1	2 1st (2) (9/1 -100%) Midnight Gold		9 9/1(-100%)																															(2) Midnight Gold 9/1, Winless following 8 attempts over hurdles but should put that right before long judged on latest Fontwell (21.8f, good to firm) second in first-time cheekpieces. Up 3 lb but player with Harry Cobden again aboard. Went close in first-time cheekpieces last month; big player if in similar form again.
2	4 2nd (4) (4.5/1 -64%) Faerie Cutlass		4.5 4.5/1(-64%)																															(4) Faerie Cutlass 4.5/1, Clearly benefited from the fitting of a tongue strap and step up to 2½m when proving ¾-length too strong for Mrs Kinsella at Worcester (good) recently. It's likely to be close between them once more but, unlike the runner-up, this mare remains open to improvement. Finished well to open account at Worcester last month and has scope for further progress.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 -25%) Bella Ciao		20 20/1(-25%)																															(7) Bella Ciao 20/1, Has failed to improve on what she showed in maiden/novice company switched to handicaps the last twice, and hopes now pinned on the addition of cheekpieces sparking improvement. Has undergone a wind op since latest start. Well beaten in first two handicaps; had wind op since; now sports cheekpieces.
4	3 4th (3) (1.25/1 +58%) Malina Ocarina		1.25 1.25/1(+58%)																															(3) Malina Ocarina 1.25/1, Landed a gamble when notching third career success over this C&D (good) 19 days ago. 5 lb rise tolerable and slick-jumping will stand her in good stead, so she's a must for the shortlist with conditions again in her favour. Won in pretty good style over C&D last month and recent 5lb rise is not excessive.
5th	1 5th (1) (6/1 +50%) Maria Magdalena		6 6/1(+50%)																															(1) Maria Magdalena 6/1, On a long losing run and while she was placed on several occasions last year, it's hard to draw too many positives from her effort at Market Rasen, even allowing for that fact that she was returning from a 6-month break. Made low-key reappearance last month but has slipped to a very tempting mark.
8	8 |F| (8) (25/1 +0%) Blitz Spirit		25 25/1(+0%)																															(8) Blitz Spirit 25/1, Fair performer on the Flat in France but she has yet to make a meaningful impact in this sphere, for all that she has a couple of half-decent efforts to her name. Has undergone a wind op and now tried in blinkers and a tongue strap. 0-6 over hurdles; off since heavy defeat in November; had wind op in January.
5	5 |PU| (5) (4.5/1 -35%) Mrs Kinsella		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(5) Mrs Kinsella 4.5/1, Another maiden who should get her head in front at some point soon judged on her recent effort at Worcester where she was collared close home by the re-opposing Faerie Cutlass. That said, she will do well to reverse the placings with Kim Bailey's unexposed representative. Ran big race before succumbing to Faerie Cutlass in closing stages at Worcester last month.
6	6 |PU| (6) (66/1 -230%) Shee's A Stella		66 66/1(-230%)																															(6) Shee's A Stella 66/1, Very little to shout about in a trio of runs over hurdles for Debra Hamer and transformation needed now going handicapping for new yard. Well beaten in three novice hurdles for Debra Hamer; makes stable/handicap debut here.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Supporters of Midnight Gold will be pleased to see Harry Cobden keeps the ride, especially given the pair only just lost out over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell most recently. However, the daughter of Fame And Glory shaped as though she could need a stiffer stamina test on that occasion, so MALINA OCARINA rates the one to beat. She can defy a 5lb raised mark following a five-length success over C&D last month and is taken to get the better of Faerie Cutlass, who has gone up 3lb following a staying-on success at Worcester.

FAERIE CUTLASS left her previous efforts well behind upped to this trip in a first-time tongue strap at Worcester where she reeled Mrs Kinsella in close home. A 3 lb rise for that looks very fair indeed and, with the strong possibility of better to come, she is taken to get the better of the latter once again. Recent C&D scorer Malina Ocarina and Midnight Gold, who arguably posted her best effort yet at Fontwell last time, are others with claims.

She made a low-key reappearance last month but MARIA MAGDALENA is now very well handicapped and might be the answer.

1	1 (1) (5.5/1 +61%) Jack's A Legend		5.5 5.5/1(+61%)																															(1) Jack's A Legend 5.5/1, Showed a fair bit in bumpers and produced a standout effort over hurdles when third in a Newbury maiden back in December 2021. Not troubled the judge since, though, and makes limited appeal. Not seen since running very poorly on chasing debut in February but on very good mark now.
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 -82%) Tonto Foley		10 10/1(-82%)																															(8) Tonto Foley 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran his best race when fourth on Newcastle handicap debut (16.9f) in February. Failed to repeat that effort in testing conditions at Uttoxeter since but can't be ruled out here. Tongue strap on first time. Travelled well for long way on handicap debut but well held since; needs to settle better.
2	4 2nd (4) (0.83/1 +63%) Nadim		0.83 0.83/1(+63%)																															(4) Nadim 0.83/1, Found improvement when second of 7 on handicap hurdle debut at Stratford (16.3f, good) 9 days ago, running on. 3 lb higher now but may have more to offer yet. Clear second to bang-in-form rival on recent handicap hurdle debut; major player.
3	2 3rd (2) (8/1 -60%) Riggsby		8 8/1(-60%)																															(2) Riggsby 8/1, Fair stayer on the Flat for Julie Camacho and has made the frame in a couple of outings for new connections over hurdles this winter. Likely capable of better, now sent handicapping, and holds solid claims. Had wind operation. Fair Flat-racer who shaped with promise on first two hurdling starts; handicap debut today.
4	5 4th (5) (2.75/1 +21%) Ez Tiger		2.75 2.75/1(+21%)																															(5) Ez Tiger 2.75/1, Bounced back to form when second of 8 in handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 28 days ago, albeit no match for winner. Remains feasibly treated and ought to go well again. 0-10 over hurdles but ran well in defeat behind well-handicapped rival here last month.
5th	9 5th (9) (40/1 +39%) Onnaroll		40 40/1(+39%)																															(9) Onnaroll 40/1, Looks very limited and he's a long way out of the weights. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Headstrong 5yo who is yet to show any worthwhile form after six hurdle runs.
6th	3 6th (3) (10/1 +0%) Let It Shine		10 10/1(+0%)																															(3) Let It Shine 10/1, Poor in bumpers and just similar form over hurdles thus far. Improvement required on handicap debut. Had wind operation. Twice well beaten since fairly encouraging hurdle debut but remains unexposed.

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

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

NADIM found only the progressive Pak Army too strong on his handicap debut at Stratford last Saturday and Milton Harris' four-year-old rates as the one to beat off only 3lb higher. Riggsby looks to be on a fair opening mark on his first foray into this sphere and he can't be taken lightly having undergone a wind operation since placing third at Wetherby in March. Last month's C&D runner-up Ez Tiger completes the shortlist.

Preference is for NADIM, who was clear of the rest when runner-up on handicap debut at Stratford earlier this month and remains low mileage. Riggsby and Ez Tiger rate the principal dangers.

The suggestion is NADIM (nap), who ran on well for a clear second behind a thriving rival on his recent handicap debut.

1	4 1st (4) (4.5/1 -35%) Blue Sans		4.5 4.5/1(-35%)																															(4) Blue Sans 4.5/1, Fit from a point run, could only manage 13 lengths fourth back over hurdles at Worcester (2½m) last month but she is dangerously well handicapped if staging a revival for a yard in very good form. Headgear left off. Well treated on her old form and has had a near-miss at 2m7f in the past; not ruled out.
2	9 2nd (9) (6.5/1 +7%) The Longest Day		6.5 6.5/1(+7%)																															(9) The Longest Day 6.5/1, Poor maiden but has been placed twice in handicaps around 3m since returning from a long absence this spring. 4 lb out of the handicap this time. Placed in the last two of his three runs after long absence; 4lb out of the weights here.
3	7 3rd (7) (1.5/1 +50%) Having A Barney		1.5 1.5/1(+50%)																															(7) Having A Barney 1.5/1, On the up since sent handicapping, including a 20.5f Ayr win in March. Creditable third over 20.5f here latest, sticking on again after getting hampered. Much respected now stepping back up in trip. Stayed on well when third here (2m4f) last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +65%) Robeam		14 14/1(+65%)																															(8) Robeam 14/1, Largely struggled since finishing third in a C&D handicap off 8 lb higher last September and it's likely best to look elsewhere again. Wears a hood for the first time over jumps. Losing run is up to 17 and he's generally struggled under both codes this year.
5th	5 5th (5) (8.5/1 -6%) Barely Famous		8.5 8.5/1(-6%)																															(5) Barely Famous 8.5/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps (first one over C&D) for Ryan Potter last autumn. Also a good second at Huntingdon in October and he shaped better than the result on his recent return to action for new trainer Matt Sheppard. Likely to be sharper with that run behind him. Considered. C&D winner last autumn but she made a low-key start for new yard last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -108%) De Grey Mink		25 25/1(-108%)																															(6) De Grey Mink 25/1, Modest form at best, pulling up on yard debut a year ago. Off since. Tongue tied first time. Best to look elsewhere unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Pulled up in both his runs last year and has a lot to prove after another lengthy absence.
7th	1 7th (1) (40/1 -300%) Here We Have It		40 40/1(-300%)																															(1) Here We Have It 40/1, Overcame poor position to win a 2m handicap chase here in December but has struggled for form since, including remote fourth over fences here (2m again) last month. Remains to be seen whether a return to hurdles and a significant step back up in trip helps to spark a revival. Has been disappointing over fences this year and has plenty to prove back over hurdles.
2	2 |PU| (2) (7/1 -8%) Supreme Yeats		7 7/1(-8%)																															(2) Supreme Yeats 7/1, Cosy winner of 20.5f course handicap in November. Not at that level since but his Market Rasen third over an inadequate 2m was better and he's dropped back to that successful mark. No surprise if he goes well. Won over 2m4f here last November but he's not matched that form since; others preferred.
3	3 |PU| (3) (11/1 -38%) Roscoe Tara		11 11/1(-38%)																															(3) Roscoe Tara 11/1, Reached the frame in a couple of maiden hurdles in 2020/21 season. Better effort in handicaps since returning from a long absence when 11 lengths fourth at Ffos Las (2½m) 34 days ago. Longer trip now might help. Seven-race maiden but has shaped as though the step up to 3m could suit.

17:25 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

BLUE SANS was unable to justify strong support on his stable debut at Worcester last month, nevertheless, the Fergal O'Brien-trained mare may travel more kindly now up in distance and it's too soon to be writing her off. Having A Barney arrives in better form than most and must enter calculations, while Roscoe Tara is another who could improve for this stiffer test and can't be discounted either.

The suggestion is HAVING A BARNEY, who was a bit better than the result when third over shorter here last time and is unexposed at this trip. Blue Sans was only fourth at Worcester recently but is well treated on her best efforts and is feared most ahead of Supreme Yeats, who won off an identical mark here last year.

This looks trappy but HAVING A BARNEY gets the vote ahead of Roscoe Tara and Blue Sans.

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.
