Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (28/1 -40%) Soames Forsyte	28 28/1(-40%)	(6) Soames Forsyte 28/1, No-show from off the pace when well beaten in a Wolverhampton handicap latest. Usually held up and effective over 7/8f on all-weather; has lost form recently. Triple course winner but he's lost his way and needs to turn things around.

Now 2lb lower, effective 7-9f and appears better on all-weather; still fairly treated. Seven-time AW winner whose last win was off 1lb lower; dangerous if he gets a good pace.
3	2 3rd (2) (17/2 -89%) Forest Caper	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(2) Forest Caper 17/2, Made late gains when a bit below form, beaten 3l in a novice here last time. Effective at 7-10f and acts on all-weather; maiden who needs more to get off the mark. 14-race maiden and he's been beaten at 5-1 or shorter on 11 occasions; others preferred.

Trainer in form and effective at 8/9f; acts on all-weather but needs more. Often harms his chance but racing too freely but he's on a dangerous mark; not ruled out.
5th	11 5th (11) (16/1 -60%) Mercurius Power	16 16/1(-60%)	(11) Mercurius Power 16/1, Found little when below form, beaten 6l in a Newcastle handicap last time but was in good form prior. Effective at 8f, all recent form on all-weather; needs to bounce back. Now 1lb lower than for last win and has claims if he can rediscover his spark.
6th	5 6th (5) (4/1 +33%) Terries Royale	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Terries Royale 4/1, Found little and was below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time. From a top course trainer and suited by 7/8f; bit to prove at present. On reduced mark and he's still unexposed on AW but others are more convincing.
7th	4 7th (4) (13/2 +7%) Double Time	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(4) Double Time 13/2, Ran to form when held and tightened up late, beaten 2 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 8f and acts on all-weather; needs a bit more from this mark. Won at Kempton in October and he ran better than bare facts over C&D latest; in the mix.
8th	10 8th (10) (50/1 -213%) Havana Touch	50 50/1(-213%)	(10) Havana Touch 50/1, No-show from off the pace when finishing down the field in a handicap at Chelmsford most recent. Effective 7/8f and acts on all-weather; looks vulnerable. On workable mark but he's struggled in his last three runs and has plenty to prove.
9th	12 9th (12) (7/2 +61%) Miners Gamble	3.5 7/2(+61%)	(12) Miners Gamble 7/2, Too keen but ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Chelmsford last time. Effective over 8-10f and acts on all-weather; inconsistent performer. Record of 1-22 but he's been in fair form on AW last twice; not ruled out.

12th	8 12th (8) (50/1 -52%) Far Ahead	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Far Ahead 50/1, Found little and was well below form down the field in a handicap at Newcastle most recently.

17:00 Southwell (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Double Time, Havana Touch and Ernie's Valentine are all on workable ratings, but they have their flaws and none is without risk. AL HOFZAN is a far less-exposed contender who won't need to raise his game much after posting a respectable effort over 7f on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton. Running off the same mark, Georgina Nicholls' gelding gets the vote based on potential.

The vote goes to AL HOFZAN who is unexposed and is open to more progress at this new trip. Double Time is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +75%) Mr Wonka	2 2/1(+75%)	(4) Mr Wonka 2/1, Ran about to form in first-time visor when beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f on the all-weather; could need a drop in the weights. Six-race maiden and he needs improvement back up in trip.
2	7 2nd (7) (20/1 -67%) Norcross Brow	20 20/1(-67%)	(7) Norcross Brow 20/1, Very disappointing when upped in trip on first all-weather start, well beaten in a Chelmsford novice last time. Effective at 8f but has something to prove for now. Opening mark looks on the high side but he could kick on again back at this trip.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 +30%) Fermain	14 14/1(+30%)	(1) Fermain 14/1, Raced wide on the home turn and had too much to do when beaten 3l off a 3lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time. Effective at 5/6f on the all-weather; easing mark gives a chance to go well. Down the field in three handicaps but this new trip is worth exploring; tongue-tie added.
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 +15%) Popty Ping	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(8) Popty Ping 17/2, Scored by a head off a 5lb lower mark here two runs back. Held up off a slow pace but probably ran to form last time from the same mark. Effective 6-8f on the all-weather and consistent since fitted with headgear. Just 1-11 but has a solid record in AW handicaps; should be in the mix again.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -50%) Charming Doll	18 18/1(-50%)	(3) Charming Doll 18/1, Made a bit too much use of over a longer trip when fourth, beaten 6l in a novice here last time. Effective at 7/8f on the all-weather and still open to improvement. Handicap newcomer who showed promise in novice/maiden events; needs watching in market.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/4 +25%) Beckon	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(5) Beckon 6/4, Travelled best and won cosily by a length in a Newcastle novice last time. Stays 8f and may stay further; effective on the all-weather and has more to come. Won 1m novice last month and she's open to more progress on handicap debut; big player.
7th	9 7th (9) (9/1 +64%) Archangel Josepi	9 9/1(+64%)	(9) Archangel Josepi 9/1, Ran to the balance of form in cheekpieces when third, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap here last time. Effective at 6f, only just stays 8f; acts on the all-weather and may be a little high in the weights. Inconsistent eight-race maiden and others are more convincing.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 +18%) Crystal Aurora	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Crystal Aurora 33/1, Failed to figure from off the pace when beaten 7 1/4l in a nursery here last time. Returns from a short break; effective at 6/7f on the all-weather and respected back up in trip. Six-race maiden who has been up and down so far and is untried at this trip; down the list.
9th	11 9th (11) (25/1 -79%) Sweet Mabel	25 25/1(-79%)	(11) Sweet Mabel 25/1, May not have stayed the longer trip when well beaten in a Wolverhampton maiden last time. Trainer in form; bred to be effective at 7-10f on the all-weather but only minor promise so far. Unexposed filly but she needs a transformation back in trip on handicap debut.

17:30 Southwell (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MASKATTO returned from a short break to cement the theory that he is capable of further progress by scoring in a game manner in a maiden at Lingfield a fortnight ago. That was his first attempt at a mile and he steps into a handicap on a very attractive mark. Recent Newcastle winner and fellow handicap debutant Beckon has similar scope and is taken seriously in her follow-up bid. Popty Ping is reliably effective on Tapeta and is another to seriously consider.

The vote goes to the unexposed BECKON, who won at Newcastle last month and is open to more progress on her handicap debut.

Usually held up and effective from 8f to 10f; has a poor strike-rate but goes well on this surface. On long losing run but she's generally reliable and had an excuse here two weeks ago.
3	8 3rd (8) (3/1 -9%) Taskheer	3 3/1(-9%)	(8) Taskheer 3/1, Bit keen but ran to form when second beaten a head in a classified race at Lingfield latest; effective 7/8f, best on AW; likely to go well again. In-form 8yo who went close in a classified event at Lingfield on Monday; respected.

Blinkers applied for the first time; effective from 7f to 8f on a sound surface. Prefers to lead and needs to bounce back.

6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Zaramara	66 66/1(-100%)	(9) Zaramara 66/1, Took a step back in the right direction when beaten 6 1/4l in a classified race here last time. Represents a top course trainer; effective at 7f on good to firm and this surface but still needs improvement. Eight-race maiden who has yet to be placed and was well held over C&D on Tuesday.
7th	4 7th (4) (20/1 -25%) Masham Moor	20 20/1(-25%)	(4) Masham Moor 20/1, No-show from off the pace when beaten 6l in a handicap here last time. Cheekpieces go on for the first time; effective at 8f and acts on this surface. Likes the track but can be unreliable. Triple C&D winner but he's been well held here in last two runs; cheekpieces added.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 +44%) Shoptilyoudrop	28 28/1(+44%)	(6) Shoptilyoudrop 28/1, Ran to a similar level when beaten 4 1/2l in a handicap here last time.

Returning from a break and needs to show more to feature. Poor maiden who was well held when last seen in August; difficult to recommend.

18:00 Southwell (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PINK SOCKS is hard to oppose after emphatic successes at Newcastle and here over 7f on Tuesday. Even the welter burden of 10st 7lb fails to diminish her chances of completing a hat-trick, with Ryan Kavanagh's 5lb claim helping in that regard. Of the opposition, Taskheer has the most convincing recent form and looks the logical one for the forecast. Dash Power and Balqaa complete the shortlist.

Most of these have lots to prove but PINK SOCKS has won her last two starts and may well be able to complete the hat-trick.

Runner-up in both starts for current yard including a near miss over C&D; key player.
2	1 2nd (1) (2/1 -23%) Secret Road	2 2/1(-23%)	(1) Secret Road 2/1, Produced best work late and ran to his best when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; effective at 6-7f and acts on AW; strong chance in another classified event. Has form figures of 2112 this month; big player if he copes with this return to 1m.
3	5 3rd (5) (4/1 +27%) Spirit Of Bowland	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Spirit Of Bowland 4/1, Should have finished closer when given a bit to do, finishing fourth beaten 4l in a handicap here last time; effective at 7-9f and best on AW; interesting if building on latest effort. Dual C&D winner who was an eyecatching fourth here (1m) last month; dangerous.
4	7 4th (7) (22/1 -100%) Top Gun Tina	22 22/1(-100%)	(7) Top Gun Tina 22/1, Back to form and should have finished closer when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l, in a classified race at Newcastle last time; suited by 8f and best on AW; can go well. 0-18 on AW and she's been well held in classified events in last two runs; opposable.

Just one win from last 30 starts and he's been well held here last twice; passed over.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +18%) Yorkstone	9 9/1(+18%)	(8) Yorkstone 9/1, Below form when down the field in a classified race at Newcastle most recently; wears blinkers for the first time; effective at 7-8f and acts on AW; form has been going the wrong way. On long long run and he struggled on his reappearance at Newcastle last week.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -100%) Summer Evening	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Summer Evening 50/1, Outpaced and never threatened when beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap here last time; yet to show any reliable form. Well held at big prices in all six runs including two over 6f/7f here this month.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -100%) Mr Slicker	66 66/1(-100%)	(3) Mr Slicker 66/1, Raced wide, made too much use of, and found little when down the field in a handicap here most recently; was in good form prior and returns from a long layoff; effective at 8f on AW and needs to bounce back. 12yo who has not won since 2023 and has plenty to prove on his return.

18:30 Southwell (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Secret Road found only one too strong when bidding for a hat-trick at Chelmsford and he merits the utmost respect, despite giving weight away all round, but RELEVANT RANGE gets the nod. Ivan Furtado's charge went agonisingly close over C&D before bumping into a progressive rival at Newcastle. On favourable terms, especially when taking into account Jordan Nason's 3lb claim, compensation may await. Spirit Of Bowland heads the remainder.

This is a tight call between Relevant Range and SECRET ROAD but the vote goes to James Owen's resurgent 8yo.

Newbury winner who sets a clear standard under a penalty on his return; big player.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -155%) You Got To My Soul	7 7/1(-155%)	(7) You Got To My Soul 7/1, 175,000gns Zoustar filly; half-sister to seven winners, two of them at Listed level including Falcao Negro, smart at 10f; dam very useful at 8f at 2yo; trainer in form and likely to go well on debut. 175,000gns yearling; interesting newcomer for an in-form stable.
4	6 4th (6) (125/1 -25%) Madjid	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) Madjid 125/1, Too free when held up off a break, despite a new hood, finishing down the field in a novice at Lingfield last time; closely related to a 7-10f Listed winner; poor so far. Has struggled in both his runs and handicaps will be more like it.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/1 +13%) Lorca's Waltz	7 7/1(+13%)	(5) Lorca's Waltz 7/1, Green and showed little when well beaten in a novice at Wolverhampton on only start; likeable type who should improve for a leading yard.

7th	1 7th (1) (150/1 -50%) Teggy Lasso	150 150/1(-50%)	(1) Teggy Lasso 150/1, Again ran to a moderate level when well beaten in a novice here last time; the type to do better once handicapping. Well held at big prices in both runs and latest was over C&D last month; passed over.

19:00 Southwell (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Ralph Beckett has been in irresistible form so his 175,000gns newcomer You Got To My Soul, who is related to a host of useful performers, must feature prominently in calculations. Fellow debutant Knowledge warrants a market check, but this could be all about the returning VENETIAN PRINCE. Far from disgraced in a red-hot Newmarket maiden in July, Andrew Balding's colt was one of a number to enhance the form next time. He's sure to have loftier targets when the turf campaign resumes, but connections will be hopeful that he is forward enough today.

Top of the list is Newbury winner VENETIAN PRINCE who sets a good standard under a penalty on his return.

19:30 Southwell (Class 4) 4f Race Class Flow

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

NORTHERN SPIRIT appeared to have excuses at Newcastle when slowly away and weakening in the closing stages. A subsequent wind operation should aid his cause and the six-year-old is only 2lb higher than for his last success at Gosforth Park in August. Star Chorus was left on the same mark after his third at Lingfield last week and is capable of being in the mix, while the drop back to 5f gives Ay Gee Ell every chance of being competitive.

4yo AY GEE ELL (nap) was an emphatic winner over C&D on his penultimate run and he could resume his progress on this drop back in trip.

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

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

MR NUGGET has won twice at this venue, including on his penultimate start, and the five-year-old ran with plenty of credit under a 5lb penalty at Lingfield a fortnight ago. His recent consistency further aids his cause and this appears to be an excellent opportunity to get his head back in front. Harlington didn't seem to stay 2m at Goodwood when last seen and is better judged on his efforts prior. Hackney Diamonds heads the remainder.

This looks to be a good opportunity for the consistent MR NUGGET to resume winning ways. He has most to fear from Hackney Diamonds.

20:30 Southwell (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Mademoiselle Belle was no match for a well-bred rival who has since won twice over C&D on New Year's Day and a repeat of that effort would see her bang in contention. That said, the less-exposed AL NAJASHI shades the vote. Ollie Sangster's colt showed some promise in a couple of runs at Wolverhampton and the return to 6f appears likely to suit on his handicap debut. Woody Y Fernandez and Mythical Night can fight it out for the minor honours.

Another chance is given to WOODY Y FERNANDEZ who finished third at Chelmsford last time. Mademoiselle Belle is next best.

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.
