1	8 1st (8) (18/1 -29%) Swift Lioness		18 18/1(-29%)																															(8) Swift Lioness 18/1, 4/1, last of 4 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 50 days ago. Dual winner at 2 yrs so she can't be written off. Two 2yo wins; well beaten over 1m2f on her return; this should be more suitable.
2	1 2nd (1) (6/1 -50%) Acotango		6 6/1(-50%)																															(1) Acotango 6/1, 11/4, ninth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 24 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Should go well if shrugging off latest effort. AW winner last year; strong form when second on return; excuse latest; capable of better.
3	2 3rd (2) (5.5/1 +50%) Come Together		5.5 5.5/1(+50%)																															(2) Come Together 5.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 18 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Three modest turf runs but won a Tapeta novice in good style on sole AW run; blinkers now.
4	6 4th (6) (6.5/1 -30%) Garrick Painter		6.5 6.5/1(-30%)																															(6) Garrick Painter 6.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Kempton in February. 4/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (8f, good to soft) 39 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with bounce back required. Couldn't land a blow in a good Goodwood handicap last month; still capable of better.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +20%) Band Of Steel		4 4/1(+20%)																															(3) Band Of Steel 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. 50/1, well-beaten eighth of 9 to Flying Honours in Zetland Stakes at Newmarket (10f, good). Off 8 months. Hood/tongue strap on 1st time. Makes handicap debut with more needed. Out of depth when last seen but promising on AW before; accessories added for h'cap debut.
6th	4 6th (4) (5.5/1 -10%) Metahorse		5.5 5.5/1(-10%)																															(4) Metahorse 5.5/1, Good fifth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at York (7.9f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. On the upgrade recently so merits serious consideration off a 2 lb lower mark. Two wins over shorter last summer; handicapper on top since; AW debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -50%) Inspirited		33 33/1(-50%)																															(10) Inspirited 33/1, Lightly-raced winner. 9/1, second of 4 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 40 days ago, flattered by proximity. Makes tapeta debut. Still needs a couple of these to falter. Ended 2yo campaign with a win and bumped into a good thing on return; remains unexposed.
8th	7 8th (7) (7/1 +42%) Little Edi		7 7/1(+42%)																															(7) Little Edi 7/1, Latest win at Kempton in February. Creditable third of 7 in handicap (9/1) at this course (7.1f) 33 days ago. One for the shortlist. Good record on AW but he'll need improvement for the new trip to defy this mark.
9th	11 9th (11) (5.5/1 +54%) Nights Over Egypt		5.5 5.5/1(+54%)																															(11) Nights Over Egypt 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 11/1) 72 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Others appeal more. Ran well on nursery debut in October; less good on his return; others are more appealing.
10th	9 10th (9) (25/1 -108%) Story Of Peace		25 25/1(-108%)																															(9) Story Of Peace 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 10/1, seventh of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago. Makes handicap debut with more required. Second at Leicester last month (7f, soft); less good last time; opening mark looks tough.

LTO Selection:

15:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TRIP TO ROME had plenty in hand when winning over 7f at Kempton last month and, having finished a close second on unfavourable terms over C&D on his penultimate start, there is good reason to expect the gelding to cope with a workable mark on his handicap debut. Band Of Steel faced an uphill task in the Zetland Stakes last time and is respected now dropped in class. Little Edi can also go well if he copes with stepping up in trip.

METAHORSE has been shown some respite by the handicapper so is worth siding with to get back to winning ways in a race where a number arrive on something of a retrieval mission. That can't be said of Trip To Rome though and Ed Dunlop's recent Kempton scorer rates a big danger. Course third Little Edi appeals as the pick of the rest.

He needs to bounce back from a poor run last time but ACOTANGO's earlier Haydock second strongly suggests he's still well treated.

1	7 1st (7) (16/1 -45%) Star Zinc		16 16/1(-45%)																															(7) Star Zinc 16/1, Eleventh of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Has not matched last year's best in two runs for new yard; down in weights; check betting.
2	1 2nd (1) (6.5/1 -18%) Love Your Work		6.5 6.5/1(-18%)																															(1) Love Your Work 6.5/1, 5-time C&D winner. Respectable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1), not ideally placed. Off 102 days. Significantly back up in trip. Makes plenty of appeal. Conditions no problem and he's on a handy mark; one to consider.
3	5 3rd (5) (5/1 +64%) Nasim		5 5/1(+64%)																															(5) Nasim 5/1, C&D winner. 11/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to firm) 9 days ago, not knocked about. Back down in trip. Eyeshields on 1st time, blinkers on 1st time. MIght bounce back. Often slowly away but really blew the start latest; capable but carries a degree of risk.
4	9 4th (9) (4.5/1 +25%) King Of York		4.5 4.5/1(+25%)																															(9) King Of York 4.5/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (8f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Form dipped in this headgear last time but he'd been threatening beforehand; shortlisted.
5th	13 5th (13) (20/1 -25%) War Defender		20 20/1(-25%)																															(13) War Defender 20/1, C&D winner. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm, 28/1) 13 days ago, very slowly away. Others make more appeal. Down in the weights but it's been a struggle this year; enough to prove.
6th	11 6th (11) (12/1 -33%) Big Bear Hug		12 12/1(-33%)																															(11) Big Bear Hug 12/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 11/4, won 5-runner handicap at Leicester (8.2f, heavy) 31 days ago, well positioned. Makes tapeta debut. Not taken lightly. 14th time lucky when landing a small-field event at Leicester last month; this is tougher.
7th	12 7th (12) (50/1 -257%) Hezahunk		50 50/1(-257%)																															(12) Hezahunk 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 8 in minor event (11/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f), possibly amiss. Off 13 months. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Something to prove. Absent since a poor run on his handicap debut 13 months ago; up in trip for return.
8th	14 8th (14) (8/1 +33%) Written Broadcast		8 8/1(+33%)																															(14) Written Broadcast 8/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 15 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. Third of 4 in claimer (5/2) at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Should give another good account. Return to AW will be in his favour; respected, for all that he's usually seen in Class 6.
9th	2 9th (2) (11/1 -38%) Sharvara		11 11/1(-38%)																															(2) Sharvara 11/1, 8/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Return to AW should help. 2 best runs for new yard have come over 7f at Wolverhampton; lenient mark if back to best.
10th	4 10th (4) (8/1 +27%) Cosmos Raj		8 8/1(+27%)																															(4) Cosmos Raj 8/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to firm, 15/2) 12 days ago. Chance on old form but draw isn't ideal. Dropping down the weights and latest run offered hope; 0-7 on AW but handles Tapeta.
11th	6 11th (6) (6/1 +20%) Bushfire		6 6/1(+20%)																															(6) Bushfire 6/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, heavy, 7/2) 32 days ago. Might well have needed that run and could show more here. Placed twice on Tapeta in late 2022 for this yard; low-key return to action last month.
12th	3 12th (3) (18/1 -50%) Abnaa		18 18/1(-50%)																															(3) Abnaa 18/1, Course winner. 3 wins from 12 runs this year. 18/1, last of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 35 days ago. Now below last winning mark but not threatening to capitalise. Dangerous on this year's best AW form but he's gone off the boil more recently.
13th	10 13th (10) (40/1 -122%) The Nail Gunner		40 40/1(-122%)																															(10) The Nail Gunner 40/1, Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 7/1) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Ivan Furtado. Not completely dismissed. All wins over 6f at Wolverhampton; back up in trip for his stable debut.
14th	8 14th (8) (22/1 -10%) Eminent Hipster		22 22/1(-10%)																															(8) Eminent Hipster 22/1, 5/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) 31 days ago. Questions to answer at the moment. Dropped a long way in the weights but hasn't really looked like capitalising; others safer.

16:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

BIG BEAR HUG has held her form since she returned to action and, having shown tenacity to win at Leicester last month, she is an appealing option to register back-to-back wins off just 2lb higher. The switch in surfaces is a slight concern given she is unproven on Tapeta, which creates hope for any faithful supporters of Written Broadcast, who can be expected to be thereabouts despite yet to be successful over this trip. Love Your Work completes the shortlist.

LOVE YOUR WORK shaped well over a trip short of his optimum at Newcastle when last seen and he now has his ideal conditions after a break, so he gets the nod ahead of the likeable Written Broadcast. Bushfire is likely to come on for his reappearance, so he's of interest from a handy mark.

Love Your Work is a contender back from a break but BUSHFIRE can leave last month's turf reappearance behind him.

1	4 1st (4) (4.5/1 -29%) Mr Fustic		4.5 4.5/1(-29%)																															(4) Mr Fustic 4.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 41 days ago, well on top finish. 3 lb rise fair enough and it's not hard to envisage him going well again. Battled well to win at Kempton last month and this return to Tapeta will suit.
2	12 2nd (12) (12/1 -20%) Barney's Angel		12 12/1(-20%)																															(12) Barney's Angel 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 7/2) 29 days ago. Should pick up a race before long. Placed over 7f here on seasonal/handicap debut and has since run well over 8.6f; a player.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 +33%) Vitralite		2 2/1(+33%)																															(2) Vitralite 2/1, Two wins from 4 runs this year, the latest at Yarmouth in April. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (11/4) at Nottingham (8.3f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Shortlist material. 2-4 since returning from Hong Kong and today's return to Tapata ought to suit.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 -43%) Elshaameq		20 20/1(-43%)																															(5) Elshaameq 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 14 in handicap at Wetherby (10f, good to firm, 16/1) 28 days ago, folding. Now tried in a hood/tongue strap and worth noting that his sole previous AW start resulted in his best effort to date. Well beaten on last month's handicap debut; back in trip with headgear added here.
5th	1 5th (1) (33/1 -106%) Give It Some Teddy		33 33/1(-106%)																															(1) Give It Some Teddy 33/1, Seventh of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (8f, good) 24 days ago, badly hampered. Down another 2 lb but he hasn't managed to match anything like his peak turf form in 4 previous starts on the AW. Yet to hit top gear this season but on a workable mark for this rare AW start.
6th	13 6th (13) (5.5/1 +35%) Kodebreaker		5.5 5.5/1(+35%)																															(13) Kodebreaker 5.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to firm, 4/1) 14 days ago. Can make his presence felt. Very consistent 4yo who has won twice here this year (7f/1m); probably in the mix again.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Le Reveur		6.5 6.5/1(+35%)																															(10) Le Reveur 6.5/1, Unreliable sort. 11/1, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Newbury (8f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Lurking on an attractive mark and possibilities if he puts his best foot forward. Ran quite well on seasonal debut and remains on a good mark; might be the answer.
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +21%) Kaaranah		11 11/1(+21%)																															(7) Kaaranah 11/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 17/2) 35 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Hasn't fired on any of three appearances this year; considered only if lively in betting.
9th	11 9th (11) (10/1 +38%) Grangeclare View		10 10/1(+38%)																															(11) Grangeclare View 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form sixth of 15 in handicap (18/1) at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 63 days ago. Not without each-way hope. Ran okay on turf in April and is on workable mark for AW return but others appeal more.
10th	3 10th (3) (33/1 -32%) Watermelon Sugar		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) Watermelon Sugar 33/1, Course winner. 40/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Needs to better his recent efforts but is well handicapped for this first attempt at 1m.
11th	8 11th (8) (50/1 -317%) Cabinet Maker		50 50/1(-317%)																															(8) Cabinet Maker 50/1, 7/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) when last seen in December. Back down in trip and minor place money is probably the best outcome his connections can hope for on this occasion. Triple Polytrack winner last summer but out of form when last seen in the autumn.
12th	14 12th (14) (100/1 +20%) Straitouttacompton		100 100/1(+20%)																															(14) Straitouttacompton 100/1, Four-time C&D winner but it's been 22 runs since last win in 2021. Last of 7 in handicap (100/1) at this course (5f) 33 days ago and now moves back up in trip. 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights. 0-15 for current stable since the autumn and can't be recommended from out of the weights.
13th	9 13th (9) (25/1 +24%) Bond Boy		25 25/1(+24%)																															(9) Bond Boy 25/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. Ninth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 33/1) 36 days ago. Visor back on and he needs to bounce back in a major way. Out of form in recent weeks and needs to turn things around.

16:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Mr Fustic won with a determined effort at Kempton last month and rates a player off just 3lb higher, while Vitralite is taken seriously given he has won two of his four starts since returning to the UK after a stint in Hong Kong and still looks attractively weighted in comparison to his past ratings. However, the consistent KODEBREAKER seems to come alive on this surface and could be hard to beat off just 3lb higher than his last winning mark.

Though a 7-y-o, VITRALITE is unexposed on the all-weather and was successful at Chelmsford in April before following up in good style at Yarmouth later that month. He could be the answer with Ben Curtis doing the steering. The consistent Kodebreaker has continued to knock on the door since landing a C&D handicap off 3 lb lower in March and is feared most ahead of Mr Fustic. Among those likely to go off at bigger prices, Elshaameq is worth a second look.

After shaping well on his seasonal debut at Newbury, LE REVEUR can go well off his current mark if that run has brought him on.

1	5 1st (5) (5/1 -25%) Ceanna		5 5/1(-25%)																															(5) Ceanna 5/1, C&D winner in December. Too free after 5 months off when tenth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Newmarket (8f, good) 24 days ago. Can give a good account. C&D winner last December but well held on seasonal/handicap debut; needs to bounce back.
2	10 2nd (10) (66/1 -371%) Lady Roamer		66 66/1(-371%)																															(10) Lady Roamer 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in nursery (11/1) at Carlisle (5f, good). Off 9 months. Significantly back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. Makes her AW debut after ten months off; probably best watched unless attracting support.
3	4 3rd (4) (3.5/1 +36%) A Taste Of Honey		3.5 3.5/1(+36%)																															(4) A Taste Of Honey 3.5/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Only sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 10/1) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time so no forlorn hope. Dual Lingfield winner but held over this C&D; claims if bouncing back; cheekpieces on.
4	8 4th (8) (7.5/1 +17%) Lady Nagin		7.5 7.5/1(+17%)																															(8) Lady Nagin 7.5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in April. Seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 41 days ago. This course winner is the sort to bounce back. Dual 6f winner here this year and 7f is not an issue on pedigree; each-way shout.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +21%) Starproof		11 11/1(+21%)																															(9) Starproof 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 16/1, fifth of 10 in maiden at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Makes handicap debut and needs considering stepping back up in trip. Ran well on Polytrack last December; may have needed last month's return; handicap debut.
6th	3 6th (3) (1.75/1 +47%) Fleurir		1.75 1.75/1(+47%)																															(3) Fleurir 1.75/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, not seen to best effect when fifth of 13 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Makes handicap debut and not discounted. Placed in two starts on AW and unlucky not to finish closer on turf last time; respected.
7th	11 7th (11) (33/1 -136%) Dee See Are		33 33/1(-136%)																															(11) Dee See Are 33/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good to soft, 14/1) 22 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Twice runner-up on AW last autumn but well held on reappearance; visor on.
8th	1 8th (1) (18/1 -64%) Tartan Skirt		18 18/1(-64%)																															(1) Tartan Skirt 18/1, Visored for 1st time, good eighth of 14 in minor event (66/1) at Dundalk (7f), not clear run. Off 6 months. First run for yard after leaving Michael O'Callaghan. Needs considering. Curragh maiden winner at 2; stable debut after seven months off; market useful.
9th	2 9th (2) (9/1 -13%) Slainte Mhath		9 9/1(-13%)																															(2) Slainte Mhath 9/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 5/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 37 days ago. Expected to be bang there despite taking a 5 lb rise. 0-7 on AW and stamina to prove, but comes into this in fine form on turf; folly to dismiss.
10th	6 10th (6) (28/1 -75%) Bijjlee		28 28/1(-75%)																															(6) Bijjlee 28/1, 25/1 and blinkered for 1st time, last of 10 in minor event at Jebel Ali (7f). Off 94 days. First run for new yard with more to do now handicapping. 0-6 in the UAE and makes stable debut after three months off; watch the market.
11th	7 11th (7) (25/1 -14%) Amber Dew		25 25/1(-14%)																															(7) Amber Dew 25/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 11/1, good fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 29 days ago. Chance if rediscovering old form. 1-25; best form has come over shorter and vulnerable to an improver.

17:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

FLEURIR wasn't quite seen to best effect when hampered inside the final furlong at Windsor last month, but she is very interesting off a mark of 79 on her handicap debut. Roger Varian's filly may have too much for the in-form Slainte Mhath, who is stepping up in trip, and C&D winner Ceanna. Tartan Skirt is another to note on her first start for the David O'Meara stable.

SLAINTE MHATH has a career-high mark to overcome but is thriving at present and fancied to follow up her Hamilton success and make it three victories in her last four starts. Lady Nagin can get back on track returned to Southwell and is next on the list ahead of handicap debutant Fleurir.

The choice is handicap newcomer FLEURIR whose second behind a useful rival at Newcastle last month suggests she may be on a good mark.

1	6 1st (6) (4.5/1 +63%) Natchez Trace		4.5 4.5/1(+63%)																															(6) Natchez Trace 4.5/1, C&D winner. 25/1, fourteenth of 18 in handicap at York (11.8f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Can take a strong hold (did so when disappointing last time) but there are positives.
2	9 2nd (9) (5.5/1 +50%) Down To The Kid		5.5 5.5/1(+50%)																															(9) Down To The Kid 5.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win here in March. Last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Needs to get back on track. Form of March C&D win looks good and he may bounce back from poor turf runs.
3	3 3rd (3) (6/1 -140%) Bit Harsh		6 6/1(-140%)																															(3) Bit Harsh 6/1, 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Respectable third of 7 in handicap (6/4) at Chelmsford City (13.3f). Holds good claims at these weights after a break. On the up with latest third a clear personal best; big runner.
4	10 4th (10) (6/1 +50%) Typical Woman		6 6/1(+50%)																															(10) Typical Woman 6/1, Good third of 18 in handicap at Newbury (12f, good, 10/1) 25 days ago. Much respected off the same mark on her tapeta debut. 1-1 on AW and second run of this campaign was sound; chance.
5th	4 5th (4) (8/1 +20%) Golden Keeper		8 8/1(+20%)																															(4) Golden Keeper 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. 14/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good) 18 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won lesser C&D contest two starts ago but Pontefract effort 15 days later was less good.
6th	8 6th (8) (7.5/1 -114%) Arcadian Friend		7.5 7.5/1(-114%)																															(8) Arcadian Friend 7.5/1, Shaped encouragingly after 8 months off when fourth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 10 days ago. This low-mileage 1m4f winner can take a big step forward. Player. Hasn't kicked on as anticipated but should be sharper for his return fourth ten days ago.
7th	13 7th (13) (8/1 +68%) Carlos Felix		8 8/1(+68%)																															(13) Carlos Felix 8/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Doncaster (11.9f, good to firm) 24 days ago, slowly away. Not ruled out back on this surface though. Slow starter; fine run of form on AW but below form in two turf efforts last month.
8th	11 8th (11) (12/1 +64%) Golden Dove		12 12/1(+64%)																															(11) Golden Dove 12/1, Latest win at Kempton in March. Only sixth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 7 days ago. Something to find on form. Thrives off honest pace and struck off 2lb lower at Kempton in March; forgive last three.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -20%) Victory		12 12/1(-20%)																															(5) Victory 12/1, Third of 7 in juvenile hurdle at Warwick (16f, soft, 15/8) on NH debut. Off 7 months. Makes tapeta debut. Fairly useful on the Flat so no forlorn hope back in this sphere. More to offer at this kind of trip on the Flat but others, including stablemate, stronger.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 -25%) Ebony Maw		25 25/1(-25%)																															(12) Ebony Maw 25/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 12 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (12.4f). Off 7 months. Doesn't win very often but should be competitive. Big run on AW debut when last seen 214 days ago; player if able to build on that.
11th	2 11th (2) (50/1 -100%) Charlie Arthur		50 50/1(-100%)																															(2) Charlie Arthur 50/1, 5-time course winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (14f), finding less than looked likely. Off 9 months and needs to hit the ground running. A lot to like if able to do himself justice off 271-day break.
12th	1 12th (1) (66/1 -230%) Mhajim		66 66/1(-230%)																															(1) Mhajim 66/1, Lightly-raced winner. 10/11, last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW), missing break. Off 10 months. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Others more persuasive on this occasion. Gosdens have moved him on and he's probably best watched.

17:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

A shade disappointing over further at Chelmsford last time out, BIT HARSH sets the standard on the winning streak he had previous to that, and dropping in distance should be right up his street. Runner-up on three of his last four starts, Ebony Maw deserves a change in luck, while Arcadian Friend must be noted for a stable that continues in excellent form.

A case can be made for lots of these but ARCADIAN FRIEND shaped well after an absence when fourth at Lingfield and hails from a yard well among the winners so gets the vote. Bit Harsh is weighted to have a say on his return from a break and could emerge as the chief danger while tapeta debutante Typical Woman and C&D winner Natchez Trace need factoring in too.

The selection is BIT HARSH (nap) who landed a hat-trick before showing improved form in finishing third on his latest start.

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.
