1	2 1st (2) (9/2 +50%) Alnilam		4.5 9/2(+50%)																															(2) Alnilam 9/2, A fair winner on the Flat who has improved for his current yard, hooded when an excellent second in 2m handicaps at Wetherby and Ascot in November. Since had a wind op. Considered. Just beaten in both starts after returning in November; has had a wind op; major player.
2	6 2nd (6) (3/1 -9%) Balhambar		3 3/1(-9%)																															(6) Balhambar 3/1, Fairly useful on the Flat for Michael Bell and much improved over hurdles since handicapping, winning at Ludlow and Bangor in April. Posted a very good third of 15 in 2m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham 47 days ago (form franked) so he's a player. Won twice in April and finished a fine third at Cheltenham last time; big run seems likely.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/2 +31%) Rock House		4.5 9/2(+31%)																															(7) Rock House 9/2, Took a step back in the right direction after 8 months off when third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy) 24 days ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark. Looked promising in 2023, but he hasn't built on it in the meantime; others more solid.
4	5 4th (5) (40/1 -122%) Luttrell Lad		40 40/1(-122%)																															(5) Luttrell Lad 40/1, Scored at Cartmel in July 2023. Some good efforts in defeat since but he has failed to beat a rival on his last two outings, off 5 months before last of 8 at Kempton 37 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Back off his last winning mark, but has failed to beat a rival in his last two starts.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -50%) Pretending		9 9/1(-50%)																															(8) Pretending 9/1, Resumed with a 2m4f win at Uttoxeter and not disgraced when eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Down in trip and one for the shortlist. Two wins in 2024 but last two efforts were disappointing; bit to prove dropping in trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 +36%) Afadil		4.5 9/2(+36%)																															(4) Afadil 9/2, Landed a Musselburgh handicap last February but yet to hit top form this term, fifth of 9 in 2m Ascot handicap last time. Needs to take a big step forward. 1lb below last winning mark but finished about 13l behind Alnilam at Ascot last time.
3	3 |PU| (3) (5/1 +23%) Norman Fletcher		5 5/1(+23%)																															(3) Norman Fletcher 5/1, Resumed winning ways at Huntingdon in November and backed it up with a good third of 8 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Has done well since going hurdling; third at Doncaster last month was another good effort.
1	1 |PU| (1) (12/1 +14%) Anyharminasking		12 12/1(+14%)																															(1) Anyharminasking 12/1, Useful hurdler who was a creditable third of 13 over 2½m at Cheltenham on his reappearance but has been below par at Newbury and back there since. More is needed. Still 3lb higher than when last successful at the start of 2022 and others are preferred.

15:24 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

MOTAZZEN successfully completed a double in a conditionals' handicap at Fontwell on Boxing Day and is able to compete off an unchanged rating. The seven-year-old can cope with this drop in trip in order to go in again. Soldier's Leap finished five lengths behind the selection when filling the runner-up spot last time and could prove to be the main threat again. Eric Carmen is another to watch out for.

After a run on the Flat, MOTAZZEN has shown improved form back over hurdles on his last 3 starts, sticking to his task well when making it back-to-back wins at Fontwell 6 days ago, so he looks to hold leading claims without a penalty for his recent success. Nedzor is feared most after his promising handicap debut last time, ahead of Soldier's Leap.

This can go to the progressive MOTAZZEN (nap), who escapes a penalty for his win over a clear second at Fontwell on Boxing Day.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
