1	5 1st (5) (4/1 +64%) Late Arrival		4 4/1(+64%)																															(5) Late Arrival 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in July. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Pontefract (6f, good, 17/2) 19 days ago, slowly away. Two wins this year, including C&D, and still on a feasible mark; one to consider.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/2 +0%) Master Dandy		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(7) Master Dandy 7/2, Respectable 2½ lengths second of 6 to Blackjack in handicap (11/4) at this C&D 24 days ago, no match for winner. Merits consideration. More realistically treated now but his latest C&D second to Blackjack will need bettering.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 -22%) Five Winds		5.5 11/2(-22%)																															(2) Five Winds 11/2, Winner at Yarmouth in June. 7/2, good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time and she's a danger to all. Improving with experience; edging up weights but can do better; headgear tried today.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 +0%) Motagally		14 14/1(+0%)																															(8) Motagally 14/1, Unreliable individual. Twenty four runs since last win in 2020. Eighth of 12 in handicap (22/1) at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago. Not found his best this year and his losing run stretches back to September 2020.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -213%) Run This Way		25 25/1(-213%)																															(6) Run This Way 25/1, Three wins from 7 runs this year, latest of them at Ripon in June. Respectable 3¾ lengths third of 6 to Blackjack in handicap (12/1) at this C&D 24 days ago. Shortlist material having been eased 1 lb. Turf hat-trick in Class 6 events this summer; yet to show she's quite so good on AW.
6th	4 6th (4) (7/2 +13%) Blackjack		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(4) Blackjack 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. 9/4, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D 24 days ago by 2½ lengths from Master Dandy, well on top finish. 6 lb rise asks a new question but he's clearly in excellent order. Easy win in a small field here 24 days ago; 6lb rise demands more but likely to run well.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/1 -125%) Daytona Lady		9 9/1(-125%)																															(3) Daytona Lady 9/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. Career best when winning 14-runner handicap at this C&D (22/1) 28 days ago, all out. Up 4 lb but likely to give it another good shot. Narrow winner over C&D four weeks ago; up 4lb but still feasibly weighted; strong pace a +.
8th	1 8th (1) (10/1 -11%) She's Centimental		10 10/1(-11%)																															(1) She's Centimental 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in April. 4/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Can give a good account returned to the AW. Better on AW than turf; handicapped to go well returned to this surface.
9th	9 9th (9) (18/1 -29%) Rogue De Vega		18 18/1(-29%)																															(9) Rogue De Vega 18/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 33/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 10 days ago, nearest finish under a considerate ride. Latest effort was encouraging in isolation but he's no banker to reproduce it.
10th	10 10th (10) (50/1 0%) Barney's Bay		50 50/1(0%)																															(10) Barney's Bay 50/1, C&D winner. 11¾ lengths last of 6 to Blackjack in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 24 days ago. Poor form for new yard this season; too much to prove for comfort.

15:57 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

BLACKJACK is the best place to start as he won with plenty up his sleeve over C&D at the beginning of the month. Despite going up 6lb for that, another bold showing looks assured and his supporters will be pleased to see that Hollie Doyle keeps the ride. Five Winds appreciated the switch back to a synthetic surface when finishing a neck second at Lingfield latest and she heads the list of dangers from Daytona Lady.

FIVE WINDS pulled clear with an unexposed 3-y-o at Lingfield when last seen a month ago and she meets nothing with that sort of profile here, so makes plenty of appeal. Last-time-out C&D winners Daytona Lady and Blackjack head the opposition.

Plenty of possibles but FIVE WINDS is progressive and the addition of cheekpieces could see her take another step forward.

1	5 1st (5) (9/2 +72%) Blazing Son		4.5 9/2(+72%)																															(5) Blazing Son 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Carlisle in June. 12/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 32 days ago, though was in the firing line for a long way. Made all over 7f at Carlisle in June; less good twice since; drops in trip returned to AW.
2	8 2nd (8) (11/4 +54%) So Grateful		2.75 11/4(+54%)																															(8) So Grateful 11/4, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Good third of 14 in handicap (5/1) at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. That was a step up on previous efforts this term. 3 course wins in 2022; best run this year when close 3rd at Redcar last month; e-w shout.
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 -63%) Shalaa Asker		6.5 13/2(-63%)																															(3) Shalaa Asker 13/2, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 17/2) 25 days ago. Well weighted if he can revive. 0-7 this year but he retains ability and this is a drop in class; goes without accessories.
4	2 4th (2) (7/2 +22%) Al Ameen		3.5 7/2(+22%)																															(2) Al Ameen 7/2, Course winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to soft, 9/2) 46 days ago. Visor now the headgear of choice for this habitual slow starter. Capable at this level and probably best to ignore latest Epsom run; new headgear today.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -325%) High Velocity		8.5 17/2(-325%)																															(4) High Velocity 17/2, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, good third of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, good) 13 days ago. Back up in trip. Shortlist material (better on the AW). More promise on turf the last twice; better on AW and should make a bold bid.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 +33%) Bicep		6 6/1(+33%)																															(6) Bicep 6/1, Below form sixth of 13 in handicap at this course (7.1f, 14/1) 24 days ago. Handicapped to win & latest run suggested he was coming to the boil; one to keep an eye on.
7th	9 7th (9) (40/1 -100%) Zargun		40 40/1(-100%)																															(9) Zargun 40/1, Latest win at Doncaster in March. 11/1, respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good). Off 105 days. 5f win in March; fair effort over 6f when last seen in May; others appeal more.
8th	1 8th (1) (25/1 -108%) Bellagio Man		25 25/1(-108%)																															(1) Bellagio Man 25/1, C&D winner. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 74 days ago. Should have come on for that and better on AW (9 lb higher now). One to consider. Conditions to suit and this represents an ease in class on AW; capable but risky.
9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 +0%) Watermelon Sugar		33 33/1(+0%)																															(7) Watermelon Sugar 33/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in April. 16/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Quiet on turf since his stylish AW win in April (6f, Polytrack; one to be interested in.

16:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

This won't take much winning and previous C&D winner SO GRATEFUL could be ready to strike. His latest effort on the turf at Redcar was an encouraging one in defeat, as he only went down by half a length into third over this trip. High Velocity has been running well enough in defeat over 5f on turf and is noted, but a bigger danger to the selection might be Al Ameen in the first-time visor.

The interesting one here is HIGH VELOCITY given the assessor has taken a major chance with him back on his favoured surface. The return to the AW will also suit Bellagio Man so he's a definite threat, along with So Grateful.

The return to AW could see WATERMELON SUGAR bounce back to form. Shalaa Asker is feared most.

1	8 1st (8) (15/2 +17%) Have You A Minute		7.5 15/2(+17%)																															(8) Have You A Minute 15/2, Ninth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft, 14/1) 41 days ago. May have needed last month's Beverley return, but this trip looks sharp enough for him now.
2	1 2nd (1) (1/1 +43%) Waleyfa		1 1/1(+43%)																															(1) Waleyfa 1/1, First run since leaving Alice Haynes when readily winning 7-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good, well-backed 5/2) 6 days ago. Obvious claims under a penalty. Won on stable debut at Brighton six days ago; respected if this race doesn't come too soon.
3	12 3rd (12) (10/1 +50%) Balqaa		10 10/1(+50%)																															(12) Balqaa 10/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 5/1) 30 days ago, faring best of those held up. Looks competitive on form. Just 2-37, has the outside stall and may prefer a stiffer test than this now.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -40%) Back From Dubai		28 28/1(-40%)																															(6) Back From Dubai 28/1, 3-time C&D winner. 28/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Out of form. Lower in the weights than for three of his five wins around here; may be worth chancing.
5th	10 5th (10) (14/1 -56%) Handel		14 14/1(-56%)																															(10) Handel 14/1, One win from 37 Flat runs. 16/1, very good second of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 28 days ago. Enters calculations. Only beaten a short head at Wolverhampton last time, but is just 1-37 (0-25 on AW).
6th	3 6th (3) (12/1 -41%) Boujee Gold		12 12/1(-41%)																															(3) Boujee Gold 12/1, Good third of 12 in handicap (18/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 23 days ago. In the mix. Wolverhampton winner last November and a close third on turf last time; contender.
7th	5 7th (5) (7/1 -100%) Meng Tian		7 7/1(-100%)																															(5) Meng Tian 7/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in April. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 4/1) 4 days ago. Can give a good account. Placed in last two starts and still off last winning mark; should go well again.
8th	13 8th (13) (16/1 +0%) Stand Free		16 16/1(+0%)																															(13) Stand Free 16/1, Won 10-runner minor event at Newcastle (10.2f, 33/1) 24 days ago, always holding on. Back down in trip. More needed back in a handicap. Won a 0-50 classified event last time; will need a good pace over this shorter trip.
9th	9 9th (9) (25/1 -25%) United Force		25 25/1(-25%)																															(9) United Force 25/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 11/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good) 7 days ago. Bit of a mixed bag since returning in June; 0-13 on AW and not quite sure what to expect.
10th	4 10th (4) (22/1 -144%) Angel Amadea		22 22/1(-144%)																															(4) Angel Amadea 22/1, 14/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 30 days ago. 2-3 at Wolverhampton, but 0-25 elsewhere and well held in one visit here.
10th	11 10th (11) (33/1 -32%) Hailey Ya Mal		33 33/1(-32%)																															(11) Hailey Ya Mal 33/1, Ninth of 13 in handicap (50/1) at Catterick (7f, good), merely passing beaten rivals. Off 118 days. Best efforts have come on Tapeta, but he will need to find plenty more to break his duck.
12th	14 12th (14) (25/1 -79%) Liv Lucky		25 25/1(-79%)																															(14) Liv Lucky 25/1, One win from 31 Flat runs. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, good fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (6.1f) 8 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. Others have achieved more. Still has stamina to prove and a record of 1-31 suggests that others are more likely.
13th	2 13th (2) (80/1 -100%) Falcon		80 80/1(-100%)																															(2) Falcon 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 33 days ago.

17:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A change of scenery appears to have revitalised WALEYFA. The six-year-old forged clear to win at Brighton on last week's debut for a new yard and a 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor her in this. Boujee Gold finished a close-up third over 7f at Doncaster and returns to her winning distance with strong claims, while Chelmsford runner-up Meng Tian makes more appeal than Handel of the remainder.

WALEYFA capitalised on a falling mark on her first outing for a new yard at Brighton last week after 6 months off and looks up to defying a penalty if not finding this coming too soon. Handel and Meng Tian are feared most.

It may be worth taking a chance with BACK FROM DUBAI who is lower in the weights than for three of his five course wins.

Winning run ended when seventh of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm) 16 days ago. Completed 1m hat-trick this summer; progress stalled at Haydock latest; needs career best.

9th	7 9th (7) (28/1 -100%) On Point		28 28/1(-100%)																															(7) On Point 28/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8.2f, good to firm, 33/1) 16 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Unplaced in four runs for new yard this year; now tried in cheekpieces.

17:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

ZIPSTER did well to finish within a couple of lengths of the winner when fourth at Haydock, given he was slowly away and failed to get a clear run. He can launch a serious bid off his current mark with more to come. Keep Warm failed to trouble the winner when second at York, but this is less competitive and he merits consideration, while Havanarama also enters calculations back at this lower level having gone close at Doncaster in June.

This has an open feel but ZIPSTER could still have more to offer given how he shaped at Haydock and gets the vote. Keep Warm and Commander of Life head the dangers.

Zipster is dangerous after a better run at Haydock but HAVANARAMA drops back in grade and gets the tentative vote.

18:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A relatively disappointing third when last seen at Hamilton in May, JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON has been given a break and a gelding operation since which could see him improve for going up in trip. A half-brother to Pondus, who ran in a Melbourne Cup, the three-year-old is bred to relish it, and he could have too much for recent Nottingham scorer Defence Treaty, as well as the unexposed Environment Amigo.

JUDGEMENTOFSOLOMON has more to offer now his stamina is drawn out further and he makes plenty of appeal on his first start back after a gelding operation. Environment Amigo is the danger ahead of Defence Treaty.

The call is ENVIRONMENT AMIGO (nap) who ran his best race here and whose pedigree suggests he should relish this stiffer test.

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.
