Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (28/1 -27%) Lord Sam's Castle	28 28/1(-27%)	(2) Lord Sam's Castle 28/1, Latest win at Newcastle in November. 11/4, below-form fourth of 5 in handicap at this C&D. Off 116 days. Needs to bounce back. No apparent excuses here in January and others might be better treated..
1	3 1st (3) (20/1 -25%) Mustajaab	20 20/1(-25%)	(3) Mustajaab 20/1, Lightly-raced winner. Eighth of 9 in nursery (22/1) at Newmarket (7f, good). Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Easy to look elsewhere at these weights. Only eighth on his handicap debut last backend and perhaps high in the weights..
2	4 2nd (4) (0.8/1 +42%) Yorkshire	0.8 0.8/1(+42%)	(4) Yorkshire 0.8/1, Promising sort who won 7-runner minor event at this course (6.1f) 56 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Looks competitive on form. Good value for his 6f novice win here and stepping up to 7f shouldn't be a bother at all..
3	6 3rd (6) (9/1 +0%) Little Edi	9 9/1(+0%)	(6) Little Edi 9/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in February. Last of 8 in handicap at Newbury (7f, heavy, 11/2) 20 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Needs to get back on track. In form on the AW before presumably failing to handle soft ground at Newbury..
4	7 4th (7) (3.6/1 +28%) A Taste Of Honey	3.6 3.6/1(+28%)	(7) A Taste Of Honey 3.6/1, 4/1, posted a career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 43 days ago, well on top finish. Makes tapeta debut. Open to further improvement and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Dictated throughout for a successful handicap debut at Lingfield; up just 3lb..
5th	8 5th (8) (33/1 -175%) Juryman	33 33/1(-175%)	(8) Juryman 33/1, 9/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 13 days ago, keeping on well. Can give another good account despite a 4 lb rise. Second run since gelded when coming nicely clear in a soft-ground 7f handicap at Doncaster.
6th	5 6th (5) (7.5/1 +6%) Odin Owns You All	7.5 7.5/1(+6%)	(5) Odin Owns You All 7.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner in February. 15/8, good second of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago, no match for winner. Much respected. C&D winner who ran a solid second on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton; same mark..
7th	1 7th (1) (10/1 -82%) Choisya	10 10/1(-82%)	(1) Choisya 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner in January. 2/1, very good second of 5 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 71 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up. Open to further improvement and dropping back to 7f might be a good thing..

LTO Selection:

13:50 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 12/1 (8) JURYMAN - He has won his last race and has shown improvement since being gelded. He is expected to give another good account despite the 4lb rise in weight. 2nd: 8/1 (5) ODIN OWNS YOU ALL - He has won a C&D race before and ran a solid second in his last race. He is much respected and is expected to perform well. 3rd: 5/1 (7) A TASTE OF HONEY - She has won her last two races and is open to further improvement. She should make a bold bid for the hat-trick and is expected to finish in the top three.

Runner-up on her two most recent starts, including over this trip at Lingfield in February, CHOISYA is entitled to go one better here. She is fairly well-related and the unexposed daughter of Night Of Thunder may be capable of better, despite a 2lb rise for her most recent outing. Yorkshire seemed to appreciate a return to the all-weather when securing a game victory over 6f in March and he is feared, while Odin Owns You All is another to consider.

A TASTE OF HONEY's form is on an upward curve and a 3 lb rise for her emphatic Lingfield success doesn't look sufficient to prevent her from completing a hat-trick. Course-winner Yorkshire also looks to have better days ahead of him and is feared most ahead of C&D winner Choisya.

A Taste Of Honey still looks well handicapped but preference is for YORKSHIRE, who impressed here two months ago.

14:25 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (12/1 -140%) Ormolulu	12 12/1(-140%)	(9) Ormolulu 12/1, Promising individual. 40/1, second of 7 in maiden at this C&D on debut 27 days ago. Open to progress. Runner-up on her debut over C&D last month; each-way claims.
2	7 2nd (7) (2/1 -33%) Dear Daphne	2 2/1(-33%)	(7) Dear Daphne 2/1, Unruly beforehand when fourth of 7 in novice event at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Sets a fair standard on her handicap run prior to that. Disappointing last time but went close over C&D the time before; solid chance on that form.
3	5 3rd (5) (1/1 +64%) Okami	1 1/1(+64%)	(5) Okami 1/1, €60,000 foal, 22,000 gns yearling, £70,000 2-y-o, Showcasing gelding. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 1¾m, half-sister to moody 5f-6f winner Sunrise Safari and winner up to 7f (stayed 1¼m) Rosso Corsa (both smart). Newcomer for top yard. Represents a top yard and respected on debut, especially if the market is positive.
4	4 4th (4) (150/1 -275%) Nautical Dream	150 150/1(-275%)	(4) Nautical Dream 150/1, Last of 7 in novice event at this C&D (16/1) on debut 32 days ago, slowly away. Last of seven on C&D debut last month; needs more time.
5th	1 5th (1) (22/1 +0%) Miss Willows	22 22/1(+0%)	(1) Miss Willows 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 80/1 and hooded for first time, fourth of 11 in novice event at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 13 days ago. Has shown ability in her first two starts but looks one for handicaps after this.
6th	3 6th (3) (4/1 -20%) Kracking	4 4/1(-20%)	(3) Kracking 4/1, Promising type. Hooded, last of 3 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 9/2) on debut 26 days ago, very slowly away. Will know more this time. Last of three on debut but did well to finish as close as he did; one for the shortlist.
7th	8 7th (8) (150/1 -127%) Diamond Hands	150 150/1(-127%)	(8) Diamond Hands 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 10 in novice event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 66/1) 15 days ago. Some ability in the first of two starts at Lingfield; can be handicapped after this.
8th	6 8th (6) (100/1 -203%) Smokey Lonesome	100 100/1(-203%)	(6) Smokey Lonesome 100/1, Tamayuz colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner lady of Inishfree. Dam 1¼m-1½m winner out of smart winner up to 12.5f (2-y-o 9f winner) Oiseau Rare. Wouldn't be an obvious winner first time out; will probably need much further on breeding.
9th	2 9th (2) (100/1 -52%) Brother Dave	100 100/1(-52%)	(2) Brother Dave 100/1, Twice-raced gelding. Tenth of 11 in novice event (80/1) at Doncaster (6f, heavy) 13 days ago. Some ability on C&D debut but beaten a long way at Doncaster next time; one for handicaps.
10th	10 10th (10) (80/1 +20%) Roxy's Charm	80 80/1(+20%)	(10) Roxy's Charm 80/1, Last of 15 in maiden (40/1) at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) on debut, very slowly away. Off 12 months. Up in trip. Hooded for first time. Last on her Thirsk debut a year ago; hood goes on.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 5/1 (9) ORMOLULU and 1.5/1 (7) DEAR DAPHNE are mentioned as promising and having each-way claims, respectively. 2.75/1 (5) OKAMI is also respected as a newcomer from a top yard. 33/1 (6) SMOKEY LONESOME and 100/1 (10) ROXY'S CHARM are not expected to be strong contenders. The remaining horses have shown some ability but may be more suited for handicaps in the future.

This could go the way of ORMOLULU, who made a promising start to her racing career when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month. She has a solid chance of breaking her maiden at the second time of asking and is taken to come on for a reputable stable. Okami rates an interesting newcomer and the gelded son of Showcasing cannot be underestimated for powerful connections. Kracking looks the pick of the remainder.

OKAMI's sales prices increased as a 2-y-o and while he didn't race last year he's been gelded ahead of debut for his top yard and is likely to know his job. He could be the answer, with Dear Daphne a big threat if back on her game, along with Ormolulu.

It may be worth chancing KRACKING who finished last of three on his Wolverhampton debut but did well to finish as close as he did.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (0.5/1 +50%) Cruise	0.5 0.5/1(+50%)	(8) Cruise 0.5/1, Lightly-raced filly. 4/5, good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Sets the standard and looks to have found a good opportunity to open her account. Went close in successive 6f AW handicaps; claims if holding that form back in a maiden..
2	1 2nd (1) (20/1 -43%) Crazy Crackers	20 20/1(-43%)	(1) Crazy Crackers 20/1, Once-raced gelding. Fifth of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 125/1) on debut 13 days ago. Open to progress. Drops in trip for this switch to Tapeta and can build on that first run..

Should do better and can't be discounted. Showed ability on debut; drop in trip positive; if settling better, he can have a big say..
5th	2 5th (2) (10/1 -43%) Exorbitant	10 10/1(-43%)	(2) Exorbitant 10/1, Once-raced colt. 14/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 43 days ago. Should progress. Got the hang of things late on when showing promise at Kempton; can improve on that..

Dam, useful 8.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Good Old Boy Lukey. 5,000gns 2yo; pedigree suggests he is likely to do better over further in time..
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 -150%) Kynsa	50 50/1(-150%)	(10) Kynsa 50/1, Once-raced filly. 80/1, twelfth of 13 in minor event at Ascot (6f, good) on debut. Off 8 months. 80-1 on debut at Ascot (6f, good) last September when never on terms and beaten almost 7l..
8th	6 8th (6) (7.5/1 -7%) Optiva Star	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(6) Optiva Star 7.5/1, Fair gelding. Remains a maiden after 7 Flat runs. Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 40/1) 7 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Did his best work late on back over 6f latest; looks competitive but also vulnerable..
9th	9 9th (9) (200/1 -300%) Haulfronhobbs	200 200/1(-300%)	(9) Haulfronhobbs 200/1, Thrice-raced filly. Eighth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f, 125/1) 14 days ago, not knocked about. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Big prices and well beaten in three starts over 6f-7f at Chelmsford; cheekpieces go on..

Half-brother to 3 winners, including 6f/7f winner Flirty Rascal and 2-y-o 5f winner Iva Go. Dam 7f winner. Half-brother to sprint winners; stable 18% with AW 3yos this season; market check..

LTO Selection:

15:00 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 7/1 (6) OPTIVA STAR 2nd: 6/1 (7) ROGUE SOLDIER 3rd: 7/1 (2) EXORBITANT

This represents a good opportunity for CRUISE to get off the mark and she stands out in a contest lacking a considerable amount of depth. She reverts back to maiden territory following a creditable effort in a handicap last month and looks open to progression, but Rogue Soldier is fairly well-related and could improve from his racecourse debut dropping in trip. Crazy Crackers completes the shortlist.

CRUISE has made a positive start for her new stable and may do better still, so she looks well capable of opening her account against some opposition that hasn't achieved as much as she has. Master Dandy makes plenty of appeal on paper and is feared on debut, while Rogue Soldier could get involved if improving from first to second run.

The filly CRUISE has some invaluable experience under her belt and, if holding her form, she may be capable of breaking her duck.

1	3 1st (3) (2/1 +27%) Protest Rally	2 2/1(+27%)	(3) Protest Rally 2/1, Promising sort. 7/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Chelmsford City (6f) 14 days ago, never nearer. Makes handicap debut. More to come and could be worth chancing on first go in a handicap. Needs improvement to defy this initial mark but that's not out of the question..
2	4 2nd (4) (40/1 -264%) Stella Blue	40 40/1(-264%)	(4) Stella Blue 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in maiden at Thirsk (5f, soft, 15/2) 37 days ago. Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Soft a possible excuse latest; blinkers and step up in trip need to have a big effect..
3	9 3rd (9) (10/1 +38%) Congress	10 10/1(+38%)	(9) Congress 10/1, Fifth of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy, 12/1) 31 days ago. Should come on for that but he's looked quite limited to date. Nibbled at in the market on his last couple of starts but yet to make any real progress..
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 -11%) Thornaby Beauty	5 5/1(-11%)	(7) Thornaby Beauty 5/1, 8/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy) 29 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration. C&D second; back in better form on heavy at Catterick latest; should be competitive..
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 -10%) Little Red Dancer	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Little Red Dancer 22/1, Below form second of 7 in handicap (25/1) at Catterick (7f, soft) 15 days ago, no match for winner. Others make more appeal. Beaten 11l in both her last two starts over 7f on turf/AW (both handicaps); needs better.
6th	1 6th (1) (20/1 -167%) Narasha	20 20/1(-167%)	(1) Narasha 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in minor event (28/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 35 days ago, not knocked about. Looks the type to improve for a switch to handicaps, so worthy of respect. The drop back in trip looks worthwhile; may be able to do better now entering handicaps..
7th	8 7th (8) (12/1 +14%) Kasino	12 12/1(+14%)	(8) Kasino 12/1, 8/1, last of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 106 days. Hard to rely upon but should be closer to form if she settles better than last time. Best of her last four efforts came over this C&D; drops 2lb and could be involved..
8th	10 8th (10) (28/1 +30%) Dresden Green	28 28/1(+30%)	(10) Dresden Green 28/1, 66/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 15 days ago, missing break. Plenty to prove at the moment. Beaten a long way in two turf starts last month; much more needed..
9th	2 9th (2) (4/1 +33%) Bishop's Glory	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Bishop's Glory 4/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft, 12/1) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Soft ground a possible excuse latest; needs extra to break his duck..
10th	12 10th (12) (8/1 +11%) Ginny Jo	8 8/1(+11%)	(12) Ginny Jo 8/1, Creditable second of 6 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago. Likely to give another good account. Career best latest in a Wolverhampton handicap and probably an each-way player..
11th	5 11th (5) (16/1 +20%) Stoic Syd	16 16/1(+20%)	(5) Stoic Syd 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (22/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Beaten a long way at Doncaster on his handicap debut (7f, soft) last month; drops 2lb..
12th	6 12th (6) (40/1 -100%) Sir Arthur's Boy	40 40/1(-100%)	(6) Sir Arthur's Boy 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (6f), having run of race. Off 160 days. Makes handicap debut. Needs to up his game. Latest Newcastle effort was his first that hinted at ability; looks best watched for now..

LTO Selection:

15:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1. 4.5/1 (7) THORNABY BEAUTY 2. 9/1 (12) GINNY JO 3. 7.5/1 (1) NARASHA

A couple of fascinating handicap debutants head to post in what looks on open contest, of whom PROTEST RALLY shades the vote. The Dandy Man colt showed ability across his three runs to date and is bred to be far better than an opening mark of 60, so it would be no surprise were Ed Walker's charge to take a step forward today. Similarly, Narasha is likely to find improvement now handicapping, while Thornaby Beauty, whose best effort to date came when finishing second over C&D, is another to note.

PROTEST RALLY shaped nicely under a considerate ride when fifth on his qualifying run at Chelmsford and he's likely to prove better than a mark of 60, so a chance is taken on him. Thornaby Beauty is of interest on the back of a solid showing at Catterick and Narasha is another notable handicap newcomer.

The filly NARASHA took a step in the right direction last time and is taken to keep going the right way now dropped back to this trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3.2/1 +36%) Blazing Son	3.2 3.2/1(+36%)	(5) Blazing Son 3.2/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/3) 28 days ago. Up 3 lb but he's well in the mix. Sole defeat in last four 6f starts came on reappearance; game display latest; up 3lb.
2	6 2nd (6) (8.5/1 +29%) Blackjack	8.5 8.5/1(+29%)	(6) Blackjack 8.5/1, C&D winner in March. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 23 days ago so he's one for the shortlist. Reliable front-runner over C&D during the winter, winning twice; below best last time out.
3	2 3rd (2) (7/1 +13%) Roshambo	7 7/1(+13%)	(2) Roshambo 7/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/2, not seen to best effect when fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good). Off 7 months but still needs considering. Promising at 6f on AW as 3yo, including on reappearance; likely to do better.
4	7 4th (7) (5.5/1 +27%) Stalingrad	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(7) Stalingrad 5.5/1, Remains a maiden after 19 runs. 9/1, respectable seventh of 16 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Can give a good account. Acts on Tapeta; several good efforts in defeat last year but not yet off the mark.
5th	4 5th (4) (6.5/1 -30%) Rhythm	6.5 6.5/1(-30%)	(4) Rhythm 6.5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in April. 4/1, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (6f, soft) 12 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Never involved on turf recently but 2-3 on Newcastle Tapeta, so of interest back on AW.
6th	3 6th (3) (4.5/1 +44%) Masterclass	4.5 4.5/1(+44%)	(3) Masterclass 4.5/1, 3/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f), left with lot to do. Off 7 months. Much respected on his tapeta debut. Minor 6f maiden win at Brighton; close up in 6f Polytrack handicaps after; Tapeta debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (4/1 -129%) Bill Plumb	4 4/1(-129%)	(1) Bill Plumb 4/1, Made it 2-2 this year in 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 4/1) 22 days ago. Weighted to complete his hat-trick nudged just 2 lb. Improved this year, following maiden win with successful handicap debut at Kempton; up 2lb.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to predict with absolute certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 1.75/1 (1) BILL PLUMB and 5/1 (5) BLAZING SON seem to be the strongest contenders. 1.75/1 (1) BILL PLUMB has improved this year, has won two consecutive races, and is weighted to complete his hat-trick. 5/1 (5) BLAZING SON has only been defeated once in his last four starts and won his latest race impressively. 8/1 (2) ROSHAMBO and 8/1 (3) MASTERCLASS also have potential to place in the top three.

BILL PLUMB proved that a mark of 70 was well within range when winning at Kempton last month, his second success in as many starts. The unexposed son of Footstepsinthesand is fancied to shrug off a subsequent 2lb rise in the handicap and bring up his hat-trick, possibly at the main expense of recent Newcastle scorer Blazing Son. Rhythm's winning run came to an end at Doncaster, but she's not without a chance back on an artificial surface.

BILL PLUMB has taken his form up a level this term and looks weighted to bag a hat-trick nudged up only 2 lb for his recent Kempton success. Roshambo still has few miles on the clock and needs considering on her seasonal return. Newcastle-scorer Blazing Son appeals as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

Bill Plumb is dangerous going for the hat-trick but ROSHAMBO (nap) showed plenty on Tapeta in 2022 and more success awaits her.

Career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wetherby (8f, good to soft, 11/4) 11 days ago, overcoming pace bias. makes plenty of appeal under a penalty. Won at Wetherby and he's open to more progress back on AW; big player again under penalty.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Buy The Dip	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(4) Buy The Dip 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, heavy, 11/2) 16 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-5 and he was tailed off when upped to 8.5f at Epsom last time; others preferred.

Should give another good account. Inconsistent maiden but he was placed over 1m at Windsor last time; now makes his AW debut.
4	1 4th (1) (33/1 -175%) Royal Dream	33 33/1(-175%)	(1) Royal Dream 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 9 in minor event (20/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f), needing stiffer test. Off 6 months. Tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve, so not discounted. Looks a possible improver upped in trip on handicap debut and he needs watching in market.
5th	10 5th (10) (18/1 -50%) Threebars	18 18/1(-50%)	(10) Threebars 18/1, Very good second of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 10 days ago. Merits respect. Made a bold bid at Bath ten days ago and is a key player if she can repeat that form.
6th	8 6th (8) (2.75/1 +31%) Na Scoitear	2.75 2.75/1(+31%)	(8) Na Scoitear 2.75/1, 5/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 32 days ago, suited by increase in trip. Not taken lightly. Off the mark in a C&D handicap last month and he's only 1lb higher here; respected.
7th	6 7th (6) (18/1 -13%) Eccles Street	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Eccles Street 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) 57 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Still early days for this well-bred gelding but he needs improvement on his handicap debut.
8th	2 8th (2) (33/1 -136%) Zebra Star	33 33/1(-136%)	(2) Zebra Star 33/1, 8/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 16 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others preferred. Won at Yarmouth last September but well held in last four runs and others are preferred.
9th	3 9th (3) (16/1 -14%) Corporate Raider	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Corporate Raider 16/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 4/1) 35 days ago. Others make more appeal. On workable mark but he was disappointing last time and others are more convincing.
10th	9 10th (9) (50/1 -400%) Dawn Mission	50 50/1(-400%)	(9) Dawn Mission 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Leicester (7f, heavy) 27 days ago. Makes handicap debut. With a shrewd yard and would be of interest if the market spoke in his favour. In good hands and now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation upped to 1m.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that are likely to finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are: 1st: 1.5/1 (5) GOLDEN MAVERICK 2nd: 4/1 (8) NA SCOITEAR 3rd: 12/1 (10) THREEBARS This is based on their recent form and performances, as well as their potential for improvement and suitability for the race conditions. However, as with any horse race, there are no guarantees and any of the horses could potentially surprise with a strong performance.

Na Scoitear proved well suited by the step up to a mile when winning a maiden handicap over C&D last month and though he merits respect, GOLDEN MAVERICK is preferred. He finished a good third over course and distance on his handicap debut, before going on to win at Wetherby 11 days ago. Ian Williams' charge must saddle a 6lb penalty today, but it's unlikely he has reached the ceiling of his ability just yet. Twilight Guest completes the shortlist.

GOLDEN MAVERICK improved and overcame a pace bias when scoring at Wetherby recently and he's well worth a chance to go in again. Na Scoitear is a likeable type who was better than ever when successful over C&D last time, so he's regarded as a threat, and it will be no surprise to see Dawn Mission up his game on his first try in handicaps.

Top of the list is GOLDEN MAVERICK, who won in good style at Wetherby 11 days ago and is open to more progress back on Tapeta.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (7.5/1 +17%) Birkenhead	7.5 7.5/1(+17%)	(2) Birkenhead 7.5/1, C&D winner who scored twice on turf last summer. Not at best upon returning to action this spring, ninth of 10 in a C&D handicap 5 weeks ago. Refitting of cheekpieces needs to perk him up. C&D winner on Fibresand; well treated; headgear back on (all handicap wins in aids).
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 +55%) Yimou	4.5 4.5/1(+55%)	(4) Yimou 4.5/1, Thirty two runs since last win in 2020. Last of 11 in handicap (8/1) at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Well treated on Polytrack form in midwinter; not out of this but in-form rivals to beat.
3	5 3rd (5) (7.5/1 -36%) Josies Kid	7.5 7.5/1(-36%)	(5) Josies Kid 7.5/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. 4/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy) 29 days ago, always behind. Must bounce back returned to all weather. Two prominent shows at Wolverhampton earlier; needs an extra push to break AW duck.
4	3 4th (3) (2.2/1 -59%) Grandfather Tom	2.2 2.2/1(-59%)	(3) Grandfather Tom 2.2/1, Strong in betting and duly stepped up markedly on his reappearance run over C&D when readily landing 6-runner Lingfield handicap (5f) 7 days ago. Clearly a big player under a penalty. Big weights chance after easy 5f win at Lingfield; 3lb well-in; Tapeta winner elsewhere.
5th	6 5th (6) (7/1 +50%) Thegreatestshowman	7 7/1(+50%)	(6) Thegreatestshowman 7/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, 1¾ lengths sixth of 7 to Dapper Man in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago. Mark has eased plenty but he does need to step up on that if he's to play a lead role here. Mixed in handful of starts on new surface here but creditable 6th over C&D on Monday.
6th	1 6th (1) (3/1 +0%) Dapper Man	3 3/1(+0%)	(1) Dapper Man 3/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Won 7-runner handicap (2/1) at this C&D 3 days ago, edging ahead close home. Rider's claim more than off-sets his penalty and expected to be in the mix again. 5f on new surface here proved a happy hunting ground, won 2-3 over C&D; penalty for latest.
7th	7 7th (7) (100/1 -25%) Straitouttacompton	100 100/1(-25%)	(7) Straitouttacompton 100/1, 4-time course winner. Twenty one runs since last win in 2021. Last of 9 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 40/1) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Hard to make a case for having another crack at the minimum trip. Tackles all sorts of distances and tailed off over 7f here last month.

LTO Selection:

17:13 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 3/1 (1) DAPPER MAN 2nd: 1.38/1 (3) GRANDFATHER TOM 3rd: 9/1 (2) BIRKENHEAD

A determined winner over C&D on Monday, DAPPER MAN is tuned out again quickly under a 4lb penalty and that may not be enough to stop him going in again, especially with Jonny Peate taking off a valuable 5lb. Grandfather Tom arrives with similar claims after an easy success at Lingfield last week, while course winner Thegreatestshowman has become well handicapped of late.

GRANDFATHER TOM capitalised on his much-reduced mark when comfortably seeing off 5 rivals at Lingfield 7 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix once more under a penalty. Dapper Man, a winner himself over C&D on Monday, can give the selection most to think about.

This looks between the C&D specialist Dapper Man and GRANDFATHER TOM who ended a losing run impressively at Lingfield last week.

2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +67%) Bay Of Naples	4 4/1(+67%)	(8) Bay Of Naples 4/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Doncaster (11.9f, soft) 12 days ago. Can bounce back. Second to Tio Mio here on penultimate outing and a rare turf run probably excuses latest.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 +14%) Tio Mio	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Tio Mio 3/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap at this course (11.1f, 9/2) 23 days ago by 4¼ lengths from Bay of Naples, unchallenged. Big shout despite 7 lb hike in the weights. Best run since 2021 came on latest outing when winning comfortably from the front here.
4	4 4th (4) (2.5/1 +9%) Theonlywayiswessex	2.5 2.5/1(+9%)	(4) Theonlywayiswessex 2.5/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win here in March. 5/1, creditable fifth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 23 days ago. Shortlisted. Hung left late on at Lingfield in hat-trick bid but it was otherwise a creditable run.
5th	6 5th (6) (33/1 -200%) Angel On High	33 33/1(-200%)	(6) Angel On High 33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (14.1f, 66/1) 41 days ago. Tongue strap on for 1st time. Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. Well beaten this January/March; has plummeted in the weights; wind op and tongue-tie.
6th	1 6th (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Glen Cove	6.5 6.5/1(-18%)	(1) Glen Cove 6.5/1, C&D winner. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to soft). Off 7 months. Needs to hit the ground running. May be open to further progress now back on AW in this new campaign.
7th	7 7th (7) (11/1 +21%) Prince Abu	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Prince Abu 11/1, Course winner. Latest win here in December. 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at Doncaster (16.5f, heavy) 13 days ago. Back down in trip. In the mix if shrugging off latest effort. Remote when having a very rare start on turf 13 days ago; has bounced back before.

LTO Selection:

17:43 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 3.5/1 (5) TIO MIO seems to be the strongest contender, having won comfortably in its latest outing and showing improvement from previous runs. Bay of Naples and 2.75/1 (4) THEONLYWAYISWESSEX are also strong contenders, having won at the course before and showing good form this year. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be 3.5/1 (5) TIO MIO in 1st, Bay of Naples in 2nd, and 2.75/1 (4) THEONLYWAYISWESSEX in 3rd.

THEONLYWAYISWESSEX may have disappointed at Lingfield last time out, but he still wasn't beaten far and the form of that contest has worked out well since. Alan King's charge was a winner over C&D on his penultimate start and he is narrowly preferred to Tio Mio, who scored here last month. A winner of two of his last three outings, Glen Cove could also have a say in proceedings on his return from a break.

TIO MIO got right back on track when scoring here last time and looks weighted to have a big say again despite taking a 7 lb hike in the weights. C&D winner Theonlywayiswessex is next on the list with Golden Keeper also worth considering having not been seen to best effect when fifth at Chelmsford City.

The reappearing GLEN COVE is 2-2 in AW handicaps over this trip and has not had much racing.

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.
