Horse racing tips: This 6/1 punt could land on Tuesday at Southwell

* All prices are bang up to date with our snazzy widget, while odds in copy are accurate at time of publishing but subject to change.

15:55 – Tukhoom

Quite a few of these have nothing to prove on the surface but don’t look particularly well handicapped at present. Native Silver and Love Your Work could go well, but preference is for TUKHOOM who has become well treated and ran well in his only previous visit here.

16:30 – Fortultous

This essentially comes down to whether to go with recent easy C&D winner Exotic Escape at a short price under a penalty, or take her on. Last Sunday’s massive improvement came on her Fibresand debut in a first-time eyeshield and she’ll be hard to beat if repeating the dose, but the strong-travelling FORTULTOUS, who’s 4lb better off with Grimsthorpe Castle than when edging him out over C&D last month, was unlucky to be brought down on his latest outing and remains open to further improvement.

17:00 – Restricted Area

A few of these come into the race in good nick, including C&D winner Swinton Noon, but he may struggle to confirm form with third-placed RESTRICTED AREA on 6lb worse terms, especially as Jamie Osborne’s colt is much less exposed than his old rival. There is a good chance that Desert Boots will take to the surface, while Cholmondeley is entitled to respect on account of her stable’s good record here.

17:30 – A Pint Of Bear

The two previous winners clearly hold strong claims but, although Black Sparrow is favoured by the weights, A PINT OF BEAR has already proven his effectiveness under these conditions with his C&D success in October. That could prove crucial. Needwood Blossom is a half-sister to a multiple course winner and looks the pick of the others.

18:00 – Kumasi

Only the exposed Little Downs has run here before. Reaction Time’s pedigree suggests he’ll be fine with the surface if ready to go after more than a year off, but KUMASI, who started among the favourites for his new yard back from a lengthy absence early in the month, gets the nod.

18:30 – Giogiobbo

Michael Appleby, who’s won the last two runnings of this and was also successful in 2013, is double-handed and his ex-Irish King Of Stars, who’s taken well to the surface lately, holds decent claims. Scott Dixon also has a good race record, though, and his GIOGIOBBO, who’s well in off the same mark as when a clear second over C&D last Sunday, is the one to beat.

19:00 – Hotalena

Both previous runnings have gone to a 2yo, slightly against the odds last year and well against them in 2018, and with half the field rated in the mid 40s or lower this becomes easy enough to narrow down. Recent course winners Gossip and Magnificia look the pick of the older runners, but the consistent HOTALENA (nap), whose sire is 6-15 with Southwell runners and whose dam won here for David Evans, gets the nod.
