Ziggy's Condor

4/1(+38%)
(2) Ziggy's Condor 4/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at this course (7.1f) 28 days ago. First-time visor needs to spark an improvement.
0-11 since debut win but has possibilities off current mark provided he takes to visor.

(1) Cargin Bhui 5/2, Finished last season with a respectable third of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good). Drops back in trip for reappearance and others appear to have stronger claims.
Low-mileage 4yo; gained his sole win when fresh and looks interesting on reappearance.

(3) Beale Street 5/1, Thriving at present, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) 13 days ago with plenty in hand. Up 4 lb but could well have more to offer.
Steadily progressive at Newcastle since dropped back to 6f, winning three times.

(4) Dark Side Thunder 9/1, 4-time C&D winner was back to form when last seen in October, finishing creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6.1f), having met trouble in running. Off 127 days but has gone well fresh previously. Merits consideration.
Four C&D wins; did well to finish fourth, having met plenty of trouble, when last seen.

(8) Northcliff 15/2, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Creditable 1¼ lengths fourth of 9 to Mumayaz in handicap at this course (6.1f, 11/4) 16 days ago. Arrives in good heart.
Two encouraging efforts this year, latest over C&D behind Mumayaz (met trouble late on).

(5) Mumayaz 6/1, 4-time C&D winner. Far from disgraced under a penalty when fourth of 12 in handicap (8/1) at this course (6.1f). Should be competitive once again.
Ran creditably last week when bidding for hat-trick; scored over C&D the time before.

(6) My Awele 22/1, Not seen to best effect in recent runs, below form when fourth of 5 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/2) 39 days ago but does boast a healthy record at this track, having won 2 of her 3 starts. One for the shortlist.
May resume her progress back at Southwell, being 2-3 here (0-6 elsewhere).

Has become inconsistent and latest defeat took his record for current yard to 0-12.

(9) Royal Musketeer 20/1, Won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton following 4-month break on penultimate start but not quite in the same form when fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 32 days ago. Could bounce back but he may be most effective when fresh.
No apparent excuses when unplaced favourite last time; now back up in grade.

16:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

BEALE STREET scored with more in hand than the winning margin suggests when landing the spoils over this trip at Newcastle recently and he should prove tough to stop despite a 4lb rise. Dark Side Thunder wasn't seen to best effect when fourth over C&D last time out but it wasn't a poor effort and he commands respect off an unchanged mark, while this drop to 6f could see Cargin Bhui go well.

BEALE STREET moved through the race in the manner of a well-handicapped horse when winning at Newcastle earlier this month, and he may be able to defy a 4 lb rise. Two-time course winner My Awele could bounce back to form for a return to this track, while fellow C&D winners Dark Side Thunder and Mumayaz are also worthy of consideration.

Back down in trip with new headgear fitted, ZIGGY'S CONDOR gets the vote. Cargin Bhui is second choice.

Dividend

2.75
11/4(-57%)
(1) Dividend 11/4, Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Career best when winning 11-runner novice at Kempton (8f, 11/2), travelled well and asserted close home. Chance if ready to roll after 156-day absence.
Absent since Kempton novice win (AW debut) in September, taking record to 2-5.

City Of God

5/4(+29%)
(5) City Of God 5/4, Cosily won 10-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f) last month, always in command. Failed to justify favouritism when only narrowly beaten by another improver on handicap debut last month and he could well make amends racing off the same mark (due to race off 2lb higher in future).
Ran well at Wolverhampton last week and is due to go up 2lb in future; respected.

Finished third in C&D maiden last time; open to progress now handicapping.

Justified favouritism in Lingfield maiden eight weeks ago; may build on that win.

(3) Chesneys Charm 12/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win at Newcastle in October. Creditable second of 6 in nursery (7/4) at Newcastle (8f) in November. Gelded since and warrants respect given excellent record on the AW.
Final 2yo effort took his AW record to 11412; gelded since; solid contender.

17:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DIVIDEND appeared to relish the step up to this trip when running out a taking winner at Kempton last September and, provided he is fully tuned up on his return from an absence, he looks the one to beat. Chesneys Charm went down narrowly over a mile at Newcastle when last seen and a bold bid looks likely off 1lb higher. City Of God is also respected.

CITY OF GOD, due to race off a 2 lb higher mark in future, can make amends having been denied by a fellow improving sort on handicap debut 10 days ago. Dividend caught the eye with a smooth-travelling victory at Kempton when last seen, he's feared ahead of San Juanito who may improve for the switch to handicaps.

All of the runners can be viewed positively. The highest points go to CITY OF GOD, ahead of San Juanito and Dividend.

Knuckled down well for half-length win in C&D maiden 45 days ago; open to progress.

Form of Kempton effort has substance; interesting with improvement on the cards.

(7) Mullwarchar 28/1, 9/2, still green and failed to progress from debut when fifth of 9 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 weeks ago, running on. His future surely lies over further than this.
Holds a fighting chance on the bare form he's shown at Wolverhampton and Lingfield.

Recorded a modest RPR at Lingfield but shaped encouragingly and may improve.

17:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CAVOLO NERO scored in the style of a promising individual when landing the spoils over this track and trip on his debut last month and, with the promise of more to come, he gets the vote to bring up a double. Bozeman caught the eye when staying on into fifth over this trip at Kempton on his debut and the son of Mehmas warrants the utmost respect for the Ralph Beckett team. Western Ruler is respected too.

CAVOLO NERO proved very professional when making a winning debut over C&D just over 6 weeks ago and, with improvement on the cards, James Ferguson's charge gets the nod to remain unbeaten at the expense of Bozeman, who was left poorly placed but showed plenty to work on when fifth at Kempton on debut last month. Andrew Balding saddles a couple of newcomers and market support should be noted.

As regards the runners with experience, C&D winner Cavolo Nero holds obvious claims while BOZEMAN is an interesting alternative.

Capable of being involved but is still seeking first win away from Doncaster.

Has form figures of 131, all at Southwell, since dropped back to 7f; warrants respect.

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ten Commitments is effective over 7f and is notable debuting for Scott Dixon off 6lb higher than his Kempton success over a mile when last seen. However, the thriving SOAMES FORSYTE is hard to overlook after scoring comprehensively over C&D 16 days ago. His revised rating demands more but his proven course form earns him the vote. Onemorenomore can also figure for a place.

SOAMES FORSYTE added a second success this winter to his tally over C&D earlier in the month and, remaining well treated on old form, Michael Herrington's 6-y-o can make it 3 wins from his last 4 outings. The main threat may emerge from Ten Commitments, who was last seen in winning action at Kempton in October and has since joined Scott Dixon. Onemorenomore is picked for third.

In-form SOAMES FORSYTE (nap) is taken to record another C&D success. Chola Empire is second pick.

(3) King Of Ithaca 11/4, Successful twice over C&D last year and remained in good heart, looking a shade unlucky in coming from a long way back when close-up third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 39 days ago. Capable of defying this sort of mark on that evidence and he's shortlisted here.

Good second at Newcastle last week and is due to go up 1lb in future; respected.

(8) Bomb Squad 11/1, Enjoying a fine winter, resuming winning ways in 10-runner C&D handicap 7 days ago, leading final 1f and keeping on. Clearly in rude health but this a more demanding assignment under a penalty.
All wins in Class 6, latest over C&D last week; no certainty to defy a 4lb penalty.

Good spell last August-October featured two wins; disappointing on final outing.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

KING OF ITHACA has won with Rossa Ryan in the saddle before and being reunited with that in-form jockey is a highly persuasive aspect in the favour of the five-year-old. Allied to that, he is already a dual C&D winner that has fared very well with a plumb draw in stall one. Cliffcake made all to win over 6f here last time and should also figure if the cheekpieces have the same impact second time around. Mereside Madness and Bomb Squad are others with place possibilities.

Having bagged a second C&D success in November, KING OF ITHACA again ran well and could arguably be considered a shade unlucky when third at Kempton on his latest start 39 days ago, just failing having come from a long way back. He can confirm the promise of that effort and resume winning ways. Cliffcake and Mereside Madness head up the dangers in a competitive heat.

Preference is for KING OF ITHACA, who has solid C&D form. Mereside Madness is second choice.

Some fair runs this winter but now 0-10 and others arrive with more compelling credentials.

19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The family tradition of excelling with middle-distance horses has only been enhanced since Charlie Johnston took over the training license from his father, and although SAX APPEAL has limitations, he is still on a feasible mark and this could be a good piece of placement as he bids to complete a hat-trick off just 4lb higher than for the latest of his two recent Wolverhampton successes. Charlie's Choice also won at the same venue latest and is feared most under a 5lb penalty. Hitched is another solid option.

SAX APPEAL has been revitalised by the application of blinkers, registering back-to-back victories over this sort of trip at Wolverhampton in recent weeks, and he looks up to completing the hat-trick. David Simcock's fellow in-form pair Charlie's Choice and Hitched can provide chief resistance.

Having posted two convincing wins at Wolverhampton since the blinkers went on, SAX APPEAL can make it 3-3 in the headgear.

19:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

TRIBAL ACT impressed when coming away to record a wide margin success at Kempton last month and the son of Sea The Stars, who is related to a couple of useful types, looks more than capable of defying a penalty. Paratrooper kept on into second over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on his debut but he can be more potent now upped in trip, while Lady Vivian, who cost 160,000gns as a yearling, warrants a market check having spent 107 days on the sidelines.

TRIBAL ACT looked good in a maiden over this trip at Kempton last month and looks up to defying a penalty. Paratrooper is the obvious chief threat after his encouraging debut at Wolverhampton at the beginning of the month. Lady Vivian has the potential to leave her Lingfield debut behind for Ralph Beckett, while well-bred William Haggas newcomer Luxmundi needs monitoring in the betting.

Godolphin's TRIBAL ACT was impressive at Kempton last month on his second start and can defy a penalty and follow up.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The draw hasn't been kind to Sun Keeper, who must shoulder a penalty having opened her account at Wolverhampton recently. She merits respect nonetheless though, but it is HYPE MERCHANT that shades preference. David Loughnane's charge struck the crossbar over 7f on his seasonal return at Chelmsford recently but with a drop in trip likely to suit, he can go one place better. Any market support for handicap debutant Martha Costello would be noteworthy.

Dropping back to 6f should help HYPE MERCHANT, who stepped up on his low-key 2-y-o turf form when runner-up on recent all-weather debut back from a break over 7f at Chelmsford. He makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here. Due Respect failed to justify favouritism when fourth in a handicap on that same Chelmsford card 15 das ago but she's now 2 lb lower and looks dangerous, while recent Wolverhampton scorer Sun Keeper and Bank On Kent are others with claims.

The in-form Alice Haynes struck with SUN KEEPER at Wolverhampton last week and this unexposed filly can follow up under a penalty.

About U.K Horse Racing

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

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

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

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

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

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