Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (5/4 +62%) Kalamunda	1.25 5/4(+62%)	(8) Kalamunda 5/4, Lightly-raced maiden. 17/2, good third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, soft) 19 days ago, clear of rest. Makes tapeta debut. Enters calculations. Has improved since handicapping; siblings include several AW winners; one to keep onside.
2	10 2nd (10) (11/1 +21%) Fast Affair	11 11/1(+21%)	(10) Fast Affair 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 10/1 and visored for 1st time, last of 5 in handicap at Ffos Las (10f, heavy) 71 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Five-race maiden who has to bounce back from a very poor effort last time; cheekpieces on.
3	2 3rd (2) (33/1 -313%) Amathus	33 33/1(-313%)	(2) Amathus 33/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 8/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) 59 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Won twice at Lingfield in the summer, but no closer than sixth in seven starts on the AW.
4	5 4th (5) (20/1 +60%) Esticky End	20 20/1(+60%)	(5) Esticky End 20/1, Thoroughly unreliable sort. Refused to race in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 20/1) 38 days ago. Has lost his way and refused to race at Wolverhampton last month; risky.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Meng Tian	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(1) Meng Tian 7/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Much better when third over C&D last time; down another 1lb and major claims.
6th	6 6th (6) (6/1 +40%) Lowick	6 6/1(+40%)	(6) Lowick 6/1, 10/1, bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 14 days ago. Down in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. 0-7; may be suited by the shorter trip but has enough to prove; tongue-tie on.
7th	7 7th (7) (16/1 +11%) Tacitus	16 16/1(+11%)	(7) Tacitus 16/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Winner at Redcar in June. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good, 8/1) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. 1-21 and no closer than fifth in six starts on the AW; others are more likely.
8th	4 8th (4) (6/1 -80%) Premiership	6 6/1(-80%)	(4) Premiership 6/1, 3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 2/1, stretched by longer trip when third of 8 in handicap at Ripon (9.8f, good to soft) 52 days ago. Has good chance on form. Needs to better his previous four efforts on Tapeta, but has improved since; shortlisted.
9th	3 9th (3) (33/1 -18%) Frog And Toad	33 33/1(-18%)	(3) Frog And Toad 33/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 50/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Catterick (7f, soft) 28 days ago. Five efforts for this yard since April leave plenty to be desired; best watched.
10th	11 10th (11) (66/1 +18%) Nelson Bay	66 66/1(+18%)	(11) Nelson Bay 66/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 56 days ago. Back down in trip. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. Has shown little so far including on handicap debut; plenty of improvement required.
11th	12 11th (12) (40/1 -186%) Josiebond	40 40/1(-186%)	(12) Josiebond 40/1, Latest win at Beverley in June. 7/1, last of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, good) 40 days ago, possibly amiss. In the frame in two of her four starts on Tapeta and back off last winning mark.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PREMIERSHIP has done very well since joining the Michael Wigham yard and dropping back in trip looks like the correct move, having won over this distance at Yarmouth on his penultimate outing. The four-year-old remains on a workable mark and he could have too much for Meng Tian and Amathus, who has won two of his last three starts. Others to note include Kalamunda, Lowick and Tacitus.

PREMIERSHIP shaped as if still in good form when stretched by the longer trip at Ripon and remains of interest back at a more suitable distance. Kalamunda has improved since switched to handicaps and is next best ahead of Meng Tian.

The choice is MENG TIAN who ran his best race for a while when third of 12 over C&D 12 days ago.

16:50 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (15/8 +62%) Shakeela	1.875 15/8(+62%)	(8) Shakeela 15/8, 6/1, sixth of 11 in maiden (6/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) on debut 25 days ago, considerately handled. Likely to improve. Caught the eye when sixth on Doncaster debut; improvement can be expected.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/1 -25%) Completed	10 10/1(-25%)	(3) Completed 10/1, 100,000 gns Night of Thunder filly. Half-sister to 1m-11.6f winner Fulfilled and useful 1m winner Back See Daa. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart 7f/1m winner Zibelina. Newcomer from one of the best 2-y-o yards in the country. Stable having a fine season with its 2yos and any market support for her should be heeded.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Battle Queen	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Battle Queen 10/3, €200,000 Churchill filly. Closely related to useful 2-y-o 7f winner Seventh Kingdom and half-sister to 3 winners, including smart 5f-7f winner Lahore. Interesting newcomer. Nicely bred and wouldn't need to be anything special to make an impact; market useful.
4	7 4th (7) (9/2 -29%) Run For The Sun	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(7) Run For The Sun 9/2, Promising type. 3/1, fourth of 12 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) 20 days ago, needing stiffer test. Capable of better now stepping up to 7f. In the frame in both starts at Yarmouth; has shaped as though the extra furlong may suit.
5th	9 5th (9) (7/1 +68%) Word Play	7 7/1(+68%)	(9) Word Play 7/1, Twice-raced filly. 16/1, sixth of 14 in novice at Leicester (7f, soft) 28 days ago. In good hands but more needed. Similar level of form in two starts on turf; improvement will be needed.
6th	10 6th (10) (16/1 -33%) You'vemetyourmatch	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) You'vemetyourmatch 16/1, 20/1, fourth of 9 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. May do better. Some ability on Beverley debut and could make her presence felt.
7th	4 7th (4) (8/1 -33%) Garden View	8 8/1(-33%)	(4) Garden View 8/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 18 days ago. May well do better. Some promise on debut but may need further.
8th	6 8th (6) (50/1 -79%) Roody Toody	50 50/1(-79%)	(6) Roody Toody 50/1, Seemed to leave her debut form well behind when eighth of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 10 days ago, but she has the run of the race from the front and might be flattered. Some promise on second start but may still be more one for nurseries after this.
9th	5 9th (5) (200/1 +0%) Grand Lady	200 200/1(+0%)	(5) Grand Lady 200/1, 1,000 gns Lightning Spear filly but is related to winners. Betting should help guide to expectations. 1,000gns yearling; stable has few 2yo winners first time out.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

RUN FOR THE SUN has shown more than enough in both career outings to suggest that she can get off the mark now, with the step up in trip expected to eke out further improvement. Cloudy Skye disappointed last time out but she had gone well prior to that, while Shakeela ran with credit on her racecourse bow at Doncaster. A costly purchase at the sales and closely related to a couple of smart sorts, Battle Queen looks to be the pick of the newcomers.

RUN FOR THE SUN gets the vote with 7f promising to suit her but a strong market move for well-bred newcomers Battle Queen and/or Completed would put a slightly different slant on things. Cloudy Skye got stuck in the mud last time but showed promise prior to that and also merits respect.

It may be worth siding with CLOUDY SKYE who has shown ability and whose half-brother won twice over this C&D earlier in the year.

17:25 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1/1 +47%) Spinto Soprano	1 1/1(+47%)	(6) Spinto Soprano 1/1, Promising individual. Fifth of 9 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut 33 days ago, not knocked about. Should have more to offer for yard enjoying a fine season with its 2-y-os. Fifth on last month's Salisbury debut; well bred and open to improvement.
2	5 2nd (5) (28/1 -229%) Secret World	28 28/1(-229%)	(5) Secret World 28/1, Foaled February 17. Dark Angel filly. Dam French maiden half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Billesdon Brook, who won 1000 Guineas/Sun Chariot Stakes. Lots to like on paper and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour. Something to like on pedigree and the market should be revealing.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/1 -40%) Stars Away	7 7/1(-40%)	(7) Stars Away 7/1, Foaled May 2. Starspangledbanner filly. Half-sister to 7f/1m winner Baltic Coast. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to Coventry Stakes winner Rajasinghe. Top yard can ready a newcomer and she needs close attention in the betting. Pedigree suggests this may be as far as she wants, but any money for her should be noted.
4	3 4th (3) (80/1 -142%) Lady Masar	80 80/1(-142%)	(3) Lady Masar 80/1, Once-raced filly. 33/1, last of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 14 days ago. Big step forward will be needed if she's to feature prominently here. Last of eight on her Newcastle debut a fortnight ago; needs to leave that effort behind.
5th	2 5th (2) (40/1 -233%) Inkara	40 40/1(-233%)	(2) Inkara 40/1, Twice-raced filly. 12/1, eighth of 9 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 13 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Well held in two starts over 6f; needs this for a mark.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/2 +30%) Elegant Friend	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(1) Elegant Friend 7/2, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 14 in minor event (9/2) at Leicester (7f, soft) on debut 28 days ago. Likely to leave that form well behind in time for his powerful connections. May improve from her debut effort and stable has a good strike-rate here.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/5 -16%) Salamanca City	3.2 16/5(-16%)	(4) Salamanca City 16/5, Once-raced filly. 17/2, fourth of 14 in maiden at Kempton (7f) on debut 27 days ago, running on late. Yard's 2-y-os usually come on for a run and this filly is likely to be no different, so she's one to consider. Fourth on last month's Kempton debut; form may not be that strong, but open to improvement.
8th	8 8th (8) (200/1 -100%) The Real Mckay	200 200/1(-100%)	(8) The Real Mckay 200/1, Foaled May 26. €40,000 yearling, Magna Grecia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 4f-7f winner Gamgoom and 2-y-o 6f winner Impulsion. Yard rarely strikes with 2-y-o newcomers. Makes some appeal on breeding, but stable not noted for winning newcomers.
9th	9 9th (9) (28/1 +15%) Zousca	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) Zousca 28/1, Foaled April 20. €24,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Zoustar filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Yuan Prince. Dam, 7f winner, sister to smart sprinter Move In Time. By no means devoid of appeal on paper and market should point the way. Stable can get them ready first time so worth a market check.

LTO Selection:

17:25 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A well-bred sort by Invincible Spirit who cost a pretty penny at the sales, SPINTO SOPRANO went well for a long way before fading late on her debut at Salisbury last month. Plenty of improvement is expected on that effort and she can break the maiden at the main expense of Elegant Friend and Salamanca City, who didn't do herself any favours when slowly away at Kempton before running on late for fourth.

SPINTO SOPRANO looked in need of the experience when fifth behind her better-fancied stablemate Skellet in a useful-looking Salisbury maiden on debut last month. She will be more street-wise this time and is taken to add to the Ralph Beckett yard's impressive haul of 2-y-o winners in 2023. Salamanca City and Elegant Friend are likely improvers too, and are feared most in that order of preference, while newcomers Secret World and Stars Away are both appealing on paper.

The vote goes to SPINTO SOPRANO who has a nice pedigree and the form of her Salisbury debut has since been boosted.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +53%) Dolce Courage	4 4/1(+53%)	(2) Dolce Courage 4/1, 160,000 gns yearling, Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including 1m winner Red Poppy and 6f winner Daddys Poppit. Dam, 1m-11f winner, sister to very smart winner up to 1½m Bronze Cannon. Wears tongue strap. One to note. 160,000gns yearling; siblings include winners on Tapeta and Polytrack; check the market.
2	9 2nd (9) (0.67/1 +51%) Vultar	0.67 0.67/1(+51%)	(9) Vultar 0.67/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Third of 9 in novice (9/4) at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago, left poorly placed. Form pick. Useful level of form at 7f and 6f, including on Kempton AW latest; good claims.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 -125%) Ludden Lass	18 18/1(-125%)	(10) Ludden Lass 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable second of 8 in maiden (3/1) at Catterick (7f, good to firm). Off 122 days. Front-runs; bled from nose in May; needs more than latest Catterick 2nd in June.
4	8 4th (8) (14/1 -56%) Souffionne	14 14/1(-56%)	(8) Souffionne 14/1, 80,000 gns yearling, No Nay Never gelding. Dam, unraced, closely related to winner up to 1¼m (stayed 13f) Robin Hood and 1½m/12.5f winner Shada (both useful). Wears tongue strap. Middle-distance/staying slant to pedigree on dam's side suggest staying potential.
5th	3 5th (3) (15/2 +53%) Falcon	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(3) Falcon 15/2, Exceed And Excel colt. Closely related to 1¼m-11.6f winner Fashion Parade and half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner Carnevale and 1¼m winner Winterval. Ninth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f, 7/2) on debut, not knocked about. Off 8 months. Should have more to offer. 7-2 for 6f debut at Kempton but faded away slowly; gelded since; bred to improve for 7f+.
6th	6 6th (6) (25/1 -79%) Light Speed	25 25/1(-79%)	(6) Light Speed 25/1, €53,760 yearling, Mehmas gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1m Dubara and winner up to 1½m Kikonga, both useful. Dam 11.5f winner. Dam bred winners on AW; useful pedigree but longer trips likely to be in order.
7th	7 7th (7) (18/1 -50%) Plink	18 18/1(-50%)	(7) Plink 18/1, Zoustar gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Pop Favorite. Dam, 7f winner, sister to smart 2-y-o 6.5f/7f winner Naaqoos. 7/4, fifth of 8 in novice at Redcar (6f, good) on debut 21 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Modest start over 6f but bred to go well over 7f on Tapeta so could improve plenty.
8th	5 8th (5) (40/1 +39%) Jumeira Vision	40 40/1(+39%)	(5) Jumeira Vision 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when seventh of 9 in maiden (12/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Needs plenty more than he's shown for the Gosdens and this yard; handicaps more likely.
9th	4 9th (4) (14/1 +79%) Favorite Boy	14 14/1(+79%)	(4) Favorite Boy 14/1, Twice-raced maiden on Flat. Fifth of 10 in novice at this course (8.1f, 66/1) 12 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looked to have ability over 1m here last time; not sure to be suited by 7f; handicaps soon.
10th	1 10th (1) (250/1 +0%) Brazen Rascal	250 250/1(+0%)	(1) Brazen Rascal 250/1, Brazen Beau gelding. Dam winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Eighth of 10 in novice (33/1) at this C&D on debut 34 days ago. Had wind op before 33-1 debut over C&D, when never sighted after a slow start.
11th	11 11th (11) (200/1 -33%) Spring Chorus	200 200/1(-33%)	(11) Spring Chorus 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 28/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Down in trip. Signs of some ability over 1m on debut; drop to 7f and switch to AW raises questions.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VULTAR sets the bar quite high based on the official ratings and could be hard to beat if he runs true to his opening mark of 83. He finished a close third behind a couple of useful looking fillies at Kempton last time and, with the winner of that race subsequently allotted a figure of 90, the hint is too big to ignore. Summer Of Love ran green on debut but is entitled to be wiser now, while well-bred newcomers Souffionne and Dolce Courage both warrant betting checks.

Clear form pick VULTAR was left poorly placed after a tardy start when beaten favourite in a similar event at Kempton 3 weeks ago and is worth another chance. Summer of Love made an eye-catching debut at Kempton so rates the main threat, though well-connected newcomer Dolce Courage needs keeping an eye on.

This can go to VULTAR who has shown promise in all three starts and should be suited by the return to 7f.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +39%) Papa Ricco	5.5 5.5/1(+39%)	(7) Papa Ricco 5.5/1, 14/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this course (14.1f) 12 days ago. Up just 2 lb but this looks more demanding and he'll probably find one or two too good. Narrow winner here recently and the runner-up went into that race in decent form.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.38/1 -142%) Club Manager	1.38 1.38/1(-142%)	(4) Club Manager 1.38/1, Promising sort. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (16f, heavy) 6 days ago, cosily. Unexposed at this trip and will take plenty of stopping under a penalty. Penalised for last week's Nottingham win when trying 2m for the first time.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -33%) Easy Equation	12 12/1(-33%)	(3) Easy Equation 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. 13/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Bath (14f, good) 40 days ago. Looks vulnberable for win purposes. Ground too soft last time; rarely wins (3-35) but has a big run in him.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +61%) Ship To Shore	3.5 3.5/1(+61%)	(2) Ship To Shore 3.5/1, Winner here in June. 14/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 57 days ago, not ideally placed. Worth a second look eased slightly in class here with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Respected returned to a venue at which he has form figures of 4371.
5th	1 5th (1) (7/2 +30%) Wannabe Brave	3.5 7/2(+30%)	(1) Wannabe Brave 7/2, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 7/2) 13 days ago. 1 lb lower now and looks sure to be on the premises. Unable to exploit his sliding mark this year but gives his running more often than not.
6th	5 6th (5) (28/1 +20%) Kitten's Dream	28 28/1(+20%)	(5) Kitten's Dream 28/1, Unreliable individual. C&D winner. 13¼ lengths eighth of 12 to Papa Ricco in handicap (22/1) at this course (14.1f) 12 days ago. Looks up against it. Two wins here and plenty of places; however, recent form isn't the most convincing.
7th	6 7th (6) (125/1 -25%) Autolycus	125 125/1(-25%)	(6) Autolycus 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 80/1, first run since leaving Amanda Perrett when last of 5 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f). Off 6 months and big step forward needed here upped in trip with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. Has finished last in both handicaps (1m4f); goes up in trip with cheekpieces added.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CLUB MANAGER, a half-brother to useful hurdler Taglietelle, has flourished since being upped in trip and, having finished full of running when winning over two miles at Nottingham last week, he is a live contender for further success under a 6lb penalty. Papa Ricco got up late over 1m6f here last month and can go well off 2lb higher, with the additional yardage not expected to be a problem. Wannabe Brave is also considered off 7lb lower than his last winning mark.

The well-related CLUB MANAGER improved for the step up to 2m when scoring in cosy fashion at Nottingham recently and, with the promise of better to come from him at this trip, he is taken to follow up under a penalty. Wannabe Brave is 7 lb below the mark off which he gained his breakthrough success at Kempton last November and looks a threat on the back of a creditable third at the same course, while Ship To Shore and Papa Ricco can do battle for minor honours.

It was no surprise to see the well-bred CLUB MANAGER appreciate the step up to 2m at Nottingham and he's taken to defy a penalty.

2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 -50%) Noteable	9 9/1(-50%)	(1) Noteable 9/1, Very good second of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Thirsk (6f, good to soft) 39 days ago, would have benefited from stronger handling. Can give a good account. 0-15; ran well for 2nd at Thirsk last month but more will be needed to take this.
3	10 3rd (10) (18/1 -13%) Billian	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Billian 18/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in May. Seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. Slow starter but well capable of featuring at this level; fast pace would suit; contender.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 +64%) Coaxing	2.5 5/2(+64%)	(3) Coaxing 5/2, Course winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy, 9/2) 17 days ago, going off too hard. Returning to AW and 6f should be beneficial; dangerous mark; shortlisted.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/4 +54%) Flavius Titus	2.75 11/4(+54%)	(9) Flavius Titus 11/4, Latest win at Thirsk in August. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Ripon (6f, good, 8/1) 10 days ago. Can make presence felt. Slow starter but he's been in good form this summer, including C&D: each-way claims.

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 6/1) 29 days ago, nearest finish. Not taken lightly. She's been competitive off her reduced mark of late and needs serious consideration here.
7th	8 7th (8) (13/2 -8%) Congress	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) Congress 13/2, C&D winner. Winner here in August. 20/1, good second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 29 days ago, never nearer. Respected. C&D winner in August and ran well for 2nd at Newcastle latest; each-way claims again.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/2 +39%) Bungle Bay	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(5) Bungle Bay 11/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 17/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 18 days ago. Two 6f wins at Wolverhampton this year; still on a fair mark and he's one to consider.
9th	2 9th (2) (80/1 -21%) Tangled In Time	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Tangled In Time 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 66/1). Off 96 days. First run for yard after leaving Charlie Fellowes. Finished last in two handicaps this summer before changing hands for 2,500gns; risky.
10th	11 10th (11) (22/1 -175%) Malinheadsearovers	22 22/1(-175%)	(11) Malinheadsearovers 22/1, Sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 10/3) 11 days ago, doing too much too soon. Hood back on. Not taken lightly. Has hinted at winning potential; return to 6f can suit, as may the return of a hood.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Noteable is still low mileage and, having shown improvement since undergoing wind surgery in May, she could have more to offer. However, a drawn in stall 10 is a disadvantage and she also looks vulnerable under top-weight. With that in mind, previous C&D winner CONGRESS shades the vote. Jonny Peate got a good tune out of the selection when a close second at Newcastle last month and, off just 1lb higher, the three-year-old can go one place better here. The in-form Flavius Titus is another to consider.

ANGEL AMADEA caught the eye when finishing with running left back from a break at Newcastle 11 days ago and she's one to be interested in again now. Flavius Titus and Malinheadsearovers head the dangers.

Billian should be sharper for his recent return but he may have to give best to the well-treated COAXING (nap).

1	10 1st (10) (3/1 +65%) Canaria Prince	3 3/1(+65%)	(10) Canaria Prince 3/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 14 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good, 20/1) 21 days ago. Placed the last twice and showed promise in one C&D run; each-way claims.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 +8%) Enchanted Night	11 11/1(+8%)	(9) Enchanted Night 11/1, Unreliable individual. One win from 39 Flat runs. Creditable second of 10 in handicap (5/1) at Nottingham (5f, heavy) 6 days ago. No good thing to back it up. Slow starter; hard to win with; ran well last week but unplaced in all seven starts here.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/1 -11%) Basholo	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Basholo 10/1, Latest win at Redcar in August. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 10/1) 11 days ago. Ready winner of a Redcar classified in August; two fair efforts since but 0-12 on AW.
4	1 4th (1) (7/1 +22%) Stallone	7 7/1(+22%)	(1) Stallone 7/1, Back-to-back AW winner under Faye McManoman at the start of the summer, including C&D. Not so good on turf since but a return to AW could spark a revival. The winner of his last two AW starts and still on a feasible mark; set to go well again.
5th	6 5th (6) (22/1 +33%) Brandy Station	22 22/1(+33%)	(6) Brandy Station 22/1, Four-time C&D winner. Also placed here at the start of 2023 and likely needed his outing here at the end of August after 5 months off. Should strip fitter now. Four-time C&D winner; not at best in August but dangerous mark on even this year's best.
6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 +24%) Ma Famille	25 25/1(+24%)	(8) Ma Famille 25/1, Modest form. 25/1, poorly drawn when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6f) 83 days ago. Has fewer convictions than most of these but need to see more. Whiff of ability early in the year but she's made little impact since handicapping.
7th	7 7th (7) (9/1 -157%) Zing Up	9 9/1(-157%)	(7) Zing Up 9/1, Tricky customer but arrives in form, placing twice before finally getting off the mark in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 14 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Should remain competitive up 3 lb. 13th time lucky at Lingfield two weeks ago; more required to defy a 3lb rise in this field.
8th	3 8th (3) (14/1 -40%) Storm Venture	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Storm Venture 14/1, Modest maiden for Richard Fahey, ending his time with that stable with a below-form seventh over C&D 43 days ago. Not an obvious one starting out for a new stable but the booking of Oisin Murphy takes the eye. No progress for R Fahey and sold for 1,000gns last month; Oisin Murphy booked; still risky.
9th	11 9th (11) (40/1 +20%) Koropick	40 40/1(+20%)	(11) Koropick 40/1, Two wins from 52 Flat runs. Forty five runs since last win in 2017. Last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 80/1) 4 days ago. Little of note this year, including at Newcastle on Friday; not easily recommended.
10th	2 10th (2) (7/1 -100%) Mucky Mulconry	7 7/1(-100%)	(2) Mucky Mulconry 7/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in May. Placed on next 3 starts and respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (5f, good) latest. Rare low-key effort latest but consistent beforehand and type to bounce back quickly.
11th	4 11th (4) (11/4 +21%) Mehmo	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(4) Mehmo 11/4, Dual C&D winner in January and added to his tally at Beverley in July. Pair of creditable in-frame efforts here in August and respectable fifth of 7 at Chelmsford (5f) 19 days ago. Player at venue which suits him well. Three wins this year, two over C&D; down in weights; has to be high on the shortlist.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ZING UP gained her first career victory at Lingfield last month following a string of consistent efforts and Tom Ward's filly, who was only making her fourth start on the all-weather, could have more to offer, despite a 3lb rise. Enchanted Night caught the eye when runner-up at Nottingham on Wednesday and she is respected along with Mehmo, who is 1lb lower than his last win at Beverley in July.

Perhaps MEHMO is in a consistent run of form- and can land another C&D win. Stallone is another who knows where the winning post is over C&D and is second choice ahead of recent Lingfield scorer Zing Up.

Mehmo should give it another good go but STALLONE is preferred as he bids for a third AW win of the year.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 -78%) Starstriker	4 4/1(-78%)	(2) Starstriker 4/1, Ran twice in the US at 2. Went close in 5f novice at Windsor on return from 15 months off for a new yard in August. Not in the same form when a well-held third at Lingfield (AW) 16 days later but still an interesting runner on handicap debut under Oisin Murphy. Ran okay on stable debut but less good at Lingfield last time; easy to have reservations.
2	6 2nd (6) (7/1 +0%) Sacred Jewel	7 7/1(+0%)	(6) Sacred Jewel 7/1, Has been unable to make an impact this season. Remains to be seen if a switch to AW improvers matters. Struggled so far in 2023 and opposable despite her drop down the handicap.
3	9 3rd (9) (3/1 +85%) Triple Jaye	3 3/1(+85%)	(9) Triple Jaye 3/1, C&D winner. 12/1, beaten 12 lengths when third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (5f, soft) 6 days ago. calculations. Patchy record this year and opposable despite her useful AW strike-rate.
4	1 4th (1) (3/1 +25%) Profitable Edge	3 3/1(+25%)	(1) Profitable Edge 3/1, Ex-Irish filly who struck at second time of asking for this yard when easily seeing off 3 rivals at Ripon (5f) in August. Good third at Chester next time and latest York sixth came in a big field. Respected now switching to AW. Two good runs in stronger company since a Ripon win in August; leading contender.
5th	5 5th (5) (15/2 +46%) Lotus Rose	7.5 15/2(+46%)	(5) Lotus Rose 15/2, Won at Thirsk in June and back to form when placed at Doncaster and Redcar last month. Ought to be competitive again. On a handy mark but needs to step up on recent efforts; other pace to deal with today.
6th	8 6th (8) (6/1 +0%) Sugar Hill Babe	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Sugar Hill Babe 6/1, Winner at Bath in August. 22/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Chester (6f, soft) 25 days ago. Bath win in August followed by two lesser efforts at Chester; others look stronger.
7th	3 7th (3) (16/1 -14%) Ange De L'amour	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Ange De L'amour 16/1, Nottingham maiden winner at 2. Respectable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, firm, 14/1) on belated reappearance 34 days ago. Claims if she can build on that. Fair return to action when 3rd at Bath last month; needs more to win but still low mileage.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

RODBOROUGH scored twice over C&D before filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle when going in search of a hat-trick. The return to this venue gives the daughter of Mayson an excellent opportunity to strike once again. Profitable Edge has been running consistently well this season and a drop in grade can aid her cause following her most recent effort at York. Starstriker is feared most of the remainder.

Perhaps STARSTRIKER simply found her latest below-form third coming too soon after her good comeback second at Windsor 16 days earlier and she's given another chance now handicapping after a short break. Rodborough arrives at the top of her game and rates an obvious danger. Profitable Edge has made a good start for the Barrons and should also have a part to play if taking to this new surface.

Rodborough is still improving and needs serious consideration but PROFITABLE EDGE can capitalise on today's drop in class.

Nineteen runs since last win in 2022 but placed on last 5 outings, including going down by only a short head over 1¾m here 12 days ago. Player.

Also went close over this C&D prior to that. Absent since a below-form fourth over hurdles at the end of May. Claims if ready to roll after a break. Just beaten here in May and won five days later; off 136 days, but can go well fresh.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Lord Torranaga continues to hold his form well and another bold bid is expected. However, he is likely to be vulnerable for win purposes and the vote, therefore, goes to BLUE HAWAII. A winner when last seen on the level at Nottingham in May, the eight-year-old tasted defeat over hurdles soon after that success, but she has since been freshened up and may pick up where she left off in this sphere. Black Smoke and Spring Glow appeal most of the remainder.

LEDNIKOV is now rated lower than when scoring twice over C&D at the end of 2022 and might be worth siding with to resume winning ways back on AW after a decent run on turf last week. Lord Torranaga has been knocking on the door lately and rates an obvious danger. Oriental Art has proved expensive to follow but is more than capable of making an impact now dropping into a 0-60 for the first time.

The choice is SPRING GLOW who must have a solid chance if able to replicate his third of 14 from 2lb higher over C&D in August.

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.
