UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

COSMIC MYSTERY was highly tried and well beaten in a Listed contest at Sandown earlier in the month, but this is a much easier assignment and he sets the standard with an official rating of 79. Delighfully Hot only found one too good at Sandown two starts ago and is a big player based on that evidence, while Kokumi may have more to offer on just her third outing and is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Cosmic Mystery 2nd Delighfully Hot 3rd Kokumi

SOUND GLORIA had Lednikov (third) just under a length behind when beaten by the same margin into second at Doncaster last time and is expected to confirm that form. Roger Varian's filly is unexposed over this distance and could take a step forward to make it two wins from her last three starts. Be Hopeful has shown little in his three appearances so far, but might prove a different proposition now tackling handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Sound Gloria 2nd Lednikov 3rd Be Hopeful

Everyoneknowsadave won over 1m2f at Nottingham last month and is a dual course winner to take seriously, but the vote goes to PACE ATTACK. The son of Australia was far from disgraced in fourth at Wolverhampton on his return from a break earlier this month and is likely to have more to come on just his second handicap appearance. Faeberon is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Pace Attack 2nd Everyoneknowsadave 3rd Faeberon

IZZARI gets just a tentative vote in a trappy handicap for punters to solve. He left a moderate Newcastle performance behind when claiming second at Carlisle latest and, if building on that effort, he should be in the thick of things. Aim For The Bull has been in good form on the turf and is a previous course scorer, so is noted along with Volto Di Medusa.
Prediction : 1st Izzari 2nd Aim For The Bull 3rd Volto Di Medusa

VEGA STORM took a step in the right direction when finishing third at Ayr latest and, on that form, he's a big player in a race of this nature. Dacres Cross couldn't justify favouritism at Catterick but wasn't disgraced in fifth and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if he went well here, while Filly Eilish is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Vega Storm 2nd Dacres Cross 3rd Filly Eilish

ROI DE COEUR represents an in-form stable and he can be forgiven a lacklustre Kempton effort judged on the strength of his previous form there and at Yarmouth. He's taken to go very close despite the burden of top-weight and might have too much for Kiani King, who improved to take third here last month. Alkumatic Jo Jo is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Roi De Coeur 2nd Kiani King 3rd Alkumatic Jo Jo

Classy Clarets failed to complete the five-timer when second at Catterick last time, but that was still a creditable effort and he is likely to be thereabouts. Sole Spirit was victorious at Newcastle when last seen and is noted on his return, but THUNDEROUS LOVE gets the nod. Jonathan Portman's mare was beaten a neck into second over this distance at Nottingham and this looks a good opportunity to record a second C&D success.
Prediction : 1st Thunderous Love 2nd Classy Clarets 3rd Sole Spirit

GOLDEN HARVEST hit the line well when finishing third over 5f here on his latest outing and was kindly dropped 1lb for that display. The extra furlong should play to his strengths and he could have more to offer on just his second outing in handicap company. Surgeon Commander struck by a neck over 7f at Newcastle in June and the booking of Billy Loughnane suggests another big run is in the offing. Yes Waliim isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Golden Harvest 2nd Surgeon Commander 3rd Yes Waliim
