverley on her first start before going one place better at the Westwood venue next time, and any further progress might suffice. Claret And Blues is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Lauralynn 2nd Dreamlover 3rd Hoosier

Hold-up performer ROARING RALPH shouldn't be inconvenienced by a wide berth and looks worth sticking with following a hat-trick of C&D wins. The latest was his most impressive and although a 9lb rise will ask sterner questions of him, he remains competitively treated. Avatar Jet was also successful over track and trip latest so must be respected and don't rule out the unexposed Holly Mist, who has posted a couple of positive efforts since entering handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Roaring Ralph 2nd Avatar Jet 3rd Holly Mist

STELLA LUCENTE has filled the runner-up spot on each of her three starts so far and glory could now await the Earthlight filly on this handicap bow. Cosmic Man might fare better than he did on his seasonal return at Beverley last month, and Popty Ping should be happier back on an artificial surface. C&D winner Sporting Light is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Stella Lucente 2nd Cosmic Man 3rd Popty Ping

A narrow winner over C&D last month, Fort Augustus has to be respected off just 2lb higher on this occasion. That said, marginal preference is for MEGAPHONE, who may improve now stepped up to 7f and his last couple of efforts suggest that he can be successful off this mark. Starshot and the returning Reputation are others who make the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Megaphone 2nd Fort Augustus 3rd Starshot

SHADES OF MAY arrives here having won three of his last four starts and that includes a C&D success last time. That form was boosted when the second won last week and Mark Usher's in-form gelding merits plenty of respect off just 3lb higher. Autumn Angel is likely to be in the mix once again, while On Key and Tickets are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Shades Of May 2nd Autumn Angel 3rd On Key

Jumeirah Sands and Bintaryana both made a winning return to the track last month and are likely to have a big say in the outcome of this, but ENCHANT gets the nod. Karl Burke's filly fetched 300,000 pounds as a two-year-old and wasted no time in breaking her maiden with a half-length success at Pontefract last June. She is James Doyle's only ride on the card so another bold bid is anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Enchant 2nd Jumeirah Sands 3rd Bintaryana

HICKTON put a couple of lacklustre efforts behind him to score over 1m6f here recently. The son of Kodiac is evidently much happier on an artificial surface than he is on turf and he could be difficult to overhaul if coping with this step up in trip. There is no doubting Charlie Darling's stamina, although he must shoulder a 5lb penalty for a narrow C&D triumph. Captain Robert is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hickton 2nd Charlie Darling 3rd Captain Robert
