UK Horse Racing Tips: Southwell

Adrian McGuinness' trip across the Irish Sea with DISTILLATE proved a fruitful one and the pair are back for more just four days on. A cosy winner over C&D, this is her level and provided she's in the same form, a 5lb penalty is unlikely to be a barrier to further success. Brighton scorer Burford Beauty could have a bit more to offer for her new handler, while the admirably consistent Rosemary's Rose is expected to make her presence felt again.
Prediction : 1st Distillate 2nd Burford Beauty 3rd Rosemarys Rose

LANCASTER TOWER took a step in the right direction when filling the runner-up spot at Kempton last time and is the most likely winner, even more so if able to run to anywhere near his official rating of 85. Five Years and National Pride are entitled to be in the thick of things based on recent efforts, while Al Sham also makes some appeal having shaped with promise on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Lancaster Tower 2nd Five Years 3rd National Pride

Things have really clicked into gear for GO LOCKERS GO, who receives a confident vote against some largely out-of-form rivals. Michael Bell's gelding was victorious at Wolverhampton before following up over C&D and he could still be ahead of the handicapper off only 1lb higher. Dual track-and-trip winner Albert Cee arrives fresh after finishing well beaten at Yarmouth back in June. He'll be a threat if fully tuned up, and so might Massimo Blue with Billy Loughnane back aboard.
Prediction : 1st Go Lockers Go 2nd Albert Cee 3rd Massimo Blue

LADY HENSHAW pulled readily clear of a subsequent winner when landing a novice race over C&D last month. Patrick Owens' filly could prove better than her opening mark now handicapping and is taken to edge an open affair. Newcastle maiden winner Bahia Bonita also debuts in a nursery with solid claims, while Grey Tamam was narrowly beaten at Kempton last month and could finish thereabouts. Valdoro and Casino Star are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lady Henshaw 2nd Bahia Bonita 3rd Grey Tamam

ELITE APPROACH caught the eye staying on strongly for fourth over 7f here on his first start in a handicap. The son of Havana Gold looks worth another chance over this extra furlong with Taryn Langley taking 5lb off his back. Bearish landed a tougher contest at Ayr during the summer and has been gelded since. He debuts on the all-weather with Billy Loughnane in the plate, while Breakdancer and the unexposed Moonlight Warrior also warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Elite Approach 2nd Bearish 3rd Breakdancer

A resolute third over C&D last month, BALLYBUNION can be marked up for that effort given the winner has won again since. Michael Bell's inmate started the year on a 9lb higher mark and could be set to open his account. Yazoo arrives in fine fettle and has a shout back on the Tapeta, while both Buckland Belle and Starakova could pose a threat if back on song.
Prediction : 1st Ballybunion 2nd Yazoo 3rd Buckland Belle

I'M THE ONE was talked of as a potential Oaks candidate after an impressive debut success at Newbury before chasing home Amelia Earhart when not appearing to be completely in love with Chester. The daughter of Sea The Stars needed some time to recover after that effort and has been found a nice opportunity to gain a confidence booster before potentially tackling bigger targets next season. Joulany has become frustrating to follow after some of his initial form which included a third to Maltese Cross at Newbury, although the reapplication of a hood might see him in a better light. Amazonica and Flagbearer appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Im The One 2nd Joulany 3rd Amazonica

SPEC OF LIGHT tends to save his best for this track and recorded a second career victory here earlier this month. The four-year-old is fancied to repeat the dose in what looks to be a more than winnable contest on paper. We've Got This shaped as though an extra furlong would be worth a try when runner-up at Newcastle, while others to consider include Someone's Wish and The Pug.
Prediction : 1st Spec Of Light 2nd Weve Got This 3rd Someones Wish
