The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(9) It's Showtime 9/1, 14/1, creditable 1½ lengths third of 8 to Desert Master in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago. Probably won't be far away but she's 0-12 on the AW and may again find one of two too good. Third behind two of today's rivals over C&D 15 days ago; more required to take this.

5
1st (5) (10/1 -18%) Havechatma
10
10/1(-18%)
(5) Havechatma 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Fourth of 6 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 13 days ago. Perhaps a shade too high in the weights at present. Two C&D wins last October; well held twice this winter but now returns to Class 6.

2nd (2) (7/2 +56%) Level Up
3.5
7/2(+56%)
(2) Level Up 7/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 21 runs last year. Sixth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 8 days ago, never nearer. Opposable. C&D winner; in better form than his figures suggest; big player back in a Class 6.

3rd (8) (16/5 +51%) King Of The Jungle
3.2
16/5(+51%)
(8) King Of The Jungle 16/5, Three wins from 12 runs last year, the latest at Thirsk in September. 2/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Merits consideration. Needs to bounce back from a poor 6f run three weeks ago; earlier 2nds give him claims.
4

4th (3) (6/1 -71%) Rosenpur
6
6/1(-71%)
(3) Rosenpur 6/1, Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner novice at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 11/8) 17 days ago. On a workable mark back in handicap company and he has to be taken seriously. Easy win in 5f novice 17 days ago; 5lb rise for that looks harsh; more on his plate today.
5th
4
5th (4) (9/1 -80%) Show Me Show Me
9
9/1(-80%)
(4) Show Me Show Me 9/1, Latest win at Newcastle in January. 4/1, creditable short-head second of 8 to Desert Master in handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, just failing. Another bold show likely. Conditions fine and just missed out behind Desert Master here two weeks ago; contender.
6th
1
6th (1) (14/1 0%) Doddie's Impact
14
14/1(0%)
(1) Doddie's Impact 14/1, Latest win at Newcastle in December. 14/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 33 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes. Ready win at Newcastle last month; failed to back it up latest; returns to Class 6.
7th
6
7th (6) (13/2 +0%) Desert Master
6.5
13/2(+0%)
(6) Desert Master 13/2, Dual C&D winner, the latest on penultimate start. 4/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago. Something to find on form. Successful in his last two C&D runs; caught wide at Wolverhampton last time; contender.
8th
7
8th (7) (16/1 +11%) Basholo
16
16/1(+11%)
(7) Basholo 16/1, Four wins from 14 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in December. 11/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 24 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Four Wolverhampton wins last year; below par the last twice; needs to bounce back.
12:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Having scored in a novice event at Wolverhampton 17 days ago, further improvement cannot be ruled out from Rosenpur. However, Jennie Candlish's gelding returns to handicap company off a 5lb higher mark and it could be worth taking a chance on the downgraded HAVECHATMA. The dual track-and-trip winner offered more encouragement when fourth over C&D latest and a 2lb drop in the ratings will help. Show Me Show Me is also of interest.
It was a belated but nonetheless deserved first success for ROSENPUR at Wolverhampton earlier this month and he looks capable of repeating the dose off a fair mark back in handicap company. King of The Jungle was knocking on the door prior to a low-key display last time and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back with a bold show, while Show Me Show Me also enters calculations.
A competitive sprint but LEVEL UP is in better form than his figures would indicate and he's a major player dropping into a Class 6.
(2) Cherry Cobbler 7/4, Twice-raced gelding. Fourth of 9 in novice at Kempton (6f, 2/1) 15 days ago. Drop to 5f looks a good move and he should be involved. Two promising efforts at Kempton (1m & 6f) this winter; new trip but sound form claims.
2
4
2nd (4) (10/3 -67%) Noble Victory
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(4) Noble Victory 10/3, 38,000 gns yearling. Brother to 6f winner True Icon and closely related to useful 5f-7f winner Magical Effect and 7f-8.6f winner Broughtons Flare. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Appealing on paper and very much one to note in the betting. 38,000gns yearling; all six siblings are winners, some useful; interesting newcomer.
3
5
3rd (5) (2/1 +50%) Ant Colony
2
2/1(+50%)
(5) Ant Colony 2/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 16/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Back down in trip for this tapeta debut and he merits respect. Fair effort at Kempton after a break two weeks ago (7f); return to sprinting can help.
4
3
4th (3) (13/2 -63%) Foro Romano
6.5
13/2(-63%)
(3) Foro Romano 13/2, Fair gelding. 16/1, second of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. Should be in the mix. Good second at Kempton (6f) ten days ago having pulled hard; solid form claims back at 5f.
5th
9
5th (9) (28/1 -211%) Triple Wishes
28
28/1(-211%)
(9) Triple Wishes 28/1, Expert Eye filly. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f/6f winner), half-sister to useful 2-y-o 5f winner Malc. Market should point the way. First foal of a fair 5f-7f winner; doesn't have a daunting standard to aim at on debut.
6th
1
6th (1) (50/1 -213%) Tough At The Top
50
50/1(-213%)
(1) Tough At The Top 50/1, Twice-raced gelding. Fifth of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (5f, 25/1) 5 days ago, never nearer. Probably more one for handicaps later on. Promising return at Newcastle last week and he remains capable of better.
7th
6
7th (6) (100/1 -52%) Spirit Of Newlife
100
100/1(-52%)
(6) Spirit Of Newlife 100/1, Once-raced gelding. Eighth of 9 in novice at Newcastle (6f, 66/1) on debut 7 days ago. Readily passed over. 66-1 and always out the back at Newcastle on last week's debut (6f); best watched.
8th
7
8th (7) (125/1 -150%) Treacle Villa
125
125/1(-150%)
(7) Treacle Villa 125/1, Once-raced gelding. Last of 7 in novice at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) on debut 29 days ago. Yard also saddles newcomer Triple Wishes. 18-1 and green when last of seven on his Newcastle debut four weeks ago; hard to recommend.
9th
8
9th (8) (80/1 -142%) Mary Murray
80
80/1(-142%)
(8) Mary Murray 80/1, €7,000 yearling, Profitable filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 2-y-o 5f winner Santry. Entitled to come on for the run. 7,000euros yearling; dam an unraced mare from a fair sprinting family; check betting.
12:42 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Ant Colony arrives on the back of a respectable fifth on his handicap bow at Kempton and he should put his experience to good use reverting to maiden company. Cherry Cobbler has offered plenty of encouragement on his two outings to date and the son of Zoustar is also worth a second look. However, the aforementioned pair could prove vulnerable to newcomer NOBLE VICTORY, a half-brother to Jungle Cove, and market support for James Tate's colt would increase confidence.
NOBLE VICTORY is a likely-looking type and he certainly wouldn't need to be out of the ordinary to make a winning debut here. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Ant Colony, Foro Romano and Cherry Cobbler are all likely to benefit from this drop to 5f and are feared most in that order of preference.
Tough At The Top may prove best of those with experience but the well-related newcomer NOBLE VICTORY can make a winning debut.
12:42 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(5) Charlie's Choice 5/1, Course winner. Three wins from 13 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 6 days ago. Shortlist material. Has produced a string of good runs over 9.4f-1m4f this winter, including a 1m3f win here.
2
7
2nd (7) (16/1 -167%) Humble Spark
16
16/1(-167%)
(7) Humble Spark 16/1, Four wins from 15 runs last year. 6/4, respectable second of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 7 days ago, not knocked about. One to consider. 4-13 on AW, all on the Newcastle Tapeta; never better than on his two starts this month.
3
9
3rd (9) (4/1 -14%) Hebridean Nomad
4
4/1(-14%)
(9) Hebridean Nomad 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 7/1, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 27 days ago, no match for winner. Makes tapeta debut and, provided that he takes to this surface, another good run is likely off an unchanged mark. In the thick of things again if he's as good on this Tapeta debut, and he's lightly raced.
4
4
4th (4) (16/1 -357%) Caramay
16
16/1(-357%)
(4) Caramay 16/1, Six wins from 21 Flat runs. Four wins from 10 runs last year. 3/1, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this course (11.1f) 16 days ago. 2 lb nudge fair enough and should give it a good shot in her bid to complete the hat-trick. Form figures 11212311 on Tapeta since cheekpieces went on, including two 1m3f wins here.
5th
11
5th (11) (7/1 +22%) The Bay Warrior
7
7/1(+22%)
(11) The Bay Warrior 7/1, Career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, 4/1) 15 days ago, cosily. Only gone up 2 lb for that and he has to enter calculations. Last two starts were over 1m3f here, winning with a late bid 15 days ago; solid sequence.
6th
8
6th (8) (33/1 -18%) Sharp Distinction
33
33/1(-18%)
(8) Sharp Distinction 33/1, Latest win at Lingfield in November. 16/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 12 days ago. Back down in trip and blinkers back on. Won over 1m4f on Lingfield Polytrack in November on his only start in today's blinkers.
7th
1
7th (1) (10/3 +39%) Skye Breeze
3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(1) Skye Breeze 10/3, C&D winner. Two wins from 6 runs last year. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 47 days ago, slowly away. Place possibilities. Returned from seven months off with a promising C&D performance (4-1) in December.
8th
3
8th (3) (17/2 +58%) Timeless Charm
8.5
17/2(+58%)
(3) Timeless Charm 17/2, Lightly-raced winner. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 57 days ago. Probably best watched on this debut for new yard. Behind in two handicaps this winter; left G Boughey; upped from 1m2f and is bred to stay.
9th
10
9th (10) (40/1 -43%) Nowhere
40
40/1(-43%)
(10) Nowhere 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 98 days ahead of this yard/handicap debut and improvement is needed. Hood applied. 15,000gns buy; hooded and back up in trip for stable/handicap debut, needing improvement.
13:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CARAMAY has proved most progressive throughout her current campaign and the daughter of Lethal Force arrives on the back of a cosy victory over 1m3f here. That was the five-year-old's fifth triumph since September and a 2lb rise looks lenient. Although Humble Spark was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when runner-up at Newcastle last week, Jim Goldie's gelding is feared most, ahead of Charlie's Choice.
This is tougher than the handicap THE BAY WARRIOR bagged here recently but he appeared to have a bit left up his sleeve and, upped just 2 lb, he is taken to strike again. There are dangers aplenty, headed by the consistent Charlie's Choice, with the hat-trick seeking Caramay, Humble Spark and lightly-raced Hebridean Nomad others with claims. Top-weight Skye Breeze is also worthy of consideration.
Competitive. With a stamina question for Caramay, narrow preference is for SKYE BREEZE. Hebridean Nomad is very lightly raced.
(8) Badri 11/2, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 5/1). Off 100 days. Back up in trip. Given a chance by the assessor. Failed to win last year but down in the weights and retains lots of ability; big player.
2
2
2nd (2) (11/2 +31%) King's Lynn
5.5
11/2(+31%)
(2) King's Lynn 11/2, Below form at Newcastle latest but had posted good third over C&D previously and remains fairly treated. On a long losing run but conditions are fine and he's handicapped to go well; e-w shout.
3
3
3rd (3) (7/1 +36%) Amazonian Dream
7
7/1(+36%)
(3) Amazonian Dream 7/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton in December. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f) 19 days ago, running on. Needs a couple of these to falter. C&D win in November was followed by a better effort at Kempton; this may be run to suit.
4
5
4th (5) (4/1 +50%) Rohaan
4
4/1(+50%)
(5) Rohaan 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago, never nearer. Back to a potentially lenient mark, though. Should be well treated but that's been the case for a while; rather laboured last time.
5th
9
5th (9) (11/2 +39%) True Promise
5.5
11/2(+39%)
(9) True Promise 11/2, Below best the last twice but is only 1 lb above his last winning mark and scored on his last visit here. Conditions no problem and best AW form gives him claims; below par the last twice though.
6th
6
6th (6) (28/1 -133%) Glorious Angel
28
28/1(-133%)
(6) Glorious Angel 28/1, C&D winner. 18/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Sharper for her recent reappearance (7f); this trip more suitable but others look stronger.
7th
11
7th (11) (22/1 -100%) Golden Strike
22
22/1(-100%)
(11) Golden Strike 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. One win from 2 runs last year. Tenth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 68 days ago. Others more persuasive. Unexposed 4yo; well held on handicap/AW debut in November but return to sprinting can help.
8th
4
8th (4) (11/4 -69%) Dyrholaey
2.75
11/4(-69%)
(4) Dyrholaey 11/4, Three-time winner who was returning from 6 months off (gelded) when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago. Good shout. Unexposed 4yo; pleasing return from an absence at Wolverhampton last month; can do better.
9th
7
9th (7) (50/1 -79%) Zero Carbon
50
50/1(-79%)
(7) Zero Carbon 50/1, Latest win at Kempton in August. Eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 50/1) 31 days ago. Others have achieved more. Not fired in two runs for new stable; manageable mark but others look safer today.
13:42 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Three from three before finishing down the field at Royal Ascot in June, DYRHOLAEY returned to action with a promising third at Wolverhampton last month, despite being a beaten favourite. The unexposed four-year-old will undoubtedly come on for that run and should go very close off an unchanged mark. It's been some time since King's Lynn's last success but a drop in class will help, while Rohaan is another to consider.
DYRHOLAEY has few miles on the clock and is entitled to build on last month's Wolverhampton return. He gets the nod. King's Lynn and True Promise can also make their presence felt.
King's Lynn and BADRI, the old men of the party, both lurk on dangerous marks and the selection can enhance his good C&D record.
(6) Further Measure 2/1, Arrives in fine form having won 2 of his last 3 starts, latest when comfortably taking 9-runner handicap over C&D 7 days ago. 4 lb penalty may not be enough to prevent further success. Exposed 8yo but bang in form and stayed on best to score by 5l over C&D last week.
2
1
2nd (1) (8/1 +20%) Doublethetrouble
8
8/1(+20%)
(1) Doublethetrouble 8/1, Latest win at Newcastle in September. 15/2, sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 8 days ago, left poorly placed. Not out of things. Capable stayer at this level and his latest race wasn't run to suit.
3
4
3rd (4) (9/2 +25%) Star Legend
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(4) Star Legend 9/2, Won over hurdles last month and posted good effort back in this sphere when fifth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f) 19 days ago. 2 lb lower now and warrants respect. Latest win was over hurdles; 66-1 when behind Blue Sky Boy at Chelmsford 19 days ago.
4
3
4th (3) (11/2 -57%) Dark Mystery
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(3) Dark Mystery 11/2, Just sole win from 25 Flat runs but come close in recent starts, latest when creditable second of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (14f) 23 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and looks sure to go well again. 1-26 but he's consistent and gone down narrowly over 1m6f at Wolverhampton the last twice.
5th
2
5th (2) (40/1 -60%) Corsican Caper
40
40/1(-60%)
(2) Corsican Caper 40/1, Course winner. Five wins from 20 runs last year. 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago. Others preferred. Has a better strike-rate on turf than on AW and hasn't been at his best of late.
6th
5
6th (5) (5/2 +17%) Blue Sky Boy
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(5) Blue Sky Boy 5/2, Lightly-raced gelding who posted career best when close second of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Chelmsford City (14f) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Likely contender. Lightly raced and steadily improving; clear second last time off 2lb lower.
7th
7
7th (7) (50/1 -150%) Quercus Robur
50
50/1(-150%)
(7) Quercus Robur 50/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at this C&D 16 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Something to find on form. Three-time AW winner but has found no form since returning from a long absence.
14:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FURTHER MEASURE caught the eye at Wolverhampton earlier this month before going on to record a commanding success over this C&D last Thursday, and a 4lb penalty is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. That said, Blue Sky Boy has few miles on the clock and, having kept on over 1m6f at Chelmsford last time, the step up in trip could unlock further improvement. Dark Mystery is noted too.
FURTHER MEASURE posted his best effort for current connections when scoring over C&D last week and looks well in under a penalty. He can follow up. Dark Mystery and Blue Sky Boy rate the principal dangers.
Further Measure has clear claims but preference is for the younger BLUE SKY BOY who looks progressive.
(1) Cloch Nua 11/8, Back to winning ways at Newcastle earlier this month and followed up in 11-runner minor event at same course (8f) 7 days ago, cosily. Big player. Chasing a classified hat-trick; 0-7 at this trip & penalised today but still a key player.
2
7
2nd (7) (11/1 +31%) Mr Slicker
11
11/1(+31%)
(7) Mr Slicker 11/1, Modest gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 8 in minor event at this course (8.1f, 9/1) 13 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Placed in similar events here the last twice; should run his race but needs more to win.
3
3
3rd (3) (9/2 +55%) Dandy Lichious
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(3) Dandy Lichious 9/2, Modest gelding. Very good third of 9 in minor event (5/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 5 days ago. Not ruled out. Slightly more promise the last twice but he needs to raise his game to end his losing run.
4
2
4th (2) (12/1 -20%) Alice's Impact
12
12/1(-20%)
(2) Alice's Impact 12/1, Modest filly. First run since leaving John & Sean Quinn when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 3 days ago. Claims if building on that. Encouraging stable debut on Monday, tiring late; not discounted at this level.
5th
4
5th (4) (9/1 -6%) Evoluir
9
9/1(-6%)
(4) Evoluir 9/1, Off the mark at this course (6f) in October and ran to similar level when creditable ½-length third of 12 to Van Zant in minor event over C&D (5/1) 15 days ago. Ought to give another good account. Infrequent winner but comes here in form and holds each-way claims once again.
6th
5
6th (5) (9/2 +47%) Kapparis Kid
4.5
9/2(+47%)
(5) Kapparis Kid 9/2, Temperamental sort. Course winner (6f) earlier this month but disappointed at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Both wins at 6f but seems to stay this far; blew the start latest; can bounce back.
7th
8
7th (8) (5/1 -82%) Van Zant
5
5/1(-82%)
(8) Van Zant 5/1, Returned to form when second at Wolverhampton (7.2f) earlier this month and went one better in 12-runner minor event (7/2) over C&D 15 days ago. Another bold bid is on the cards. Kept on well to land a similar race here two weeks ago; more appealing than most.
8th
9
8th (9) (100/1 -52%) Wedgewood Sapphire
100
100/1(-52%)
(9) Wedgewood Sapphire 100/1, Modest filly. Last of 12 in minor event at this C&D (12/1) 26 days ago. Something to prove at present. Turf win last summer but heavy defeats the last twice, the latest over C&D this month.
9th
6
9th (6) (100/1 -100%) Motagally
100
100/1(-100%)
(6) Motagally 100/1, Thirty one runs since last win in 2020. 10 lengths eighth of 12 to Van Zant in minor event at this C&D (33/1) 15 days ago. Work to do. Regressive veteran who was a well-beaten 33-1 shot dropped to classified level 15 days ago.
14:42 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Cloch Nua is likely to prove popular having landed a couple of similar events over the mile at Newcastle recently but, although respected, a drop in trip might not play to his strengths and VAN ZANT is preferred. Ruth Carr's gelding hit the woodwork at Wolverhampton on his penultimate outing before going one better over C&D last time, and a reproduction of that performance might be good enough. Evoluir can chase the pair home.
Preference is for VAN ZANT, who showed a good attitude when returning to winning ways here earlier this month. The hat-trick seeking Cloch Nua is feared most, whilst Evoluir should also go well.
Cloch Nua has strong form claims but the drop to 7f isn't sure to suit and recent C&D winner VAN ZANT edges preference.
(4) Hawajes 2/1, C&D winner who arrives on back of creditable placed efforts, latest when 4¼ lengths third of 9 to Porfin in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 4/1) 6 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers on 1st time. Warrants respect. Slow starts haven't been helping but the first-time blinkers could make a difference.
2
1
2nd (1) (5/2 -100%) Porfin
2.5
5/2(-100%)
(1) Porfin 5/2, Posted best effort for some time when winning 9-runner minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 11/4) 6 days ago, always holding on. Big player if in same form again here. 2l winner last week at Lingfield but seeking first win here at the seventh attempt.

15/2(+17%)
(6) Kodebreaker 15/2, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Below form sixth of 11 in minor event (4/1) at this C&D 15 days ago, slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter. Rarely wins these days and was again well held in a recent classified race here.

4th (8) (7/1 -40%) Miss Calculation
7
7/1(-40%)
(8) Miss Calculation 7/1, Back from 4 months off when creditable third of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, left with too much to do. Return to this longer trip will suit and is one for shortlist. This is her trip so it was an encouraging run after a break over Wolverhampton's 6f.

5th (3) (7/1 +50%) Coconut Bay
7
7/1(+50%)
(3) Coconut Bay 7/1, Modest mare. 18/1, respectable seventh of 12 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Others more appealing. Form took another dip here last time but she was placed over C&D the time before.

6th (2) (17/2 -31%) Anamika
8.5
17/2(-31%)
(2) Anamika 17/2, Modest filly. 12/1 and blinkered for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away. Looks competitive on form. Maiden but returning to 7f can help and she's the highest rated of these on BHA figures.

7th (5) (25/1 +0%) Inexplicable
25
25/1(+0%)
(5) Inexplicable 25/1, Modest gelding. Course winner. Ninth of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (8f, 18/1) 20 days ago. Work to do. Ten AW wins but nine of those have been at 1m+ and he failed to shine last time.

8th (9) (20/1 +39%) Tea Leaf Ted
20
20/1(+39%)
(9) Tea Leaf Ted 20/1, Poor gelding. 40/1, last of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes tapeta debut. Best watched. Drawn wide last time at Kempton but was tailed off and that made it 0-13.
9th

9th (7) (80/1 -21%) Lil Wade
80
80/1(-21%)
(7) Lil Wade 80/1, Remains a maiden after 24 Flat runs. Seventh of 9 in handicap (125/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy. Occasionally placed but at shorter trips and hasn't convinced up to 7f the last twice.
15:12 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PORFIN made most when scoring by two lengths in this company at Lingfield six days ago and, providing he can run to a similar level, he might be able to follow up. Hawajes is a previous C&D winner who sports first-time blinkers after finishing third behind the selection last week, and could get closer. Of the remainder, Miss Calculation makes the most appeal.
MISS CALCULATION caught the eye when finishing well at Wolverhampton earlier this month and will benefit from the return to this longer trip. She can land the spoils. Porfin and Hawajes look the likeliest dangers.
Although behind Porfin last week at Lingfield, HAWAJES might be happier back here and the blinkers may also give him a lift.
(4) Tea Sea 8/11, Resumed winning ways at Wolverhampton (7.2f) last month and found further improvement when narrowly following up at this course (8.1f) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Just 2 lb higher here and looks the one to beat. Narrow winner of his last two races, over 7f at Wolverhampton and 1m here.

2nd (8) (11/1 +8%) Fistral Beach
11
11/1(+8%)
(8) Fistral Beach 11/1, Posted best effort for some time when creditable third of 8 in handicap (18/1) over C&D 7 days ago, running on. Finds herself 3 lb out of the weights here, however. Inconsistent but ran one of her better races to hit the frame over C&D last week.

3rd (7) (33/1 -32%) Embarked
33
33/1(-32%)
(7) Embarked 33/1, C&D winner. Last of 8 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 6 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Makes limited appeal. AW wins include one here but he's easy enough to oppose in current form; tries cheekpieces.

4th (6) (13/2 -8%) Reputation
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(6) Reputation 13/2, Back on scoreboard here in November and acquitted himself well since, latest when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Multiple winning veteran who has been running well for a while now; solid chance.
5th

5th (2) (5/1 +50%) Shaw Park
5
5/1(+50%)
(2) Shaw Park 5/1, Three wins from 23 runs last year. Eighth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. Extended losing sequence on the AW to 21 when down the field over C&D a month ago.
6th

6th (1) (33/1 -175%) Kodi Red
33
33/1(-175%)
(1) Kodi Red 33/1, Took a step back in right direction, back with former yard, when fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 17 days ago. Claims if building on that. All wins at sprint trips, he's not in great form and hasn't run well here in the past.
7th

7th (5) (14/1 +30%) Woodleigh
14
14/1(+30%)
(5) Woodleigh 14/1, Last of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 16 days ago. Something to find on form. Not a lot to shout about in four starts since returning from a break.

|F| (3) (10/1 +17%) No Saint
10
10/1(+17%)
(3) No Saint 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 28/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Triple winner but finished down the field in both his runs for this yard.
15:42 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Tea Sea successfully completed a double when scoring over a mile here at the start of the month, but a 2lb rise makes life tougher and FISTRAL BEACH is preferred. John Mackie's four-year-old grabbed third towards the finish over C&D last week and could defy her 2lb higher mark to shed the maiden tag. Reputation is holding his form well at present and is another to keep an eye on.
The hat-trick seeking TEA SEA still looks feasibly treated and can extend his winning run. Reputation and Kodi Red may provide the chief threat.
Not many in here arrive in much form but that's not the case with TEA SEA (nap) who has every chance of completing a hat-trick.
(5) Overnight Oats 2/1, Bagged a 4-timer at the end of 2024 and acquitted himself well in both starts this year, latest when creditable fifth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Expected to be bang there. Completed four-timer in December; continued in pretty good heart and might not be far away.

2nd (1) (9/4 +50%) Cliffcake
2.25
9/4(+50%)
(1) Cliffcake 9/4, Four-time course winner who may have needed outing, back from 10 weeks off, when respectable seventh of 12 in handicap over C&D 33 days ago. Figures off a handy mark and must enter calculations. His form has gone the wrong way but this four-time course winner is on a dangerous mark.

3rd (4) (3/1 -33%) Soames Forsyte
3
3/1(-33%)
(4) Soames Forsyte 3/1, Given a chance by the assessor and got back to winning ways in 11-runner handicap over C&D 16 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and ought to go well again. Won over C&D 16 days ago and he remains well treated back up 4lb; lots to like.

4th (8) (18/1 +0%) Available Angel
18
18/1(+0%)
(8) Available Angel 18/1, Two wins from 45 Flat runs. Ran one of her better races when creditable fourth of 8 in handicap over C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. This looks tougher, though. 2 lb out of the weights. 0-23 on AW but some fair form in the last few months and she's in with an each-way shout.
5th

5th (6) (12/1 -50%) Thanks Dad
12
12/1(-50%)
(6) Thanks Dad 12/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 44 days ago. Not out of things. 0-13 but some fair efforts in final few months of last year and he's an each-way possible.
6th

6th (7) (10/1 +44%) King Of York
10
10/1(+44%)
(7) King Of York 10/1, C&D winner. Two wins from 43 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2024. Seventh of 8 in handicap at this C&D (13/2) 7 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Modest strike-rate and inconsistent but won this last year and capable of going well.
7th

7th (3) (25/1 +0%) Harry Magnus
25
25/1(+0%)
(3) Harry Magnus 25/1, Last of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 40 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on 1st time. Plenty to find on form. Has tumbled down the weights but for good reason; has been struggling.
16:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SOAMES FORSYTE regained the winning thread in good style over track and trip earlier in the month and is only 4lb higher. Michael Herrington's six-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that performance in order to go in again. Available Angel attempted to make every yard of the running when fading into fourth over C&D last week and might get into contention, while Cliffcake also makes some appeal.
SOAMES FORSYTE returned to the winners enclosure here earlier this month and still looks fairly treated on old form. He can follow up. Overnight Oats and Cliffcake are also of interest.
Recent C&D winner SOAMES FORSYTE remains on a handy mark back up 4lb and can follow up. King Of York is feared most.
