14:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (14/1 +0%) Airshow	14 14/1(+0%)	(5) Airshow 14/1, Course winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Took a step back in the right direction when sixth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at Kempton (6f) 23 days ago. Has finished well held on both previous starts over 7f though, so others appeal more with the usual cheekpieces left off.
2	2 2nd (2) (3.33/1 +63%) Barney's Bay	3.33 3.33/1(+63%)	(2) Barney's Bay 3.33/1, Course winner. Twenty three runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 4 weeks ago. More required.
3	1 3rd (1) (3.33/1 -11%) Ring Of Gold	3.33 3.33/1(-11%)	(1) Ring Of Gold 3.33/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. 9/4, shaped as if still in good form when third of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 30 days ago, never nearer after forced to switch entering final 1f. Shortlist material.
4	9 4th (9) (16/1 +68%) Bayraat	16 16/1(+68%)	(9) Bayraat 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 12/1, ran poorly when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) over 4 months ago. Others look stronger.
5th	6 5th (6) (3/1 +45%) Big Narstie	3 3/1(+45%)	(6) Big Narstie 3/1, C&D winner in February. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 23 days ago, carrying head awkwardly early in straight. Back down in trip. Cheekpieces back on and the booking of Murphy catches the eye.
6th	10 6th (10) (11/1 -175%) Split Elevens	11 11/1(-175%)	(10) Split Elevens 11/1, Unreliable type. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 8/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at this course (8.1f) 17 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Needs things to drop right but certainly not out of things.
7th	4 7th (4) (8/1 -60%) Saisons D'Or	8 8/1(-60%)	(4) Saisons D'Or 8/1, 5/1, built on his reappearance promise to win 9-runner handicap at this C&D 15 days ago, rallying to lead close home after headed 1f out. Nudged up 3 lb and still looks well enough treated.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +13%) Rogue Star	7 7/1(+13%)	(7) Rogue Star 7/1, Ran well when third of 11 in handicap at this C&D (9/1) 17 days ago. Not long with this yard and is interesting from this sort of mark.
9th	3 9th (3) (28/1 -12%) Amber Dew	28 28/1(-12%)	(3) Amber Dew 28/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Too free when last of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 14/1) 52 days ago. Hood on 1st time but tough to see her featuring.
10th	12 10th (12) (66/1 -100%) Sweet Bertie	66 66/1(-100%)	(12) Sweet Bertie 66/1, Hooded for 1st time, ran no better than on return when eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 22/1) 23 days ago. Best watched.
11th	11 11th (11) (66/1 -136%) Caesar Nero	66 66/1(-136%)	(11) Caesar Nero 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Seemed unsuited by the track when fifth of 6 in minor event at Brighton (8f, good, 6/1). Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills (2,000 gns) and has been gelded ahead of this handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

14:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Saisons D'Or battled on gamely to land the spoils here last time out, but a wide draw isn't ideal and a chance can be taken on BIG NARSTIE. Michael Appleby's gelding is well treated judged on past exploits and he should appreciate the return to 7f having won over C&D on his last attempt at the trip, while the booking of Oisin Murphy would appear to signal a statement of intent. Ring Of Gold remains in good form and he should not be underestimated.

Cases can be made for several but the most persuasive is for RING OF GOLD, who wasn't ideally placed when a staying-on third at Kempton earlier this month and, reunited with usual pilot Joanna Mason, he can notch career victory number 4. Both Saisons d'Or and Split Elevens were back to winning ways at this track recently, so they head up the dangers, with Rogue Star rounding off the shortlist.

The consistent Ring Of Gold should go well again but this might fall ideally for SPLIT ELEVENS, who arrives in top form.

Latest at Wolverhampton in December. 9/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 18 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Comes with obvious risks attached but capable if on a going day.
6th	7 6th (7) (6.5/1 +46%) Gustav Holst	6.5 6.5/1(+46%)	(7) Gustav Holst 6.5/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Fared no better back down in trip when sixth of 9 in handicap (15/2) at Chelmsford City (10f) 20 days ago. Significantly back up in trip.

11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 -175%) Chef De Troupe	33 33/1(-175%)	(6) Chef De Troupe 33/1, 3/1, didn't need to improve to win 5-runner claiming hurdle at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 5 months ago, leading soon after 3 out. Enters calculations provided he's fully tuned up back on the Flat.
12th	11 12th (11) (80/1 -21%) Broughtons Mission	80 80/1(-21%)	(11) Broughtons Mission 80/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Sixth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW, 50/1) 27 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It looks best to side with the in-form KISS MY FACE, who kept on strongly to land a similar contest at Newcastle two weeks ago. The gelded son of Nathaniel remains unexposed in this sphere and is open to further progress, so a 5lb rise could prove lenient. Alchemystique bumped into a progressive rival when finishing a good second on her return and she ought to hold every chance if running to a similar level. Others to note include Buford and Bird For Life.

KISS MY FACE didn't need to improve to get off the mark in this sphere at Newcastle a fortnight ago and, given his current mood, a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow up. He gets the nod ahead of Alchemystique, who ran well back on the Flat returning from 9 months off when second at Newcastle earlier this month. King Charles and Chef de Troupe can fight out minor honours.

The most likely winner is KISS MY FACE (nap), who has not seen much Flat action but won on Tapeta last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (2.5/1 +17%) Kodebreaker	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(3) Kodebreaker 2.5/1, Course winner. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 14 days ago, despite ding plenty through early exchanges. Definite possibilities in a very ordinary affair.
2	2 2nd (2) (4/1 +11%) Tom Tulliver	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Tom Tulliver 4/1, In resurgent form in recent weeks, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in a 7f minor event here 15 days ago, leading over 1f out. Claims returned to handicap company in this groove.
3	5 3rd (5) (3.5/1 +50%) Galton	3.5 3.5/1(+50%)	(5) Galton 3.5/1, 4/1 and visored for 1st time, good second of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 16 days ago, no match for winner. Can make presence felt once more.
4	6 4th (6) (5/1 +41%) Urban Road	5 5/1(+41%)	(6) Urban Road 5/1, Maiden who ran well on back of 9 months off when creditable third of 11 in minor event at Newcastle (1m) 16 days ago, leading briefly final 1f but not sustain effort. Entitled to sharpn up for that and he's likely to be in the mix.
5th	7 5th (7) (14/1 -40%) Nivelle's Magic	14 14/1(-40%)	(7) Nivelle's Magic 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 150/1, first run since leaving Henry Candy when fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) 23 days ago, headway on inner entering straight and running on. Task is to build on that now.
6th	8 6th (8) (28/1 +15%) Our Boy Sam	28 28/1(+15%)	(8) Our Boy Sam 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 16/1, first run since leaving William Knight when 7½ lengths seventh of 10 to Tom Tulliver in minor event at this course (7.1f) 15 days ago. Makes handicap debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/1 -125%) Global Tycoon	9 9/1(-125%)	(1) Global Tycoon 9/1, Showed improved form to make wining handicap debut at Kempton (1m) last June. but proved to be a disappointment when well held at Newbury (1m) later that month. It does remain early days however, so interesting what the market makes of him on return.
8th	4 8th (4) (25/1 -257%) Doomsday	25 25/1(-257%)	(4) Doomsday 25/1, 15/2, tenth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f). Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Bryan Smart. Has good chance on pick of form.
9th	9 9th (9) (66/1 -65%) Neverbatsaneyelid	66 66/1(-65%)	(9) Neverbatsaneyelid 66/1, Last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Newcastle (8f) 22 days ago, weakening over 2f out. Needs to step up if she's to play a part here.

LTO Selection:

15:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

NIVELLE'S MAGIC defied odds of 150/1 to finish a close-up fourth on her handicap/stable debut at Lingfield following an eight-month absence, and she can shed the maiden tag with any further improvement. Tom Tulliver has been thriving in classified contests lately and he must be respected back in a handicap. Kodebreaker, who continues to run well in defeat, is fancied to hit the frame.

A number in with a shout including KODEBREAKER who has been acquitting himself with credit from this sort of mark in recent months and this is arguably a shade less demanding than the competition he has faced of late. Tom Tulliver comes here in good order and is feared, along with Urban Road and the returning Doomsday.

In a trappy handicap in which it's hard to be sure where the pace is coming from, the vote goes to the lightly raced NIVELLE'S MAGIC.

2	5 2nd (5) (5.5/1 +45%) How Bizarre	5.5 5.5/1(+45%)	(5) How Bizarre 5.5/1, Unreliable C&D winner. Thirty seven runs since last win in 2020. 9/1, respectable fourth of 10 in classified event at this course (7f) 22 days ago, going off too hard.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -14%) Written Broadcast	2 2/1(-14%)	(1) Written Broadcast 2/1, Course winner in January. Added another win at Wolverhampton (7f) a fortnight ago and a 3 lb nudge doesn't look enough to stop him kept to a 0-55.
4	9 4th (9) (12/1 +25%) Thaayer	12 12/1(+25%)	(9) Thaayer 12/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 10 in classified event at this course (7f) 15 days ago. Others are preferred.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A 3lb rise for Written Broadcast's victory at Wolverhampton is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Ollie Pears' inmate, however, is yet to triumph over a mile so C&D winner INEXPLICABLE shades the vote. The son of Dark Angel returned to form when runner-up at Wolverhampton on Saturday and is turned out quickly before his revised mark kicks in. Crazy Spin should remain competitive on this return to handicap company and is another who warrants consideration.

WRITTEN BROADCAST is in his best form for a couple of years and can defy the handicapper again kept to a 0-55. Inexplicable goes off the same mark as when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and is second choice. Arlo's Sunshine is also handicapped to go close if his new stable has him ready to roll after 7 months off.

The return to 1m won't hurt WRITTEN BROADCAST, having twice chased home a progressive rival over C&D this year.

1	11 1st (11) (8.5/1 +23%) Kape Moss	8.5 8.5/1(+23%)	(11) Kape Moss 8.5/1, Largely consistent but he remains 5 lb above the mark he won off at Goodwood last May and peak fitness has to be taken on trust after 158 days off.
2	10 2nd (10) (4.5/1 -29%) Angle Land	4.5 4.5/1(-29%)	(10) Angle Land 4.5/1, Made it 3 wins from last 4 starts when seeing off 7 rivals at Chelmsford 15 days ago. Second of 14 to Bert Kibbler over C&D prior to that. Nudged up another 4 lb but this thriving sort could easily pull out more.
3	2 3rd (2) (2.25/1 +65%) Khabib	2.25 2.25/1(+65%)	(2) Khabib 2.25/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 14 runs last year. Respectable fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 37 days ago. Needs to get back to his best.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -100%) Spring Is Sprung	14 14/1(-100%)	(8) Spring Is Sprung 14/1, Won a 6f course handicap for Michael Bell on his 2022 reappearance. Found life tougher later in the year but has dropped below that winning mark if a switch to Paul Midgley revives his fortunes. The booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +33%) Bert Kibbler	4 4/1(+33%)	(9) Bert Kibbler 4/1, Third C&D win (and a career best) when seeing off the reopposing Angle Land (who has won since) by 1½ lengths 22 days ago. Has a 5 lb higher mark to contend with now but this front-runner will remain competitive if showing up in similar form.
6th	5 6th (5) (50/1 -127%) Glamorous Breeze	50 50/1(-127%)	(5) Glamorous Breeze 50/1, Won twice on turf last summer. 10/3, eighth of 10 in handicap at Leicester (5f, good to firm), finding little. Off 178 days. Makes tapeta debut.
7th	13 7th (13) (33/1 -136%) Texas Man	33 33/1(-136%)	(13) Texas Man 33/1, Three-time 5f winner on turf but isn't the most consistent. First AW start since his debut. Others are more obvious.
8th	3 8th (3) (40/1 +0%) Jack's Point	40 40/1(+0%)	(3) Jack's Point 40/1, First run since leaving Tony Carroll when last of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, 33/1) 28 days ago. Hard to fancy after that.
9th	12 9th (12) (4.5/1 +0%) Mr Beaufort	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(12) Mr Beaufort 4.5/1, Ended his time with Tom Clover with a 5f Goodwood handicap win in October. Lightly-raced sort who appeals as one likely to go on to better things for new trainer David O'Meara. Very interesting runner, particularly if backed.
10th	14 10th (14) (50/1 -52%) Fai Fai	50 50/1(-52%)	(14) Fai Fai 50/1, 20/1, bit below form 5¼ lengths eighth of 14 to Justcallmepete in handicap at this course (6f). Off 92 days. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Needs a couple of these to falter.
11th	7 11th (7) (33/1 -83%) Wonderful World	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Wonderful World 33/1, Dual winner at 2. His 3-y-o campaign was nothing to write home about but his mark has a come down as a result so he might make more of an impact this time round.
12th	4 12th (4) (33/1 -18%) Jojo Rabbit	33 33/1(-18%)	(4) Jojo Rabbit 33/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 22/1) 29 days ago.

LTO Selection:

16:20 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ANGLE LAND has really found her stride since late December, winning three of her last four appearances, and a 4lb rise for her recent success at Chelmsford may not be enough to derail her progress. Mr Beaufort struck on his return from a 104-day absence at Goodwood in September and having won on his sole start on the all-weather, is feared most now under the tutelage of David O'Meara. C&D winner Khabib is on a handy mark and completes the shortlist.

MR BEAUFORT has had only 6 starts so there should be more to come this year and it might be worth chancing his fitness on this first outing for the excellent David O'Meara yard. Bert Kibbler and the thriving Angle Land were 1-2 in a similarly competitive C&D handicap 3 weeks ago and rate obvious threats. The booking of Oisin Murphy for Spring Is Sprung takes the eye and he'd come into it if the betting vibes are strong on his first outing for the Paul Midgley stable.

The suggestion is KHABIB, who was denied a clear run just at the wrong time on his latest outing and is very well suited by this C&D.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

The application of cheekpieces has unlocked some improvement in First Charge and a 4lb rise for his win at Wolverhampton last month is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Slight preference, however, is for JUBILEE GIRL, who was collared close home over an extended 2m at this circuit and the combination of a drop in distance with first-time headgear may help Karl Burke's consistent filly regain the winning thread. Prince Abu makes most appeal of the remaining opposition.

FIRST CHARGE snapped a losing run with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle last time and Laurence Bellman's 6-y-o might be able to follow up as he has won off this mark before. Jubilee Girl has thrived lately and ought to give another good account, while King Francis is back on a workable mark and won on his reappearance last year.

Preference is for FIRST CHARGE, just ahead of serious rivals Jubilee Girl and Notimeforanother.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Forge Valley Lad failed to defy a 3lb raised mark, settling for second when on a hat-trick over 1m2f at Lingfield. He could easily bounce back but preference lies instead with CITIZEN GENERAL, who is on a three-timer of his own. Ed Dunlop's charge kept on well to score by almost four lengths over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle when last seen in October and can pick up where he left off. Skye Breeze is another to bear in mind.

DOWN TO THE KID is compiling an excellent record at Southwell and having shaped as though in top form at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, he has a lot going for him. The dangers are headed by Forge Valley Lad and Skye Breeze.

Competitive. The vote goes to CITIZEN GENERAL, despite his layoff, because he looked so firmly on the upgrade last July-October.

LTO Selection:

17:55 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Only narrowly denied over C&D earlier this month, FIGHTING POET is fancied to go one better. The application of cheekpieces seemed to have the desired effect and he can break his duck with the headgear retained. Breguet Boy justified favouritism in a Newcastle classified event and should not be underestimated on his return to handicapping. King Athelstan completes the shortlist.

It hasn't taken long for BREGUET BOY to find his form back with Keith Dalgleish, and given he retains plenty of handicap scope on old form, he's a very persuasive candidate. King Athelstan and Fighting Poet head the opposition.

With a bit to prove on the Flat stamina of Breguet Boy, preference is for FIGHTING POET who battled on well over C&D last time.

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.
