1	3 1st (3) (15/2 +6%) Star Flyer		7.5 15/2(+6%)																															(3) Star Flyer 15/2, Decent placed efforts on first 2 starts over fences this season but proved something of a let-down last time at Catterick. Needs to get back on track with first-time cheekpieces added. Improved form in first 2 handicap chases, at 2m4f and 3m, but off-day last time out.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 -50%) My Gift To You		2.25 9/4(-50%)																															(2) My Gift To You 9/4, Immediate improvement over hurdles upon joining James Owen last year and has looked better still switched to fences the last twice, latterly landing a C&D handicap (soft) in ready fashion. 5 lb rise looks manageable and he makes plenty of appeal. 2-2 over fences, the latest over C&D; another hurdle win since; good claims.
3	4 3rd (4) (12/1 -71%) Abaya Du Mathan		12 12/1(-71%)																															(4) Abaya Du Mathan 12/1, Has benefited from the change of scenery/fitting of cheekpieces, hitting the crossbar on first 2 starts for this yard before misfiring at Bangor in December. Quickly bounced back by winning a match here (15.8f, soft) recently and this veteran needs considering. Beat chase debutant over 2m here latest; still below last June's winning mark; competitive.
4	5 4th (5) (8/1 -167%) File Illico		8 8/1(-167%)																															(5) File Illico 8/1, Won 4 times during a very productive first season over fences in 2021/22. Struggled last season and also well held on first 3 starts of present campaign but more like it when third of 11 at Hereford (21f, soft) latest and will be a threat if able to build on that. Right down weights; best run for a while when close 3rd at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft).
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +40%) Jack Doyen		12 12/1(+40%)																															(6) Jack Doyen 12/1, Scored over fences at Warwick last spring but hasn't been in the same form since and connections now turn to blinkers in search of a solution. Chase winner at 2m4f last March; struggling this winter; now tries a headgear switch.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 +12%) Boys Of Wexford		22 22/1(+12%)																															(10) Boys Of Wexford 22/1, Now just 1 lb above the mark off which he hit the target at Uttoxeter last season but he hasn't shown enough in 3 starts since returning to action in November to suggest that a return to form is imminent. Won 2m4f chase in late 2022; fair form after but hasn't looked the same horse this winter.
7th	9 7th (9) (12/1 +14%) Samatian		12 12/1(+14%)																															(9) Samatian 12/1, Just the one success from 16 runs over hurdles and it's hard to draw positives from his chase debut at Hereford last month. Not badly treated on best hurdle form; didn't do enough on chase debut to fancy for this.
7	7 |PU| (7) (4/1 +80%) Bells Of Stamford		4 4/1(+80%)																															(7) Bells Of Stamford 4/1, Made the frame on first 2 starts over fences before showing improvement for a wind op/fitting of a tongue strap when striking at Warwick last February. However, he hasn't shown much in 2 starts so far this season and now has a bit to prove. Came clear over 2m4f (good) last February; poor form on heavy of late; bolder show today.
11	11 |PU| (11) (10/1 +60%) She Has Notions		10 10/1(+60%)																															(11) She Has Notions 10/1, Little in the way of solid form over hurdles and while he wasn't entirely disgraced starting out in this sphere at Hereford recently, there wasn't enough promise in that to make him of real interest here. Well beaten on recent 2m chase debut and no great appeal returned to 2m4f.
8	8 |PU| (8) (18/1 -177%) Cloudy Wednesday		18 18/1(-177%)																															(8) Cloudy Wednesday 18/1, Generally held his form well during a busy period in first half of last year, bagging handicap chases at Fakenham and Huntingdon, and placed on several other occasions. Reappearance spin over hurdles 3 weeks ago will have blown away the cobwebs and he needs a second look. Two chase wins (2m5f/2m4f) and all placings on good ground; just above latest winning mark.
12	12 |PU| (12) (25/1 +24%) Bolberry Down		25 25/1(+24%)																															(12) Bolberry Down 25/1, Poor/unreliable maiden hurdler who was pulled up on chase debut at Worcester when last seen 6 months ago. Placed 4 times over hurdles; quiet start to chase career when pulled up in August.
1	1 |PU| (1) (66/1 -65%) Pawpaw		66 66/1(-65%)																															(1) Pawpaw 66/1, Scored twice for David Bridgwater last spring but he needs to bounce back in a major way following a trio of dismal efforts since joining present yard. Two chase wins at 2m5f; form has nosedived on various ground since last June.

LTO Selection:

13:55 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

MY GIFT TO YOU has won over fences at Fakenham and over hurdles at this venue in recent months. A 5lb rise for the gelding's latest success looks far from insurmountable and a hat-trick could be in the offing. Last month's Hereford third File Illico finished behind a subsequent winner that day and he's dangerous to discount, while Cloudy Wednesday should prove more competitive on this return to chasing.

MY GIFT TO YOU has done little wrong since joining the James Owen yard and he is taken to make it 3-3 over fences on the back of a thoroughly decisive C&D success 16 days ago. Next on the list is File Illico, who has dropped to a potentially very handy mark and his latest third at Hereford represented a step back in the right direction. The 12-y-o Abaya du Mathan and Cloudy Wednesday are others to consider.

There's a lot to be said for File Illico after his recent return to form but unexposed MY GIFT TO YOU remains on the upgrade.

1	11 1st (11) (10/3 +5%) Teorie		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(11) Teorie 10/3, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in Ireland for Jim Bolger. Overcame some sloppy jumps to run out a ready winner on his recent Catterick hurdle debut in December. Disappointed next time but back under a fully-fledged jockey now. Flat win; won well on hurdling debut; turned over at 4-9 next time; should have potential.
2	5 2nd (5) (18/1 -13%) Diskatek		18 18/1(-13%)																															(5) Diskatek 18/1, €52,000 3-y-o, Maxios gelding. Half-brother to 6f-9f winner abroad Dormio. Dam, 1m/9f winner in Germany, half-sister to fairly useful 2¼m hurdle winner in France Diplomat. Wears hood. 52,000euros 3yo; has German Flat pedigree; hooded for this debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (1/3 +42%) Act Of Authority		0.333333 1/3(+42%)																															(1) Act Of Authority 1/3, Point winner who was runner-up in both bumpers last season. Two from three over hurdles, having loads in hand when landing the odds at Bangor a couple of months ago, and he's fancied to defy a double penalty for his thriving yard. Sets a clear standard with all three pieces of form, including two easy wins at Bangor.
4	3 4th (3) (66/1 -230%) Arabescato		66 66/1(-230%)																															(3) Arabescato 66/1, Fairly useful handicapper on Flat (poor effort on latest start in that sphere). Made mistakes on sole hurdling outing but now makes first start for bang-in-form stable. Fairly useful stayer on Flat but lost his form; sole run over hurdles (2022) was modest.
5th	6 5th (6) (28/1 -12%) Express Surprise		28 28/1(-12%)																															(6) Express Surprise 28/1, Runner-up sole outing in Irish points (Feb 26) and not disgraced when fifth of 13 in a bumper at Newbury on Rules debut. Likely to be brought along gradually in this sphere, though. Second when favourite for his only Irish point; 50-1, 29l fifth of 13 in Newbury bumper.
6th	2 6th (2) (6/1 +8%) Tommie Gun		6 6/1(+8%)																															(2) Tommie Gun 6/1, From a good jumping family and built on bumper promise to make a successful debut over hurdles in 13-runner novice event at Southwell in December. Only fourth at Leicester since but far from one to be writing off. Won C&D maiden (good to soft); heavy ground may explain a lesser show on latest outing.
7th	10 7th (10) (66/1 -560%) Pillar Rock		66 66/1(-560%)																															(10) Pillar Rock 66/1, Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Monviel and French hurdler Wealth. Down the field in a Newbury bumper but given an 85-day break ahead of this hurdling debut. 10-1 for bumper at Newbury (2m, good to soft), racing freely, green and never dangerous.
8th	9 8th (9) (200/1 -300%) Pic The Power		200 200/1(-300%)																															(9) Pic The Power 200/1, Dropped away tamely when last of 8 in a Fakenham bumper 81 days ago. Can only be watched now switching to hurdles. 17-2 from 4-1, remote last of eight in bumper at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in November.
9th	7 9th (7) (300/1 -20%) Haafback		300 300/1(-20%)																															(7) Haafback 300/1, Offered little in a pair of bumpers early in 2022 and pulled up in novice at Wincanton on hurdling debut, so hard to imagine he'll make much of an impact. Achieved little in two bumpers and pulled up in a maiden hurdle.
8	8 |F| (8) (100/1 -100%) Ill Reef		100 100/1(-100%)																															(8) Ill Reef 100/1, Fairly useful form in bumpers. Won at Le Lion-d'Angers (by 8 lengths from Iron Sacre) in 2022/23. Only 26 lengths sixth of 7 to Jaguar du Large at Durtal last time. Has left Nick Littmoden ahead of this hurdling bow (also hooded). Did not go on in French bumpers (won debut); 6,500euros buy in November.
4	4 |PU| (4) (80/1 -142%) Buzzbee		80 80/1(-142%)																															(4) Buzzbee 80/1, Black Sam Bellamy gelding. Dam (h131) bumper/19f-3m hurdle winner, also 1¾m winner who stayed 2m on Flat. Worth monitoring in the betting. Second foal; dam bumper, 1m6f Flat and fairly useful 2m3f/3m hurdle winner.

14:25 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ACT OF AUTHORITY made light work of a drop in class when securing a second victory over hurdles at Bangor in December. Although Olly Murphy's charge does have to shoulder a double penalty in this event, Dylan Johnston's 7lb claim could prove invaluable. Teorie was too free when only fourth at Musselburgh last month, but he may give the selection most to think about if settling better, with Tommie Gun completing the shortlist.

ACT OF AUTHORITY, an expensive point recruit, has looked a good prospect so far over hurdles and he can take his tally to three in this sphere at the likely expense of Teorie, who should benefit from the return of Paddy Brennan. Tommie Gun is considered, too.

Teorie and Tommie Gun have won in this sphere but ACT OF AUTHORITY has shown something or a higher order and can win again.

1	2 1st (2) (11/2 +45%) Tequila Blaze		5.5 11/2(+45%)																															(2) Tequila Blaze 11/2, Fair handicap hurdler who has slipped in the weights and possibly needed the run when seventh of 14 in a handicap at Doncaster (24.4f, good to soft) 48 days ago. Pulled up in April 2022 and has not fired in her seven races since; one attempt this term.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 -33%) Shesupincourt		10 10/1(-33%)																															(7) Shesupincourt 10/1, Dual winner at up to 23.6f this term but produced a laboured effort when pulled up at Leicester 10 days ago. Bounce back called for. Won twice this winter; needs to bounce back from a poor show ten days ago.
3	8 3rd (8) (8/1 +50%) Fortuitous Favour		8 8/1(+50%)																															(8) Fortuitous Favour 8/1, Bumper winner but comfortably held all 4 outings over hurdles, including in a first-time tongue strap on handicap debut at Fontwell 52 days ago. Something to prove. Way behind the first three when tongue tied on handicap debut (upped to 2m6f, heavy).
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 -15%) Brianna Rose		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(3) Brianna Rose 15/2, Consistent hurdler who initially took well to chasing, scoring in a match at Uttoxeter before runner-up in a handicap at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) in July. However, poor efforts both starts since and it remains to be seen whether a return to hurdling sparks a revival. Two poor shows this winter; back to hurdling off a competitive mark judged on last season.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 -11%) Do You Think		10 10/1(-11%)																															(4) Do You Think 10/1, Posted best effort since her winning chase debut at Hereford in November 2022 when hitting the crossbar at that course on her seasonal reappearance. Looked held when unseating back there in December but has a lower mark to work with back over hurdles. Looked well below form latest; 7lb lower for the return to hurdling; big say on chase form.
1	1 |PU| (1) (7/2 -100%) Minniemum		3.5 7/2(-100%)																															(1) Minniemum 7/2, Tends to take a strong hold but ran her best race when second of 14 over 3m at Doncaster in December. Looked all set to go one better when unseating her rider at the last at Catterick subsequently and seems highly likely to give another good account. About 4l clear when unseating at the final flight at Catterick (3m1f, soft) latest; up 5lb.
5	5 |PU| (5) (7/2 +0%) Clararose		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(5) Clararose 7/2, Runner-up on her final start in bumpers last season and encouraging third on hurdling debut. Yet to build on that but could prove a different proposition upped markedly in trip for handicap debut. May show something new given a very different trip (upped from 2m) for this handicap debut.
11	11 |PU| (11) (8/1 +68%) Harkangel		8 8/1(+68%)																															(11) Harkangel 8/1, Some promise when fourth of 14 in a 21f Sedgefield handicap on reappearance in November but comfortably held at Ffos Las and Doncaster since. Has work to do. Four handicaps (2m, 2m5f, 2m4f and 3m); 5lb out of the weights; 5lb claimer is recruited.
9	9 |PU| (9) (16/1 +20%) Sinurita		16 16/1(+20%)																															(9) Sinurita 16/1, Modest maiden hurdler who failed to build on the promise of last run when failing to beat a rival in 10-runner handicap at Taunton (19f, good to soft, 10/1) 64 days ago. Up in trip. Second at Bangor (2m3f, good) last August but only one echo of that since; new trip.

14:55 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

MINNIEMUM unseated Richard Patrick at the last at Catterick on her most recent outing and can put the record straight here. The Henry Daly-trained mare was well in command at the time and, given the handicapper still put her up 5lb, she looks to be the most intriguing option. The unexposed Clararose, who goes handicapping for the first time, is feared most, while Ya Know Yaseff is the pick of the rest.

MINNIEMUM had the race at her mercy when unseating her rider at the final flight at Catterick last time and can gain compensation. Handicap-debutante Clararose is very interesting upped markedly in trip given her earlier promise. Tequila Blaze could also figure off her reduced mark.

Shesupincourt has won two of her last four starts but MINNIEMUM is taken to make amends for her last-hurdle unseat at Catterick.

1	2 1st (2) (10/3 +0%) Globe Player		3.333333 10/3(+0%)																															(2) Globe Player 10/3, Fair form when third in 2 maiden hurdles in the autumn. Not at the same level when beaten 26 lengths into third on his 20.5f course handicap debut in December but he remains unexposed now stepping up in trip with cheekpieces added. Favourite for handicap debut here (2m4f) but floundered; cheekpieces go on.
2	9 2nd (9) (28/1 -40%) Fox's Socks		28 28/1(-40%)																															(9) Fox's Socks 28/1, Well-beaten third in 20.5f course handicap chase on his debut for this yard in September but ran poorly at Doncaster (2m) since and likely best watched back hurdling with stamina far from assured. Back over hurdles today and unraced beyond 2m4f; 5lb out of the handicap.
3	4 3rd (4) (16/1 +20%) Diger Daudaie		16 16/1(+20%)																															(4) Diger Daudaie 16/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Charlie Longsdon earlier in his career but bled on his final start in 2020/21 and comfortably held in 2 outings for new yard since returning from an absence. After 994 days off, did not show enough at 40-1 in two runs for new yard; market can guide.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 -13%) Myfanwy's Magic		4.5 9/2(-13%)																															(3) Myfanwy's Magic 9/2, Big step forward at the second attempt over hurdles when runner-up in Warwick novice (2m, heavy) in November. Not in quite same form at Ludlow since but goes handicapping off a workable mark. Further improvement may well be possible over this much longer trip on handicap debut.
6	6 |PU| (6) (5/4 +29%) Zwicky		1.25 5/4(+29%)																															(6) Zwicky 5/4, Won 3 times in and handicap company last year and shaped well when third in a big field at Doncaster in November. Not seen to best effect when third in a steadily-run Hexham handicap in December and no surprise were he to resume his progression now stepping up in trip with Harry Cobden up. Respected for sequence this season and makes plenty of appeal over this longer trip.
1	1 |PU| (1) (11/2 +15%) Jaramillo		5.5 11/2(+15%)																															(1) Jaramillo 11/2, Unreliable individual who struggled in 3 outings (2 hurdle, 1 Flat) in 2023. Possible he needed the outing after a break at Ascot just before Christmas but he's a hard one to be confident about. Struggled since February win; 203 days off before latest; not proven beyond 2m4f.
7	7 |PU| (7) (22/1 -175%) Ithaka		22 22/1(-175%)																															(7) Ithaka 22/1, Landed a gamble in a Wincanton handicap hurdle in March. There's been little to shout about since but his mark has come back down and he needs keeping a close eye on in the betting in a change of headgear (tongue tie off, first-time hood on). Standout effort when a well-backed winner last March (2m5f, good to soft); hooded today.
5	5 |PU| (5) (28/1 -100%) Zettabyte		28 28/1(-100%)																															(5) Zettabyte 28/1, Modest maiden hurdler in Ireland who was second in a maiden chase there in October. First outing since leaving Gordon Elliott when well held in Wincanton handicap hurdle 3 weeks ago. Cheekpieces refitted. Needs to have come on a fair bit. 0-9 for Gordon Elliott; heavy defeat at 50-1 on debut for new yard; usual cheekpieces back.
8	8 |PU| (8) (66/1 -100%) Massons Castle		66 66/1(-100%)																															(8) Massons Castle 66/1, Hurdles winner in Ireland. Remote second in course handicap chase on his yard debut in September and pulled up both starts since. Tongue strap refitted on this return to hurdling. Lots to prove. Pulled up chasing on last two starts, when soft/heavy ground may have been against him.

15:25 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Proven at this sort of level, ZWICKY has progressed this season and, based on his potential for further improvement now that he steps up in trip, the seven-year-old earns the vote. With stamina more proven than some, Diger Daudaie also enters calculations, while Ithaka hasn't enjoyed much luck in recent starts but has faced stiffer tests, so cannot be ruled out. The betting can guide to Myfanwy's Magic, who takes a big step up in trip here.

ZWICKY's latest third in a muddling race at Hexham probably shouldn't be taken to suggest his progress has levelled off and he gets the nod now stepping up to 3m under Harry Cobden. Although Globe Player was a well-held third on his course handicap debut last month he retains potential as a lightly-raced type and is feared most unless the betting speaks for Ithaka.

This could be a weak race and ZWICKY (nap) may well have an excellent chance to register his third win this season.

1	3 1st (3) (10/3 -77%) Hobb's Delight		3.333333 10/3(-77%)																															(3) Hobb's Delight 10/3, Improved when dead-heating on Fontwell handicap debut (19f, soft) on Boxing Day and backed that up when second of 12 over C&D 16 days ago. Nudged up 4 lb but he's unexposed as a stayer and may have more to come. Dead-heated for first at Fontwell (2m3f) and good second of 12 over C&D; firmly in the mix.
2	7 2nd (7) (15/2 -67%) Fantomas		7.5 15/2(-67%)																															(7) Fantomas 15/2, Chase winner last season. Best effort over hurdles this term when second of 11 over C&D in October. Off since but claims if resuming in similar form. Bits of 2023 hurdles form give him a chance, including his C&D second in October latest.
3	2 3rd (2) (20/1 +9%) Ballynaheer		20 20/1(+9%)																															(2) Ballynaheer 20/1, Runner-up on his completed outing in points. Beaten a long way in maiden hurdles but could come into his own now handicapping over longer distances. Has not shown much over hurdles but tries a new trip on this handicap debut.
4	6 4th (6) (16/1 +43%) Release The Kraken		16 16/1(+43%)																															(6) Release The Kraken 16/1, Modest maiden hurdler for Nicky Richards. Failed to complete all 3 starts for Laura Morgan last winter and pulled up on Ludlow stable debut in November. Can only watch. Thrown in on old form; failed to complete in three runs for L Morgan and one for new yard.
5th	5 5th (5) (8/1 +0%) Inchester D'amsyl		8 8/1(+0%)																															(5) Inchester D'amsyl 8/1, Maiden who showed a bit first 2 starts in novice hurdles. Yet to kick on in handicaps but shaped as if better for the run following 5 months off when fifth at Exeter (21.5f) 6 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Three handicaps; fifth of 15 at Exeter (2m5f) latest was a bit more encouraging; new trip.
6th	4 6th (4) (80/1 -300%) Matoury		80 80/1(-300%)																															(4) Matoury 80/1, Well held in bumpers but shaped with some encouragement when third in a pair of Market Rasen novice hurdles last summer. Looks on a competitive mark if he's ready to roll after 7 months off. Better over hurdles than in bumpers; off since June and improvement is still needed.
7th	1 7th (1) (5/1 -82%) Getaway Glory		5 5/1(-82%)																															(1) Getaway Glory 5/1, Winning Irish pointer with a good pedigree and has shown clear ability in his 3 qualifying runs and rates a likely improver now handicapping over this much longer trip. Also tongue tied first time. No great shock were he to come into his own in tongue-tie over new trip on handicap debut.
8	8 |F| (8) (2/1 +64%) Hermes Le Gris		2 2/1(+64%)																															(8) Hermes Le Gris 2/1, Disappointing in handicap hurdles and 2 chases for Warren Greatrex in the first half of last year but has been the subject of a very interesting trainer change ahead of his reappearance. Market confidence would look significant. 0-12; left Warren Greatrex for £2,500 in October; back over hurdles, without the hood.
9	9 |PU| (9) (8/1 +71%) Hammer Dan		8 8/1(+71%)																															(9) Hammer Dan 8/1, Has yet to show much, including on 2m Uttoxeter handicap debut after wind surgery. Steps up significantly in trip after a further 4 months off. Could only consider if backed. Beaten at least 30l in a bumper and four attempts over hurdles; much longer trip this time.

16:00 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied over this course and distance 16 days ago, HOBB'S DELIGHT could go one better if he copes with a 4lb rise imposed for that near miss. Fantomas also posted a solid effort when second over C&D when last seen and can go well on his first run since October. Matoury is unexposed as a stayer and completes the shortlist.

Robbie Llewellyn is making a name for himself with new recruits and HERMES LE GRIS appeals as another who might be turned around by a switch to the Wiltshire-based handler. Market support for handicap newcomer Getaway Glory would make him a possible big threat. Recent C&D runner-up Hobb's Delight is also respected in an interesting finale.

The most solid claims belong to HOBB'S DELIGHT who has been first and second in handicaps on his last two starts, the latter over C&D.
