1	10 1st (10) (11/2 +15%) Steps In The Sand	5.5 11/2(+15%)	(10) Steps In The Sand 11/2, 10/1, creditable 1¾ lengths fifth of 14 to Defence Treaty in handicap at this course (12.1f) 5 days ago, left poorly placed. Threatening to come good. 1-26 but ran on from the rear when fifth of 14 here (1m4f) five days ago; each-way player.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/1 +8%) The Bay Warrior	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) The Bay Warrior 11/1, Latest win at Kempton in January. Fifth of 7 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (12f) 46 days ago. Others more persuasive. Multiple Polytrack winner who's had four seconds on Wolverhampton Tapeta.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Destinado	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Destinado 10/3, Has thrived since joining his current yard, scoring for the first time on turf in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 4/1) 8 days ago, well on top finish under this rider. Up 7 lb but jockey claims 5 lb now and this C&D scorer can feature again. Four AW wins (two here) for new yard this year; also Doncaster (1m2f, soft) eight days ago.
4	12 4th (12) (9/1 -29%) Defence Treaty	9 9/1(-29%)	(12) Defence Treaty 9/1, 28/1, won 14-runner handicap at this course (12.1f) 5 days ago, just about making the most of an uncontested lead. Now 3 lb lower with rider's claim but he's not an obvious one to follow up. Made most to score by a nose off this mark here five days ago; solid sequence this year.
5th	2 5th (2) (14/1 -27%) Hashtagmetoo	14 14/1(-27%)	(2) Hashtagmetoo 14/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/3) 71 days ago, faring best of those held up. More needed to prevail off current mark. Each-way claims on Wolverhampton record but has a little more to prove at Southwell.
6th	6 6th (6) (9/2 +25%) Optik	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) Optik 9/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Respectable second of 8 in handicap (2/1) at this C&D 17 days ago. 4 lb rise has kicked in now. Four AW wins this year and creditable second over C&D (sole run here) on latest outing.
7th	13 7th (13) (33/1 -106%) Hot Team	33 33/1(-106%)	(13) Hot Team 33/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2023. 20/1, good second of 7 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 9 days ago. This is tougher. Beaten a head in a classified at Newcastle nine days ago but this is a stronger race.
8th	14 8th (14) (50/1 +0%) Princess Nieve	50 50/1(+0%)	(14) Princess Nieve 50/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f, 125/1) 28 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Visor back on. Not easy to make a case for. Won in January 2023; not much to shout about from last April onwards.
9th	7 9th (7) (20/1 -25%) Bay Of Naples	20 20/1(-25%)	(7) Bay Of Naples 20/1, C&D winner. Respectable 3¾ lengths seventh of 14 to Defence Treaty in handicap at this course (12.1f, 12/1) 5 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time (replacing cheekpieces). Latest start wasn't too bad and he now has a switch from recent cheekpieces to blinkers.
10th	11 10th (11) (16/1 -100%) Toscan Genius	16 16/1(-100%)	(11) Toscan Genius 16/1, Modest on the all weather, respectable on last Flat outing. Off 136 days. Could take a hand if ready to go. Off since a hurdles fop in November but peak form (Newcastle 1m4f win) gives her a shout.
11th	9 11th (9) (40/1 -60%) Oceana Orange	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) Oceana Orange 40/1, 200/1, ninth of 12 in maiden at this course (7.1f) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and plenty of improvement needed. No persuasive claims but she moves back up in trip (markedly) on this handicap debut.
12th	3 12th (3) (10/1 -54%) Mickey Mongoose	10 10/1(-54%)	(3) Mickey Mongoose 10/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 10-runner handicap at this course (8.1f, 66/1) 26 days ago. Stamina to prove raised 6 lb. 66-1 here 26 days ago but surged back to form with a clearcut win, albeit over 1m.
13th	8 13th (8) (11/1 +8%) Very Classy	11 11/1(+8%)	(8) Very Classy 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, good third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 23 days ago, having run of race. Must improve. Front-running 3rd of eight at Newcastle (1m2f, Tapeta) early this month on handicap debut.
14th	5 14th (5) (11/1 +8%) Loom Large	11 11/1(+8%)	(5) Loom Large 11/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. Fifth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) 8 days ago, not knocked about. Can make presence felt. Big step back in the right direction last time; has not convinced for stamina beyond 1m2f.

13:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Raised 7lb for a comfortable victory on the turf at Doncaster last week, DESTINADO is turned out again quickly over a track and trip where he was successful just last month. The six-year-old could have more improvement to come and he is narrowly preferred to recent C&D runner-up Optik and Mickey Mongoose, who must prove himself over this trip having sprung a surprise over a mile here last time out. Others to note include Defence Treaty, Hashtagmetoo and Loom Large.

STEPS IN THE SAND shaped well here on Tuesday and could come good now. Doncaster-winner Destinado and Loom Large are a couple of the other likely players.

There's a competitive look to this race but, going from strength to strength for his new trainer this year, DESTINADO may score again.

14:05 Southwell Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Owners Amo Racing could not have made a better start to the season, having landed the Lincoln last week, and they might have a promising two-year-old on their hands in the shape of VIOLET LOVE. Her sire Havana Grey is developing into an excellent stallion and the George Boughey-trained filly should have plenty of pace to see off fellow newcomer Deal Maker, who is a half-sister to dual Group 1 winner Salute The Soldier. Awj and Far Above Mary must also be noted for any market support.

FAR ABOVE MARY, Awj and Deal Maker are the three against the field before the all-important market clues. Chalena didn't offer much on debut here on Tuesday and needs a marked step forward.

Chalena sets a modest standard. AWJ and Violet Love are particularly interesting types among the debutantes.

14:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (6/4 +8%) Ziggy's Missile	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(4) Ziggy's Missile 6/4, Made it back-to-back wins when scoring comfortably at this C&D on his penultimate start. Ran at least as well when second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/15) 8 days ago, headed dying strides. Leading contender. Has form figures of 112 since switched to AW; went very close on latest occasion.
2	3 2nd (3) (6/1 -100%) Moonstone Boy	6 6/1(-100%)	(3) Moonstone Boy 6/1, Having bumped into a few promising types, found extra to deservedly get off the mark in 5-runner minor event at this C&D (evens) 26 days ago. Can make his presence felt as he goes handicapping. Off the mark in C&D novice event this month, gaining reward for his consistency.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 +11%) Ashwiyaa	4 4/1(+11%)	(1) Ashwiyaa 4/1, Opened account at Down Royal in September and good 3¾ lengths third of 10 to Pipsy in listed race at Dundalk (5f, 16/1) next time. Interesting contender as she makes handicap debut on first start since leaving M. D. O'Callaghan. Ran well in Listed grade on final start in Ireland; interesting back down in class.
4	5 4th (5) (5/1 +17%) Boann	5 5/1(+17%)	(5) Boann 5/1, C&D winner who resumed her progress when doubling her tally in 12-runner nursery at Kempton (6f, 33/1) in November, digging deep. Will need to find more again on her return. Has a record of 2-3 on AW and may have more to offer; C&D winner; possibilities.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/1 -38%) Hint Of The Jungle	11 11/1(-38%)	(6) Hint Of The Jungle 11/1, Won at Beverley and Wolverhampton last year, but ended the campaign with a lesser effort when sixth of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (5f, AW, 10/1) in September. However, he's not discounted after 6 months off (has been gelded). Came up short on final 2yo start but may fare better today, with Rossa Ryan booked.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 +10%) Mini Magna	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Mini Magna 9/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year when trained by Ed Dunlop. Stepped up on reappearance when 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Ziggy's Missile in handicap at this C&D (50/1) 19 days ago. Can give another good account. Good effort behind Ziggy's Missile over C&D this month on second run for new yard.

14:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to look past ZIGGY'S MISSILE, who is slightly unlucky not to be arriving on a four-timer, having been denied late at Newcastle recently. A taking winner over C&D on his penultimate start, the son of Blue Point has the services of Silvestre De Sousa to call upon this time around and he can get the better of Ashwiyaa, who is very interesting on her first start for new connections. Successful over C&D himself earlier in the month, Moonstone Boy must also enter calculations on his handicap debut.

ZIGGY'S MISSILE has been going the right way this year, winning in good style over C&D before only narrowly denied at Newcastle 8 days ago, so he is taken to resume winning ways back at this venue. Moonstone Boy gained a first success here on his latest outing and is feared most on his handicap debut, ahead of Ashwiyaa.

Of the runners who have the benefit of recent match practice, ZIGGY'S MISSILE and Moonstone Boy are particularly solid.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +0%) Attila The Honey	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(4) Attila The Honey 9/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 22/1, third of 4 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW) 37 days ago. Up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Not beaten far in two muddling races this year, but the value of her form is questionable.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/4 +0%) Across Earth	1.5 6/4(+0%)	(1) Across Earth 6/4, Thrice-raced maiden. Second of 12 in maiden at Kempton (12f, 11/8) 25 days ago, no match for winner. Makes handicap debut. Solid claims. Second in 1m4f Kempton maiden this month; should have improvement to come in handicaps.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 -33%) Free Speech	4 4/1(-33%)	(3) Free Speech 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Chelmsford City in October. Good second of 8 in nursery (7/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f). Off 156 days. Up in trip. One to note for all that she might need the run. Won on nursery debut in October (1m2f) and went close a fortnight later (9.4f).
4	2 4th (2) (3/1 -9%) King's School	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) King's School 3/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 14 in minor event (10/3) at Chelmsford City (10f). Off 108 days. Notable handicap debutant up in trip for stable going well. Sound effort when third in 1m2f Chelmsford novice in December; up in trip for h'cap debut.

15:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Cases can be made for all of these but marginal preference is for ACROSS EARTH, with Marco Botti's top-weight showing ability in all three of his novice/maiden starts. An opening mark of 75 should be workable for the Golden Horn colt and he gets the vote ahead of King's School, who has a similar profile to the selection and may improve having been gelded since his latest outing. Free Speech edges out Attila The Honey to be best of the rest.

KING'S SCHOOL showed ability through the winter and, now upped in trip after a gelding operation, he's expected to improve enough to defy a feasible opening mark. Across Earth ran well last time and looks an obvious danger, while Free Speech shouldn't be far away if she's ready to go.

The pick is ACROSS EARTH, who kept on well for second at Kempton this month and might have a fitness edge over a couple of the others.

3	2 3rd (2) (13/2 +7%) Cuban Fiesta	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(2) Cuban Fiesta 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, sixth of 13 in minor event at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy), not knocked about. Off 172 days. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Makes his AW, handicap and seasonal debut, with improvement likely; needs a close look.
4	1 4th (1) (10/1 +17%) Salamanca Lad	10 10/1(+17%)	(1) Salamanca Lad 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. 12/1, tenth of 11 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft). Off 174 days. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Richard Fahey. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Thirsk win (6f, soft) on handicap debut; ran poorly next time; left R Fahey for 12,000gns.
5th	3 5th (3) (5/2 +50%) Just Rita	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(3) Just Rita 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Kempton (7f) 32 days ago, hampered. Makes tapeta debut. 4th of ten on handicap debut at Kempton (7f), not getting the best of runs from off pace.

7th	7 7th (7) (15/2 -25%) Body Parts	7.5 15/2(-25%)	(7) Body Parts 15/2, Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Good third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (33/1) 21 days ago. Won at Wolverhampton; creditable 3rd over C&D (33-1; from off the pace) three weeks ago.

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

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

JUST RITA caught the eye when filling fourth place on her handicap bow over 7f at Kempton a month ago. The daughter of Bated Breath was only beaten two lengths on that occasion, despite meeting with plenty of trouble in running, and she could make amends off the same mark here. Eccentric has to be of some interest following his narrow defeat at Wolverhampton, while Body Parts completes the shortlist.

ECCENTRIC is still well treated judged on his excellent second at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, and looks the one to beat. Desert Raider is not discounted after a break on first start for a new stable, while Body Parts has recent C&D form.

This may be decided between BODY PARTS, Eccentric and Cuban Fiesta, who are preferred in that order.

1	6 1st (6) (14/1 +0%) Monsieur Fantaisie	14 14/1(+0%)	(6) Monsieur Fantaisie 14/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 20/1) 8 days ago. Ran creditably on latest 6f start; worth another crack at 7f and could go well.
2	12 2nd (12) (16/1 +0%) Coconut Bay	16 16/1(+0%)	(12) Coconut Bay 16/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. Twenty five runs since last win in 2022. Creditable 3¾ lengths fourth of 11 to Drakeholes in minor event (20/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Ties in with Drakeholes on latest effort; however, strike-rate remains poor.
3	3 3rd (3) (4/1 +43%) Drakeholes	4 4/1(+43%)	(3) Drakeholes 4/1, Won 11-runner minor event at Newcastle (7.1f, 2/1) 9 days ago, quickening clear. Remains well treated on old form and shouldn't be discounted for all that this is a stronger contest. Comfortably justified favouritism in classified event at Newcastle nine days ago.
4	2 4th (2) (20/1 -43%) Asmund	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Asmund 20/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form sixth of 14 in handicap (10/1) at Redcar (7f, heavy). Off 163 days. Liable to need the run. Capable of being involved but others are higher up the list; no win since 2022.
5th	7 5th (7) (11/1 -10%) Kodebreaker	11 11/1(-10%)	(7) Kodebreaker 11/1, C&D winner. Twenty five runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, respectable third of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 5 days ago. Can't be ruled out. Made the frame at this course in last three runs; defied an 8lb higher mark last March.
6th	1 6th (1) (13/8 -9%) Catherine Chroi	1.625 13/8(-9%)	(1) Catherine Chroi 13/8, Course winner. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (6/4) at Newcastle (6f) 6 days ago, easily. Hat-trick is firmly on the cards for this thriving mare. Has form figures of 211 (all over 6f) since rejoining this yard; lesser strike-rate at 7f.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 +0%) Twilight Jazz	16 16/1(+0%)	(4) Twilight Jazz 16/1, Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 7/1). Off 139 days. First run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Not an obvious sort on paper. Only 1-17 for Mick Appleby; makes debut for new stable (still with same owner).
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 -50%) Written Broadcast	12 12/1(-50%)	(9) Written Broadcast 12/1, C&D winner. Three wins from 22 runs last year. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, very good second of 9 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Merits consideration. Close second in C&D classified event last time; 8lb below last winning mark; respected.
9th	11 9th (11) (66/1 -100%) Wood Farm Wag	66 66/1(-100%)	(11) Wood Farm Wag 66/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 50/1) 12 days ago. Still a maiden and holds weak claims on overall form.
10th	10 10th (10) (25/1 +24%) Atrafan	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Atrafan 25/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 22/1 and visored for 1st time, eighth of 9 in minor event at this C&D 15 days ago. Blinkers back on. Difficult ask. Multiple AW winner but is far from solid on 2024 form.
11th	8 11th (8) (7/1 +13%) Higher Law	7 7/1(+13%)	(8) Higher Law 7/1, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Creditable second of 8 in minor event at this course (6.1f, 9/2) 10 days ago. 21-race maiden but went close under Hollie Doyle here ten days ago; not dismissed.
12th	5 12th (5) (8/1 -60%) Inexplicable	8 8/1(-60%)	(5) Inexplicable 8/1, Course winner. 11/2, good fourth of 11 in minor event at this course (8.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away. Should be on the premises again. Most wins at about 1m; doesn't appear to be crying out for this return to 7f.

16:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CATHERINE CHROI arrives here on the back of two wins in the last 10 days and a 5lb penalty for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop her now. Drakeholes is an obvious threat following his success in a classified event at Newcastle, while Higher Law and Written Broadcast are others who merit places on the shortlist in an open affair.

CATHERINE CHROI is right at the top of her game and, with a promising claimer taking 7 lb off, she's worth siding with as she bids to complete the hat-trick. Drakeholes and Inexplicable look the chief dangers.

On the back of an encouraging C&D effort, WRITTEN BROADCAST could well go one better. Kodebreaker is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (3/1 +0%) Brother Dave	3 3/1(+0%)	(6) Brother Dave 3/1, 16/5, career best when winning 9-runner classified event over C&D 15 days ago. Looks well treated on that form back in a handicap. Opened his account in C&D classified race this month; may build on that win; respected.
2	7 2nd (7) (10/1 -43%) Bluebells Boy	10 10/1(-43%)	(7) Bluebells Boy 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 7 in classified event at this course (6f) 10 days ago. Not taken lightly. Record is only 1-17 but he's on a workable mark returned to handicap level.
3	5 3rd (5) (7/1 -27%) Outreach	7 7/1(-27%)	(5) Outreach 7/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in December. Good third of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Wolverhampton (7f) 12 days ago. Merits consideration. Close third at Wolverhampton last time; fighting chance, provided he takes to Southwell.
4	4 4th (4) (5/1 -11%) Marcello Si	5 5/1(-11%)	(4) Marcello Si 5/1, Winner over 7f and 1m at Newcastle in January. 15/8, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 19 days ago. Shortlisted. Late-bloomer who ran creditably behind a subsequent scorer last time; likely player.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/1 +36%) Hombre	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Hombre 9/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 12/1) 25 days ago. Tongue strap back on, cheekpieces on first time. Less exposed than a lot of these but needs improvement. May improve for this step back up in trip and addition of cheekpieces.
6th	8 6th (8) (16/1 +0%) Billy Mcgarry	16 16/1(+0%)	(8) Billy Mcgarry 16/1, Latest win at Newcastle in February. 14/1 and tongue strap on first time, eighth of 11 in classified event at Newcastle (7f) 9 days ago. Blinkers back on. Has failed to back up the form of Newcastle win and remains unreliable.
7th	11 7th (11) (25/1 -25%) Available Angel	25 25/1(-25%)	(11) Available Angel 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 22/1, sixth of 9 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Others are more obvious. Needs to step up on her 2024 efforts; yet to win away from Yarmouth.
8th	10 8th (10) (11/1 +0%) Ok Pal	11 11/1(+0%)	(10) Ok Pal 11/1, 15/2, creditable sixth of 12 in classified event at Wolverhampton (7f) 29 days ago. 0-5 for current yard but ran well under Hollie Doyle in January.
9th	3 9th (3) (11/1 -22%) Mine That Ship	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Mine That Ship 11/1, Second on 6f Chelmsford reappearance/yard debut but not in the same form when eighth of 10 in C&D handicap 10 days ago. Ran well on stable/seasonal debut; lesser effort over C&D since.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 -40%) Jems Bond	7 7/1(-40%)	(2) Jems Bond 7/1, Three wins from 13 runs last year. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 15/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 11 days ago, worst of draw. Ran encouragingly here 11 days ago; possibilities off 8lb below last winning mark.
11th	12 11th (12) (50/1 +0%) Legal Mind	50 50/1(+0%)	(12) Legal Mind 50/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat starts. 150/1, fifth of 6 in classified event at Lingfield (6f) 24 days ago. 11yo maiden who holds weak claims on 2024 form.
12th	9 12th (9) (16/1 +0%) Sumac	16 16/1(+0%)	(9) Sumac 16/1, Remains a maiden after 20 starts. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford (6f, 22/1) 22 days ago. Peak effort when second over C&D four starts ago; record is 0-20.

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In what looks a trappy affair on paper, it may pay to side with the largely consistent BROTHER DAVE. Ruth Carr's charge came from last to first with a sweeping run in a classified race over C&D earlier this month and, pitched back into handicap company, he can bring up the double. Marcello Si arrives on the back of a creditable second at Newcastle and may prove the main danger off an unchanged mark. Jems Bond ran on well for third over 6f and can make his presence felt stepping back up in trip.

A repeat of the form BROTHER DAVE showed to win a C&D classified race a fortnight ago might be good enough to see him follow up back in a handicap. Bluebells Boy, Outreach and Marcello Si head the dangers.

In-form BROTHER DAVE (nap) is taken to build on his C&D success and follow up. Marcello Si is second choice.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	11 1st (11) (10/1 -11%) Secret Road	10 10/1(-11%)	(11) Secret Road 10/1, 5/1, respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 23 days ago, not ideally placed. Drawn widest here. Generally consistent in AW handicaps; won off this mark in November; one to consider.
2	4 2nd (4) (9/1 -29%) Airshow	9 9/1(-29%)	(4) Airshow 9/1, C&D winner. 12/1, won 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) 17 days ago, just holding on. Only nudged up 2 lb for that. In-form 9yo; raised only 2lb for Chelmsford win; should remain competitive.
3	9 3rd (9) (9/2 -29%) Late Arrival	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(9) Late Arrival 9/2, Won 10-runner C&D handicap 15 days ago, well on top finish. Has a 7 lb higher mark to contend with now and his draw could make life awkward. Scored comfortably over C&D two weeks ago; still well treated on historical data.
4	5 4th (5) (13/2 -18%) Blazing Son	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(5) Blazing Son 13/2, C&D winner. 11/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on reappearance 23 days ago. Should go well. Reappearance effort took his AW form figures to 13112; 1-1 at Southwell; strong claims.
5th	6 5th (6) (11/2 +31%) Hiatus	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(6) Hiatus 11/2, C&D winner in January. 7/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 29 days ago, faring best of those held up. C&D winner in January; did well to finish third at Kempton last time; in the mix.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -106%) Bowman	33 33/1(-106%)	(10) Bowman 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Laura Mongan when seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 12/1) 18 days ago, not knocked about. Lurking on a good mark. One to note in the betting. Recent 7f efforts suggest this return to 6f may suit.
7th	3 7th (3) (8/1 +43%) Cavalier Approach	8 8/1(+43%)	(3) Cavalier Approach 8/1, Three wins from 10 runs last year, including tapeta. Should be competitive if fully primed for this first outing in 5 months. 2-4 for current yard and may do better still.
8th	7 8th (7) (12/1 -9%) Daytona Lady	12 12/1(-9%)	(7) Daytona Lady 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (4/1) at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Back on last winning mark and could go well.
9th	12 9th (12) (12/1 +25%) Lord Abama	12 12/1(+25%)	(12) Lord Abama 12/1, Remains a maiden after 16 starts but is well treated on his peak form from last season. Worth keeping an eye on in the betting on reappearance. Still a maiden but starts this campaign on a reduced mark.
10th	2 10th (2) (6/1 +33%) Rodborough	6 6/1(+33%)	(2) Rodborough 6/1, Three course wins but all over 5f. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f, 10/3) 19 days ago. Could have a big say if as effective on a rare outing over 6f. Three-time course winner but has something to prove back at 6f.
11th	13 11th (13) (14/1 -56%) Man On A Mission	14 14/1(-56%)	(13) Man On A Mission 14/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. 6/1, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago. Placed at Kempton last time; has form figures of 54232323 at Southwell; solid chance.
12th	1 12th (1) (33/1 -106%) Yoshimi	33 33/1(-106%)	(1) Yoshimi 33/1, Dual turf winner last summer. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (7f) when last seen in October. Has won when fresh but may find this trip inadequate.
13th	8 13th (8) (22/1 -38%) King Of Tonga	22 22/1(-38%)	(8) King Of Tonga 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) when last seen in the autumn. Has a wide stall to overcome on reappearance. Place possibilities, provided he's as effective returned to AW.

17:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LATE ARRIVAL comfortably accounted for a subsequent winner over C&D and the suspicion is that, off a 7lb higher mark, there is more winning to be done before the handicapper has his measure. Daytona Lady has run with more credit than the form book suggests on her last two starts and, back down to her last winning figure, it would be no surprise if she could get competitive. Hiatus acquitted himself well when third at Kempton and he has every chance of hitting the frame again off an unchanged mark.

BLAZING SON arrives on the back of a good reappearance run at Newcastle and might prove the answer to this competitive finale. Rodborough will be a big danger if her stamina holds back up at 6f. Airshow and Hiatus also make the shortlist.

Preference is for BLAZING SON, who should build on his reappearance effort. Late Arrival is second choice.

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.
