16:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/5 +64%) Cuban Tiger	0.8 4/5(+64%)	(2) Cuban Tiger 4/5, 32,000 gns foal, €200,000 yearling, Havana Grey colt. Dam, useful Italian 1m winner (including at 2 yrs) who stayed 1¼m, half-sister to useful 8.5f-11f (minor US stakes) winner Picou. Yard's newcomers always command respect. Expensive yearling; powerful stable had two impressive novice winners just after Christmas.
2	1 2nd (1) (25/1 -108%) Call To Action	25 25/1(-108%)	(1) Call To Action 25/1, Soldier's Call colt. Dam, winner, half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner (stayed 10.5f) Rebel Tale. Betting should prove an informative guide on debut. Has the right sort of pedigree and worth a market check on debut.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/2 -22%) Musical Touch	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(4) Musical Touch 11/2, Mehmas colt who again shaped with promise when fourth of 9 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 4 weeks ago, left with a lot to do but running on. In good hands and he's the type to do better. Improved when fourth at Wolverhampton; type to keep getting better as he gains experience.
4	8 4th (8) (11/2 +0%) Alfa Kellenic	5.5 11/2(+0%)	(8) Alfa Kellenic 11/2, Promising individual. 66/1, third of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (6f) on debut 58 days ago, missing break but encouragingly finishing off very strongly. That experience won't have been wasted on her and better to come. Promising third at 66-1 on debut; should be more clued up today.
5th	7 5th (7) (13/2 -160%) Winter War	6.5 13/2(-160%)	(7) Winter War 13/2, €90,000 yearling, No Nay Never colt. Brother to 2-y-o 5f winner Nevereversaynever and 6f winner Never Cry Never. Dam 6f /7f winner (including at 2 yrs). Makes plenty of appeal on paper for yard amongst the winners. Considered. 90,000euros yearling; by No Nay Never; another interesting newcomer on paper.
6th	3 6th (3) (9/1 +73%) Hardman	9 9/1(+73%)	(3) Hardman 9/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, ninth of 13 in minor event at Redcar (5f, good) on debut in September, racing off the pace and never involved. Gelded subsequently and this ought to reveal more. Well-held ninth at Redcar (5f; 14-1) on debut; gelded since; needs significant improvement.
7th	9 7th (9) (200/1 -100%) Queen For Adaay	200 200/1(-100%)	(9) Queen For Adaay 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 250/1) 15 days ago. Hard to fancy. Has shown little in two runs to date and may be more of a long-term prospect.
8th	5 8th (5) (66/1 -100%) Power Shot	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Power Shot 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 11/2) 28 days ago, very slowly away and always behind. Handicaps entitled to be more his bag. Bit to prove after beating only one home at Wolverhampton last time.

LTO Selection:

16:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Musical Touch just about sets the standard from those with previous experience but the form is modest and this might go the way of one of the newcomers. Cuban Tiger looks the part on paper and enter calculations starting out for a highly respected yard. However, WINTER WAR has synthetics winners in his pedigree and he shades the vote, with his stable having already enjoyed a profitable start to the new year.

An interesting novice for the time of the year with several interesting newcomers in opposition, including WINTER WAR. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard amongst the winners and could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Cuban Tiger is interestin, too. Chelmsford eye-catcher Alfa Kelllenic completes the shortlist.

Preference is for MUSICAL TOUCH who looks the type to get better with racing and shaped nicely at Wolverhampton last time.

16:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5/6 +59%) Roman Emperor	0.833333 5/6(+59%)	(7) Roman Emperor 5/6, Promising third on 6.5f Newbury debut in June and confirmed he possesses a fair level of ability when length second of 7 in 6f Chelmsford novice 6 months later. Sets the standard. Very good 3rd in warm Newbury race on debut last June; solid 2nd back from break latest.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/2 -64%) Artistic Mission	4.5 9/2(-64%)	(1) Artistic Mission 9/2, Twice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on first time, second of 4 in novice at Newcastle (7f) 28 days ago. Visor also on now. Prominent showing likely. Low-key debut; ran up against a useful prospect latest; of interest dropped to 6f.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/4 +17%) Novarro	2.75 11/4(+17%)	(5) Novarro 11/4, 110,000 gns Invincible Army colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Secret Angel and winner up to 1m Queensbrydge. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 6f winner). This newcomer would very much enter the reckoning if the betting speaks for him. 110,000gns yearling; likely type on pedigree and the market should be revealing.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 -100%) Rob's Umberella	14 14/1(-100%)	(6) Rob's Umberella 14/1, 40,000 gns Showcasing half-brother to winner abroad by New Approach. Dam, 1¼m winner, closely related to very smart 1m winner Mustashry. Debutant from a respected stable. Needs a market check. 40,000gns yearling; nice pedigree but early signs are that he will need further than 6f.
5th	4 5th (4) (50/1 -100%) Noble Consort	50 50/1(-100%)	(4) Noble Consort 50/1, Modest form in 2 outings on AW in recent months. Probably more one for handicaps. Well held first 2 starts, over 6f and 7f; open to improvement, possibly in handicaps.
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -50%) Eastern Dream	12 12/1(-50%)	(3) Eastern Dream 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. Stepped up on debut when fifth of 10 in novice at this course (7f, 15/2) 25 days ago, no extra final 1f. Drops in trip now. Both runs over 7f but looks quite speedy and well worth a go over 6f.
7th	8 7th (8) (150/1 -50%) Kohana Girl	150 150/1(-50%)	(8) Kohana Girl 150/1, Well held in 2 outings on turf in September. Triple-figure prices and no serious form claims on her 6f and 5f turf runs in September.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 +0%) Diligent Henry	33 33/1(+0%)	(2) Diligent Henry 33/1, £14,000 Due Diligence gelding. Dam, 1½m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 9.2f Just Little. The betting is the best guide to expectations with this newcomer. £14,000 yearling; pedigree suggests longer trips will be in order later.

LTO Selection:

16:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Artistic Mission was a respectable second to a bright prospect over 7f here last month and is noteworthy with a visor now tried as he drops in trip. Novarro, who cost 110,000gns as a yearling, boasts a solid pedigree and is another to note in the betting. However, ROMAN EMPEROR, a half-brother to a winner over this distance, ran a blinder when second on his all-weather debut last month and could be hard to beat with another step forward here.

ROMAN EMPEROR gets the nod to build on his recent Chelmsford second and make it third time lucky, although a strong market move for newcomer Novarro would put a slightly different slant on things. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Artistic Mission should also be thereabouts.

This can go to ROMAN EMPEROR who looks the one to beat on his Newbury debut form and an encouraging return from a break at Chelmsford.

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/1 +0%) Landlordtothestars	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Landlordtothestars 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. Good third of 12 in handicap over this C&D 15 days ago. Respected. Acts well on this surface; needs extra following close C&D 3rd but J Leavy's claim a help.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/5 +64%) Cephalus	0.8 4/5(+64%)	(5) Cephalus 4/5, Left his previous efforts for this yard well behind when landing a gamble at Lingfield (1m) just before Christmas. Raised 4 lb but continues to look well treated on old form. C&D winner; back to form latest after very quiet spell; 12lb below highest winning mark.
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 -50%) Island Native	9 9/1(-50%)	(6) Island Native 9/1, Maiden. 11/8, first run since leaving Heather Main when bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 49 days ago. Early days for shrewd new connections. Some good efforts in AW handicaps but couldn't sustain effort for new yard latest.
4	2 4th (2) (7/1 -17%) Top Button	7 7/1(-17%)	(2) Top Button 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (7f, 7/2) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hollie Doyle up for a trainer making a name for himself. Needs considering. Has improved since handicapping and the extra furlong should suit on pedigree.
5th	3 5th (3) (20/1 -150%) Concert Boy	20 20/1(-150%)	(3) Concert Boy 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 4/1 and visored first time, respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 48 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Has won on Tapeta elsewhere; hampered 3rd over 1m at Newcastle latest; on a handy mark.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -17%) Odd Socks Havana	14 14/1(-17%)	(7) Odd Socks Havana 14/1, Won twice at Newcastle last winter. 6/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) on Thursday. Likely to be thereabouts if coping with the quick turnaround. Four AW wins on Tapeta elsewhere but rarely runs here and not for two years.
7th	4 7th (4) (9/1 +10%) Island Of Skye	9 9/1(+10%)	(4) Island Of Skye 9/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. Caught too far back when seventh of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) since. Both wins at 1m on Kempton Polytrack but acts on Tapeta elsewhere; place chance.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -100%) Fast Deal	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) Fast Deal 200/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle (150/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good to soft) 11 days ago. Down in trip. Poor on last Flat outing. Maiden; had a stab at many different scenarios without finding his niche.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Refreshed by a break after being treated for stomach ulcers, CEPHALUS returned to form with a vengeance over this trip at Lingfield just before Christmas and is presented with a good chance of following up from just 4lb higher. Landlordtothestars is still unexposed at this distance and is suggested as the biggest threat to the selection off 3lb higher than last month's win over the extended mile at Wolverhampton, while Concert Boy is also considered from a handy mark.

CEPHALUS won off marks in the 70s during his time with Charlie Hills so a 4 lb rise for Lingfield doesn't look enough to stop him now he's back in form. Hollie Doyle takes over the reins on lightly-raced 6-y-o Top Button who is second choice ahead of Landlordtothestars.

This is surely all about CEPHALUS who burst out of the wilderness at Lingfield and has a lot going for him at the weights.

17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5/6 +53%) Billy Webster	0.833333 5/6(+53%)	(1) Billy Webster 5/6, Showed much improved form fitted with first-time cheekpieces when resuming winning ways in 11-runner nursery (11/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 42 days ago, by length from Cotai Vision, readily. Hit with 9 lb rise but looks sure to go well again. Impressed at Wolverhampton on nursery debut; up 9lb but there's more to come.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/2 -10%) Cotai Vision	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(4) Cotai Vision 11/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in September and again ran well when second to a much-improved one over C&D 22 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to go well again. Good runs in defeat over 5f the last twice; should give her running again.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 -157%) Out Of The Stars	9 9/1(-157%)	(3) Out Of The Stars 9/1, Found things easier back down in grade when winning 9-runner minor event at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 21 days ago. Into handicaps now but her opening mark demands more. Only defeat in three 2yo runs came at Royal Ascot; can progress further now handicapping.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -38%) Call Glory	9 9/1(-38%)	(2) Call Glory 9/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in September and again ran respectably when fourth of 8 in nursery at this course (6.1f, 13/2) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Running creditably for this yard but more exposed than most; headgear needs to help.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +22%) Mart	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) Mart 7/2, Resumed progress when winning 10-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 5/2) 11 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb but can give another good account. Ended 2023 on a sharp upward curve; pitched into a stronger race today.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A small but competitive handicap, in which only a tentative vote can go to COTAI VISION. David Loughnane's charge was defeated by Billy Webster at Wolverhampton in November, but she is 6lb better off with that rival today, which could see her reverse the form. Out Of The Stars has been successful on two of her three career starts and looks an exciting prospect now pitched into handicaps, while neither Mart or Call Glory are able to be ruled out either.

BILLY WEBSTER made a winning handicap debut in ready fashion at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago and, with that form proving strong, a 9 lb rise looks manageable. Cotai Vision and Mart both warrant respect.

The form of BILLY WEBSTER (nap)'s Wolverhampton success has received several boosts and he can defy the handicapper's advances.

18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (28/1 -100%) Autumn Angel	28 28/1(-100%)	(3) Autumn Angel 28/1, Course winner who found her good run coming to a halt at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/2) 10 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Two good 6f runs last month before a lesser run ten days ago; needs to settle better at 7f.
2	2 2nd (2) (5/1 +29%) Turbo Command	5 5/1(+29%)	(2) Turbo Command 5/1, Turned in his best effort off the season to record a third C&D win 22 days ago, by 1½ lengths from Intoxicata, despite being slowly away. Can go well again. Three C&D wins last year; 4lb rise for latest success fair; one to consider.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 -78%) Top Of The Class	8 8/1(-78%)	(6) Top Of The Class 8/1, Ran best race after 12 weeks off when second of 13 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (7f) 47 days ago, running on. Must enter calculations. Good 2nd at Kempton when last seen; still relatively low mileage; shortlisted.
4	5 4th (5) (22/1 -38%) Powdering	22 22/1(-38%)	(5) Powdering 22/1, 40/1, first run since leaving Kevin Ryan when creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 18 days ago. Possibilities if building on that. Encouraging stable debut when keeping on for 5th at Wolverhampton 18 days ago; interesting.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +44%) Al Suil Eile	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(8) Al Suil Eile 9/2, Stepped up on reappearance run to resume winning ways in 12-runner handicap at this course (8.1f) 8 days ago, leading close home. Respected up 2 lb. Conditions to suit and he dug deep to score over 1m here last week; contender up 2lb.
6th	9 6th (9) (15/2 -25%) Intoxicata	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(9) Intoxicata 15/2, Three wins from 16 runs last year, latest at Lingfield (7f) in November. Has been placed all 5 starts since and seems sure to be on the premises once more. String of good runs since the visor went on, including C&D; in the mix once more.
7th	1 7th (1) (11/2 +54%) Kath's Toyboy	5.5 11/2(+54%)	(1) Kath's Toyboy 11/2, C&D winner who ran respectably after 5 months off when third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 30 days ago, running on. Merits consideration. C&D winner in April; dangerous mark still and should be sharper for recent return.
8th	7 8th (7) (6/1 +63%) Dr Rio	6 6/1(+63%)	(7) Dr Rio 6/1, Returned to form back down in trip when second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 64 days ago, running on. First run for yard after leaving Paul Midgley. Beverley win last summer and an unlucky loser on AW when last seen in Nov; stable debut.
9th	11 9th (11) (50/1 -100%) Atlantic Heart	50 50/1(-100%)	(11) Atlantic Heart 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022 but shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fifth of 13 in handicap (9/1) at Newcastle (8f) on final outing in September, unable to sustain effort. Could see her race out better on the back of a breathing operation/break. Down in the weights and a wind op since her latest run could help; worth market check.
10th	10 10th (10) (14/1 +13%) Violeta	14 14/1(+13%)	(10) Violeta 14/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs but wasn't seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 8/1) 53 days ago, finishing with running left after hampered on rail over 1f out. Eased 1 lb. Exposed maiden but she's run creditably in two starts in today's headgear; others stronger.
11th	4 11th (4) (4/1 -78%) Tipperary Moon	4 4/1(-78%)	(4) Tipperary Moon 4/1, 33/1, last of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm). Off 6 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Denis Quinn. Cheekpieces back on. Back with original yard and well treated now; absence to defy; check the betting.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

TOP OF THE CLASS bumped into an improver when narrowly denied at Kempton in November, but the daughter of Zoustar could go one better from just 1lb higher. That said, she's sure to face strong opposition from recent course winner Al Suil Eile and Turbo Command, who must compete from 4lb higher having been on target over track and trip last month. Others to note include Kath's Toyboy and Dr Rio.

A tentative vote goes to KATH'S TOYBOY, who ran well after a break behind an impressive winner over C&D last month. Turbo Command, Intoxicata and Top of The Class are a trio of others with solid-looking claims.

With his reappearance effort behind him KATH'S TOYBOY is taken to concede the weight all round. Turbo Command is feared most.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (8/1 +50%) Dynamic Talent	8 8/1(+50%)	(3) Dynamic Talent 8/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (9/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 32 days ago, very slowly away. Tumbling down the weights but keeps getting it wrong at the start; remains too risky.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/2 -29%) Once Adaay	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(4) Once Adaay 9/2, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap (11/2) at Chelmsford City (7f) 30 days ago. Not taken lightly despite a 3 lb rise. Cosy win at Chelmsford last time but more will be needed up 3lb; return to Tapeta fine.
3	5 3rd (5) (17/2 +29%) Berkshire Phantom	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(5) Berkshire Phantom 17/2, C&D winner. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 28 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Handicap mark in freefall but hard to gauge how much of his ability remains; new headgear.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 +40%) Reputation	6 6/1(+40%)	(1) Reputation 6/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in December. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Needs considering. Didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap two weeks ago; considered back down in class.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/1 -38%) Diamondsinthesand	9 9/1(-38%)	(8) Diamondsinthesand 9/1, Readily got off the mark at Wolverhampton in November but not seen to best effect since, bumped start next time then saddle slipped when ninth of 10 in handicap back at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 15 days ago. Well worth another chance off a lenient-looking mark. Not seen to best effect in either start since a Wolverhampton win in November; e-w claims.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/4 +63%) Kitaab	2.25 9/4(+63%)	(2) Kitaab 9/4, Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1) 44 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Ten-race maiden but there have been flickers of promise and the return to 7f may help.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 -33%) Absolute Dream	12 12/1(-33%)	(9) Absolute Dream 12/1, Latest win at Hamilton in September. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (15/2) 22 days ago. Can give a good account. Challenged away from the main action when 4th over C&D latest; in the mix with a repeat.
8th	6 8th (6) (10/1 -82%) Angel Amadea	10 10/1(-82%)	(6) Angel Amadea 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap (9/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 33 days ago, going clear. Ought to be in the shake-up. Powerful finish to win easily at Wolverhampton last month; not dismissed up 7lb.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -32%) Floral Splendour	33 33/1(-32%)	(7) Floral Splendour 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 25/1) 48 days ago. On losing run and hasn't looked in the form required to capitalise on her reduced mark.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 -25%) Star Of St James	50 50/1(-25%)	(10) Star Of St James 50/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 22 days ago, finding little. Hood on 1st time. Yet to shine in two runs for new yard; hood added today but others appeal more.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

ANGEL AMADEA was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when recording a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last month, and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to prevent her from repeating the dose. Once Adaay looks an obvious danger having been on target at Chelmsford last time, while Absolute Dream is another that must enter the reckoning.

DIAMONDSINTHESAND hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since getting off the mark at Wolverhampton and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Recent-scorers Angel Amadea and Once Adaay rate the obvious threats, with Absolute Dream another to consider in an open handicap.

Diamondsinthesand can fare better today but KITAAB is low-mileage for his age and could yet rate higher.

Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 5 lb rise. On a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and Lingfield last month; should go well again.
2	1 2nd (1) (13/2 +35%) Just Janet	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(1) Just Janet 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. Hindered cause with slow start when seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Not written off by any means. C&D win last month but 6lb rise found her out next time; might be vulnerable again.

Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. 5/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 6 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Enters calculations. Remained in form since 7f Wolverhampton win but mark looks about right; blinkers added.
4	4 4th (4) (28/1 -75%) Liberty Mountain	28 28/1(-75%)	(4) Liberty Mountain 28/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 40/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 24 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won at Wolverhampton (7f) in October but two lesser runs since need forgiving.
5th	8 5th (8) (6/1 -80%) Sixties Chic	6 6/1(-80%)	(8) Sixties Chic 6/1, Latest win at Lingfield in December. Not seen to best effect since, racing wide when third of 7 to Storymaker in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 14 days ago. Weighted to go close eased 1 lb. Two 6f AW wins this winter; fair third to reopposing Storymaker over 7f latest; player.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +43%) Finery	4 4/1(+43%)	(2) Finery 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in August. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (40/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 5 days ago so needs to bounce back. Third over 1m here last month but below par twice since; others are more obvious.
7th	6 7th (6) (9/2 -13%) Platinum Jubilee	4.5 9/2(-13%)	(6) Platinum Jubilee 9/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, excellent second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Up 2 lb but she can go well again with very few miles on the clock. Promising second on 1m Kempton handicap debut; tongue-tie added; unexposed from good yard.
8th	7 8th (7) (10/1 +17%) Smiling Sunflower	10 10/1(+17%)	(7) Smiling Sunflower 10/1, 16/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f). Off 95 days. Now below last winning mark so no forlorn hope. Won after a break last January and back on a good mark; worth noting in the betting.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PLATINUM JUBILEE put in a career best when a close second on her handicap debut over a mile at Kempton last month. The drop in trip and application of a first-time tongue-tie could help the daughter of Oasis Dream to get off the mark here. That said, the hat-trick seeking Storymaker is an obvious threat and Sixties Chic also merits consideration.

A case can be made for most of these but SIXTIES CHIC has slipped to an attractive mark and can bounce back to winning ways having not enjoyed the best of runs when third to Storymaker at Lingfield last time out. George Boughey's hat-trick seeker rates the main threat, although the less exposed Platinum Jubilee and C&D scorer Just Janet can also have a say in a competitive handicap.

Although SIXTIES CHIC was just over 2l behind Storymaker at Lingfield recently, she was caught wide and can turn the tables.

First run since leaving Jack Channon when last of 9 in handicap (100/1) at Chelmsford City (6f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Makes tapeta debut. Low-key stable debut last month (100-1) and others have more pressing claims.
9th	11 9th (11) (12/1 -71%) Ustath	12 12/1(-71%)	(11) Ustath 12/1, 4-time C&D winner. Three wins from 11 runs last year. 16/1, first run in 8 months when seventh of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 16 days ago. Back up in trip. Can make presence felt.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f, Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

COME ON GIRL bounced back to form when a head second over 6f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and she could be hard to beat if reproducing that level of form here. Urban Dandy made the frame in a similar event to this at Newcastle last time and should not be underestimated, while Ustath and El Hibri complete the shortlist.

THE NAIL GUNNER offered something to work with on his first outing since leaving Denis Quinn after 6 months off when seventh at Wolverhampton 10 days ago so could be the answer with a potentially lenient mark to work with. Ustath should come on for his recent run and has dipped below his last winning mark, so is next best ahead of Come On Girl, who was only just edged out at Lingfield 2 weeks ago.

Not a lot went right for the veteran ASTROPHYSICS at Wolverhampton last time and he's given another chance to exploit a handy mark.

Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 13/2) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Back up in trip. Looks competitive on form.

3	4 3rd (4) (6/4 +67%) Ney	1.5 6/4(+67%)	(4) Ney 6/4, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 16f over hurdles. 18/1, below form fifth of 9 in minor event hurdle at Naas (16.3f, soft). First run for yard after leaving Mrs Prunella Dobbs and worth monitoring in the market in this grade given pick of his hurdling form.

Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 7/1) 51 days ago, slowly away. Back up in trip. Has to be taken seriously.

6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -214%) Hot Team	22 22/1(-214%)	(2) Hot Team 22/1, Modest gelding. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Good seventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Ended last year with string of underwhelming runs and this trip may stretch him.
7th	10 7th (10) (18/1 -29%) Cape Point	18 18/1(-29%)	(10) Cape Point 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Ninth of 12 in handicap (9/1) at this course (14.1f) 30 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

In a moderate event the vote goes to UTHER PENDRAGON, whose last couple of efforts in handicap company suggest that the veteran could go very well at this level. Similar comments apply to Silver Bubble and the six-year-old may prove to be the main threat to the selection. The rest all have plenty to prove right now but Foinix is the pick of them.

Stable-switcher NEY could be worth chancing in this grade given the pick of his hurdling form. Silver Bubble and Uther Pendragon are feared most.

Stan Moore's veteran UTHER PENDRAGON, a close second in a 1m3f handicap here two starts ago, has good claims at this level.

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.
