10
10/1(-122%)
(2) Glory Call 10/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 10/11, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 35 days ago. Can make presence felt if shrugging off latest effort. Ran poorly last time, but in good form before that and return to 7f no problem; player.

7th (4) (18/1 -13%) Porfin
18
18/1(-13%)
(4) Porfin 18/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 25/1, respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Becoming well treated. Engaged 1.45 Nottingham Wednesday. 3lb lower than when winning at Wolverhampton in July; could run well.

3
3/1(+50%)
(3) Oriental Spirit 3/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Solid sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 7/2) 8 days ago. Can give a good account. 1-23 but 1lb lower than when runner-up at Wolverhampton in July; shortlisted.

10th

10th (6) (7/1 +13%) Back From Dubai
7
7/1(+13%)
(6) Back From Dubai 7/1, 5-time course winner. Creditable 1¾ lengths fourth to Just Ten High at Chelmsford City 21 days ago, but last of 9 in handicap at this course (8.1f, 14/1) on Tuesday. Five-time course winner, but well beaten here on Tuesday; something to prove.
16:24 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Now that the penny has dropped for JUST TEN HIGH after a taking success on handicap debut at Chelmsford last month, Dylan Cunha's charge could go from strength to strength, with a 3lb rise looking a touch lenient. Narrowly denied over 6f here on his penultimate outing, Glory Call is a key player, along with Oriental Spirit, who ran with some credit at Kempton last week.
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Dylan Cunha's lightly-raced JUST TEN HIGH is taken to make light of a 3 lb rise for his breakthrough Chelmsford victory. Oriental Spirit is next on the list on the back of his solid Kempton sixth, with True Blue Gent in the picture too.
There may still be more to come from JUST TEN HIGH following his successful handicap/AW debut at Chelmsford three weeks ago.
(9) Shining River 13/2, Thrice-raced filly. 2/1, fair fourth of 6 in novice at Haydock (8f, good) 34 days ago. One for the shortlist. Just behind Mandana at Haydock in August; half-sister to triple Tapeta winner; shortlisted.

2nd (7) (2/1 +80%) Velvet Whisper
2
2/1(+80%)
(7) Velvet Whisper 2/1, Foaled April 15. €10,000 foal, €25,000 yearling, €42,000 2-y-o, Calyx filly. Half-sister to winner up to 1¼m Chaturanga. Dam useful French 2-y-o 9.5f winner. Noteworthy newcomer. Stable has its fair share of 2yo winners first time out and well worth a market check.
3
2
3rd (2) (125/1 -681%) Bosphorus Rose
125
125/1(-681%)
(2) Bosphorus Rose 125/1, Foaled January 23. Golden Horn filly. Dam, 5f/6f winner, closely related to smart winner up to 7f (stayed 1m) Cable Bay. Market can guide. Stable had a well-backed newcomer go in at Wolverhampton last Saturday; market revealing.
4
3
4th (3) (10/1 -43%) Miss Hathaway
10
10/1(-43%)
(3) Miss Hathaway 10/1, Fair filly. Respectable fourth of 11 in novice at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 17/2) 22 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Remains a maiden after 8 Flat runs. In the frame in seven of her eight starts on turf; player on the pick of her summer form.
5th
8
5th (8) (22/1 -340%) Hock Eye The Noo
22
22/1(-340%)
(8) Hock Eye The Noo 22/1, Twice-raced filly. 10/11, fifth of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 13 days ago. Needs to build on it. Close third on Lingfield debut, but disappointing last time; needs a resurgence.
6th
5
6th (5) (4/1 -33%) Mandana
4
4/1(-33%)
(5) Mandana 4/1, Lightly-raced filly. 9/2, good second of 13 in novice at Chelmsford City (7f) 12 days ago. Big shout on her tapeta debut. Placed in all four starts, including when second at Chelmsford 12 days ago; respected.
7th
4
7th (4) (5/2 +64%) Naturally
2.5
5/2(+64%)
(4) Naturally 5/2, Once-raced filly. Seventh of 12 in maiden (13/2) at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) on debut, not clear run. Off 133 days. Likely to improve. Met trouble when seventh on her Lingfield debut in May; worth monitoring in market.
8th
6
8th (6) (20/1 -100%) Penn Avenue
20
20/1(-100%)
(6) Penn Avenue 20/1, Foaled March 2. Mohaather filly. Half-sister to useful winner up to 8.3f Percy's Lad and 8.6f-1¾m winner Amir Kabir. Dam unraced. Considered. Nice pedigree; stable had a 25-1 winning newcomer at Kempton last month.
16:55 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MANDANA took well to the all-weather when second on her most recent start at Chelmsford and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark. A disappointment when favourite over 1m at Haydock last time out, Shining River is better judged on her penultimate effort when narrowly behind the selection at Haydock in August. Hock Eye The Noo and Miss Hathaway are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
MANDANA possesses the best form on offer so is taken to go one better than her good Chelmsford City second last time out and get off the mark. Miss Hathaway also has the form to play a part and is rated next best ahead of newcomer Velvet Whisper and Kempton debut seventh Bear Facts.
There should be little between MANDANA and Shining River on their meeting in August, with the former taken to confrm the placings.
16:55 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(4) Calaxy 12/1, Twice-raced filly. 200/1, good fifth of 7 in maiden at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Not ruled out. Well held in two starts on turf; looks one for nurseries after this.
2
1
2nd (1) (9/2 +44%) Cosi Bear
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(1) Cosi Bear 9/2, Once-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in novice at Leicester (7f, soft, 66/1) on debut 30 days ago, slowly away. Can build on it. Eighth of 12 on last month's Leicester debut; may need more time.
3
3
3rd (3) (11/8 +0%) Rhyme Dust
1.375
11/8(+0%)
(3) Rhyme Dust 11/8, Promising Sergei Prokofiev filly who came in third of 10 in maiden (25/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on her debut 29 days ago. Sure to progress so she's a player. Close third on Lingfield debut last month; that is by far the best form on offer.
4
2
4th (2) (13/2 -30%) Eva Dickson
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(2) Eva Dickson 13/2, Foaled January 17. Study of Man filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 1½m winner Galapiat out of smart winner up to 11f (2-y-o 7f winner) Lady Jane Digby. Considered. Bred to come into her own over further, but still one to monitor in the market on debut.
5th
6
5th (6) (20/1 -67%) Sangara
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Sangara 20/1, Once-raced filly. 40/1 and hooded, ninth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 24 days ago. More is needed. Ninth on her Kempton debut last month; improvement needed and may need further in time.
6th
9
6th (9) (33/1 -175%) Tootsie
33
33/1(-175%)
(9) Tootsie 33/1, Foaled March 28. 14,000 gns yearling, Footstepsinthesand filly. Dam, unraced, closely related to smart/unreliable 5f/6f winner Conquest. Betting can prove an accurate indicator. Some appeal on pedigree, but stable 3-233 with 2yo newcomers in past five seasons.
7th
5
7th (5) (25/1 -213%) Pink Azalea
25
25/1(-213%)
(5) Pink Azalea 25/1, €23,000F, 36,000Y. Sister to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m winner Indicative Vote and 2-y-o 6f-7f winner Recurrent Dream and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 5f/5.5f winner Powerallied. Dam 7f winner. Noteworthy newcomer. Enough to like on breeding and stable can get them ready first time; watch market.
8th
7
8th (7) (4/1 +33%) Stylish Affair
4
4/1(+33%)
(7) Stylish Affair 4/1, Once-raced filly. 50/1 and hooded, seventh of 11 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, firm) on debut 22 days ago, not knocked about. Open to improvement. Seventh on her Yarmouth debut last month; may still need a bit more time.
9th
8
9th (8) (125/1 -150%) Bonnie S
125
125/1(-150%)
(8) Bonnie S 125/1, Foaled May 5. Washington Dc filly. Dam 2-y-o 6f winner. Market can guide. Wouldn't be an obvious one on debut.
17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Hampered inside the final furlong when a promising third at Lingfield on debut, RHYME DUST is likely to come on plenty for that experience and she looks capable of breaking the maiden with Tom Marquand taking over in the saddle. Cosi Bear didn't show much first time out at Leicester but better can be expected here, while the same could be said of Stylish Affair, who got going late in the piece when seventh at Yarmouth.
Tom Ward's filly RHYME DUST shaped well on her debut when third at Lingfield and with a fair bit of improvement on the cards she looks the way to go here. Yarmouth debut seventh Stylish Affair also has better days ahead of her and is next on the list with debutantes Pink Azalea and Eva Dickson also worthy of respect, especially if the market vibes are positive.
This looks a good opportunity for RHYME DUST who sets a fair standard on her close third on last month's Lingfield debut.
17:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Alfa Whiteburd 9/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. 7/1, landed 13-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Enters calculations. Got up late to win at Newcastle (6f) last month; respected despite the 2lb rise.
2
9
2nd (9) (11/4 +21%) Liosa
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Liosa 11/4, 6/4, ready winner of 10-runner handicap at Kempton (6f) 20 days ago, well on top finish. Looks competitive on form. This is tougher than the Kempton race he won last month but he did it easily; chance.
3
4
3rd (4) (14/1 -17%) Oso Rapido
14
14/1(-17%)
(4) Oso Rapido 14/1, Creditable second of 9 in handicap (11/1) at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Not ruled out. On a dangerous mark and ran okay on turf 12 days ago; widest stall to contend with.
4
5
4th (5) (10/1 +70%) Bellagio Man
10
10/1(+70%)
(5) Bellagio Man 10/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Rated 12lb higher when winning at Newcastle last autumn; needs to step up on recent form.
5th
1
5th (1) (7/2 +0%) Indivar
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(1) Indivar 7/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 13/8) 9 days ago, quickening clear. Carries 6 lb penalty but still looks the one to beat. Drop in trip/class saw him run out an easy winner at Newcastle; well in under penalty.
6th
8
6th (8) (20/1 -25%) Callianassa
20
20/1(-25%)
(8) Callianassa 20/1, 14/1, creditable 3½ lengths eighth of 13 to Alfa Whiteburd in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago, left poorly placed. Shortlisted. 0-14; has dropped to a lowly mark but needs to step up on recent AW efforts.
7th
6
7th (6) (9/1 +55%) Heroism
9
9/1(+55%)
(6) Heroism 9/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventeenth of 24 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm, 40/1) 20 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Has work to do. Not at his best this year and others come here with much less to prove.
8th
2
8th (2) (12/1 -118%) My Awele
12
12/1(-118%)
(2) My Awele 12/1, Lightly-raced winner. 17/2, bagged 11-runner handicap at this C&D 45 days ago. Not taken lightly in her current mood. Easily saw off a subsequent winner over C&D on handicap debut; respected despite 8lb rise.
9th
12
9th (12) (25/1 -257%) Lion Ring
25
25/1(-257%)
(12) Lion Ring 25/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Won 10-runner handicap (10/3) at Chelmsford City (6f) 12 days ago, always holding on. Ought to be in the shake-up. Completed a Polytrack hat-trick last month; taking on stronger opposition this time.
10th
10
10th (10) (14/1 -100%) Eldeyaar
14
14/1(-100%)
(10) Eldeyaar 14/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Ripon (6f, good to soft, 14/1) 12 days ago, kept up to work. Very much one to consider. Two front-running 6f wins last month; well on top at Ripon latest; up in class; chance.
18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Alfa Whiteburd and Eldeyaar, along with the much-improved Lion Ring, are strong contenders despite creeping up in the ratings for their most recent successes. Whereas, Oso Rapido enters calculations from 16lb below his last win. However, it is BELLAGIO MAN who captures the imagination most. A C&D winner off 15lb higher in February 2023, the selection is hard to ignore in a wide-open race.
A competitive handicap but it's hard to side against INDIVAR who still looks ahead of his mark under a 6 lb penalty for his impressive recent Newcastle success. Kempton scorer Liosa heads the list of dangers, although a solid case can also be made for Eldeyaar, My Awele and Alfa Whiteburd.
Six last-time-out winners and it could be that INDIVAR is the best handicapped. My Awele and Bibendum look best of the rest.
(6) Trident 2/5, Promising type. 5/2, second of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 23 days ago, no match for winner. That was a positive start to his career and he's the one to beat. Second on his Newcastle debut last month, a head in front of Jodhpur Blue; the one to beat.
2
3
2nd (3) (11/4 -22%) Jodhpur Blue
2.75
11/4(-22%)
(3) Jodhpur Blue 11/4, Thrice-raced gelding. Third of 12 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 5/1) 23 days ago. Appears to be gradually getting better with experience and likely to be in the mix here. Some promise on turf before finishing third at Newcastle, a head behind Trident; a player.
3
4
3rd (4) (28/1 -75%) Kisdon Force
28
28/1(-75%)
(4) Kisdon Force 28/1, 40,000 gns foal, 60,000 gns yearling, Land Force gelding. Half-brother to winner abroad by Make Believe. Entitled to come on for the run. Winning newcomers from the yard are rare.
4
7
4th (7) (13/2 +7%) Wide Margin
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(7) Wide Margin 13/2, Promising sort. 80/1, ninth of 11 in novice at Kempton (8f) when last seen 10 months ago (gelded since). Capable of better but he will likely come into his own when switched to handicaps. Out of the frame in four starts on the AW late last year; transformation required.
5th
9
5th (9) (40/1 +20%) Sky Lagoon
40
40/1(+20%)
(9) Sky Lagoon 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Eighth of 12 in maiden (150/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 23 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course. Well held in both starts and was well behind two of these at Newcastle last month.
6th
2
6th (2) (66/1 -164%) Instant Bond
66
66/1(-164%)
(2) Instant Bond 66/1, Intrinsic gelding. Brother to smart 5f-6f winner Intrinsic Bond and half-brother to 6f-7f winner Billy Wedge and 1m winner Premiership. Dam unraced. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers but he's worth a peek in the betting all the same. Some appeal on pedigree but stable not known for winning newcomers.
7th
1
7th (1) (250/1 -400%) Howay Never
250
250/1(-400%)
(1) Howay Never 250/1, Twice-raced gelding. 125/1, sixth of 8 in novice at Redcar (6f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Readily passed over. Well beaten in first two starts; may show more once handicapped.
8th
5
8th (5) (100/1 -52%) Prince Elliot
100
100/1(-52%)
(5) Prince Elliot 100/1, Outstrip gelding. Dam of little account, half-sister to smart 7f-8.3f winner Moone's My Name. Doesn't have the look of a first-time-out winner on paper. Stable 0-32 with newcomers in past five seasons.
9th
8
9th (8) (200/1 -203%) Gibraltar Le Bleu
200
200/1(-203%)
(8) Gibraltar Le Bleu 200/1, Once-raced mare on Flat. Tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in novice (200/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on Flat debut 36 days ago. Down in trip and she's difficult to fancy. Well beaten in a Worcester bumper and a Lingfield novice; little appeal.
18:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Just a head separated TRIDENT (second) and Jodhpur Blue (third) at Newcastle last month. The former wasn't done any favours by the draw on that occasion and, open to more progression on just his second start, he can cement his authority. The rest with experience appear a modest bunch and with that in mind, Kisdon Force, a 60,000gns purchase as a yearling, strikes as the most compelling of the newcomers.
It's hard to look beyond TRIDENT, who was a promising second on his introduction at Newcastle and that experience will not be wasted on him. Jodhpur Blue was a decent third at the same course last month and is the clear pick for forecast purposes ahead of Wide Margin.
This is between old rivals TRIDENT and Jodhpur Blue. A head separated them at Newcastle last month, but the form can be confirmed.
18:30 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(12) Lady Of Time 18/1, Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm, 4/1). Off 107 days. Makes tapeta debut. Not easy to make a case for. 0-7 but ran well in last two starts on turf; wouldn't need to find much more on AW debut.
2
11
2nd (11) (25/1 -150%) Fiftyshadesaresdev
25
25/1(-150%)
(11) Fiftyshadesaresdev 25/1, Remains a maiden after 23 Flat runs. 5/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Merits consideration. Not beaten far at Newcastle last month but not so good there last time; 0-26 under rules.
3
3
3rd (3) (18/1 +28%) Sisterandbrother
18
18/1(+28%)
(3) Sisterandbrother 18/1, 33/1, last of 7 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago and a minor role is probably the best his connections can hope for. 2lb below last winning mark, but out of the frame in all four starts on the AW.
4
2
4th (2) (5/2 +58%) Kalikapour
2.5
5/2(+58%)
(2) Kalikapour 5/2, Creditable third of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good to firm, 10/3) 21 days ago. Down another 1 lb and he has to enter calculations. Third in his last two starts on turf and could again go well down another 1lb.
5th
1
5th (1) (10/1 +38%) Lenny's Spirit
10
10/1(+38%)
(1) Lenny's Spirit 10/1, Sixth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Down to a dangerous mark but he needs to bounce back in a major way. 10lb below last winning mark, but 1-21 on the AW and modest of late.
6th
9
6th (9) (33/1 -230%) Lednikov
33
33/1(-230%)
(9) Lednikov 33/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Ninth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Catterick (12.1f, good). Off 150 days and cheekpieces back on. 14lb below last winning mark, but modest this year and back from another five months off.
7th
4
7th (4) (16/5 +47%) The Pug
3.2
16/5(+47%)
(4) The Pug 16/5, Unreliable type. C&D winner. 6/1, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW) 29 days ago. Capable of making his presence felt off this reduced mark. Record over C&D reads 112; 4lb below his last winning mark and respected.
8th
6
8th (6) (13/2 +7%) Olympicus
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(6) Olympicus 13/2, 5/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (9.9f, good to soft) 16 days ago, slowly away. Will need to improve now switched to tapeta if he's to have any chance here. 9lb below sole winning mark, but not shown much since returning in June.
9th
8
9th (8) (11/1 +31%) Zooks
11
11/1(+31%)
(8) Zooks 11/1, Eighth of 11 in handicap (33/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 12 days ago and she looks up against it once more. 0-13 under both codes; still not sure what her ideal trip is; opposable.
10th
7
10th (7) (5/1 -150%) Mon Etoile
5
5/1(-150%)
(7) Mon Etoile 5/1, Won 8-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 7/4) 23 days ago, slowly away. 4 lb rise fair enough and this consistent filly is one of the more appealing candidates. Off the mark when just beating a subsequent winner at Newcastle last time; leading claims.
11th

11th (10) (80/1 -471%) On The Bubble

80/1(-471%)
(10) On The Bubble 80/1, One win from 3 runs this year. Eighth of 12 in juvenile hurdle (20/1) at Market Rasen (16.6f, good) 118 days ago. Opposable. Career has been a contrast so far; not sure what to expect after four months off.

12th (5) (40/1 -233%) Oscar Doodle
40
40/1(-233%)
(5) Oscar Doodle 40/1, Seventh of 11 in novice hurdle (7/1) at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) on latest start 153 days ago. Runner-up when last seen out in this sphere in April and he's of strong interest on debut for new yard. Four AW wins, but makes his stable debut after five months off and the run may be needed.
19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The recent Newcastle winner Mon Etoile is a player, but it's also worth remembering that it took her 16 attempts to get off the mark. Therefore, dual C&D winner THE PUG is preferred from 4lb below the most recent of those successes. Having hinted at a revival of late, the selection has less to prove than most. Kalikapour and lightly-weighted three-year-old Lady Of Time complete the shortlist.
MON ETOILE deservedly opened her account at Newcastle last month and she looks more than capable of defying this 4 lb higher mark. Next on the list is Kalikapour, who has returned to form with solid placed efforts at Thirsk and Pontefract the last twice, and he should have a part to play. Oscar Doodle and The Pug are others with claims.
Mon Etoile holds good claims but preference is for THE PUG (nap) whose record over C&D reads 112.
(2) Blenheim Lad 5/4, Won 10-runner handicap at this C&D (13/2) 14 days ago. 3 lb rise tolerable and he should make his presence felt. Off the mark with clearcut win over C&D two weeks ago; big player again up 3lb.

7
2nd (7) (5/2 -67%) Letmebetheboss
2.5
5/2(-67%)
(7) Letmebetheboss 5/2, 9/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (13f, soft) 9 days ago, pushed out. Escapes a penalty for that and he will prove a tough to crack if able to reproduce that form back on the AW. Escapes a penalty for his Bath win and has strong claims if he can match that back on AW.
3
6
3rd (6) (9/1 -100%) The Resdev Way
9
9/1(-100%)
(6) The Resdev Way 9/1, C&D winner. Twenty-five runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 6 in handicap (3/1) at Brighton (11.9f, good) 39 days ago. Live each-way chance. Several good runs at up to 2m for current yard but he's not won since April 2022.
4
1
4th (1) (66/1 -164%) Fanaigi Linn
66
66/1(-164%)
(1) Fanaigi Linn 66/1, Fourth of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (12.1f, good to soft, 66/1) 10 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and while she would have a chance if on song, others nevertheless make more appeal. Ex-Irish 4yo; record of 0-15 and well held in three runs for current yard; down the list.
5th
10
5th (10) (40/1 -60%) Cookie Queen
40
40/1(-60%)
(10) Cookie Queen 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip and she's not easy to make a case for. Better effort on handicap debut at Newcastle (1m2f) but she needs to build on that.
6th
3
6th (3) (22/1 +12%) Longuerue
22
22/1(+12%)
(3) Longuerue 22/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Ninth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (17.1f, good) 26 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others preferred. Won at Yarmouth in August but she's struggled in both subsequent runs; risks attached.
7th
9
7th (9) (16/1 -129%) Mimasusa
16
16/1(-129%)
(9) Mimasusa 16/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (11/4) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time and she needs to get back on track. Seven-race maiden who has been tailed off last twice; needs major revival in blinkers.
8th
5
8th (5) (25/1 +0%) Oasis Prince
25
25/1(+0%)
(5) Oasis Prince 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 40/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 28 days ago. Probably best to look elsewhere. Fair run at Newcastle after wind surgery but this looks tougher and last win was in 2022.
9th
8
9th (8) (40/1 -21%) Northgate
40
40/1(-21%)
(8) Northgate 40/1, 33/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 17 days ago. Significantly up in trip and hood on 1st time. Opposable. Seven-race maiden and his form has gone the wrong way in handicaps; down the list.
10th
4
10th (4) (7/1 +13%) Catrake Force
7
7/1(+13%)
(4) Catrake Force 7/1, Good third of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (14f, good, 16/1) 8 days ago. 4 lb lower back on the AW and, if able to perform to similar level here, she will be in with a shout. Close third upped to 1m6f at Musselburgh last week and she's 4lb lower here; interesting.
19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LETMEBETHEBOSS appeared to relish the step up in trip when fairly bolting up over 1m5f at Bath last week and, having escaped a penalty for winning an apprentice handicap, he looks the one to side with. Blenheim Lad did it well when scoring over C&D last month and he must enter calculations off 3lb higher, while better can be expected from Mimasusa now she sports blinkers for the first time.
LETMEBETHEBOSS raised his game when getting off the mark at Bath last week and, with no penalty to carry, he is confidently expected to strike again. Next on the list is Catrake Force, who performed with credit when finishing in the money at Musselburgh recently. A 3 lb rise for Blenheim Lad's C&D success a fortnight ago doesn't look excessive and he is third choice.
An interesting race in which recent C&D winner BLENHEIM LAD gets the vote ahead of last week's Bath winner Letmebetheboss.
(3) Wahraan 8/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Newbury in June. Last of 6 in handicap (11/2) at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Looks risky. Slow breaks have become a habit and remains 3lb above his last winning mark.
2
8
2nd (8) (7/2 +0%) Galactic Charm
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(8) Galactic Charm 7/2, Winner at Newmarket in August. 7/1, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Can make presence felt here off the same mark. Latest Yarmouth third has been boosted; placed in all three starts on AW; should go well.
3
5
3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) Howth
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Howth 8/1, Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 8/1) 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Couldn't rule out. 2lb lower than for his win over this trip at Wolverhampton in March; one for the shortlist.
4
9
4th (9) (11/4 +21%) Across Earth
2.75
11/4(+21%)
(9) Across Earth 11/4, Winner at Yarmouth in July. 11/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (14f, good) 33 days ago, slowly away. Too free on that occasion and will have a chance if settling better this time. Won over this trip on turf; in the frame in all four AW starts; chance if settling better.
5th
7
5th (7) (10/1 -100%) Knights Affair
10
10/1(-100%)
(7) Knights Affair 10/1, Latest win at Redcar in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Musselburgh (18.1f, good to firm, 7/2) 26 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip and he's one to consider. Has won two of his last four starts on turf; ran well over C&D in only previous go on AW.
6th
2
6th (2) (9/2 -13%) Cool Party
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(2) Cool Party 9/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (11/1) at Ayr (13.1f, good to firm) 19 days ago. 2-5 on the AW and he's high on the shortlist. Made all over C&D in April; a player if again left alone in front.
7th
1
7th (1) (22/1 -100%) Solent Gateway
22
22/1(-100%)
(1) Solent Gateway 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 25/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this 6-y-o looks vulnerable. Inconsistent and hasn't finished within 19l of the winner in last four starts on the AW.
8th
4
8th (4) (9/1 +18%) Diamond Bay
9
9/1(+18%)
(4) Diamond Bay 9/1, 28/1, eighth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (18f, good) 19 days ago. Back down in trip and this 6-y-o isn't as appealing as several of these rivals. 5lb lower than when successful over this trip at Wolverhampton just over a year ago.
9th
6
9th (6) (40/1 -21%) Lunar Power
40
40/1(-21%)
(6) Lunar Power 40/1, Fifth of 8 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (16f) 24 days ago. Blinkers back on and it's probably best to look elsewhere. Not shone in nine starts under both codes for this yard; others make greater appeal.
20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
GALACTIC CHARM caught the eye when staying on strongly to finish third over this trip at Yarmouth last month and that form has since been franked by the runner-up. Off an unchanged mark, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. The class-dropping Cool Party was in winning form over C&D on his penultimate start and is the main danger. Knights Affair wasn't disgraced in a competitive handicap at Musselburgh latest and needs to be taken seriously too.
COOL PARTY was successful back from a break over C&D in April and, having shaped well when fourth back from an absence when fourth at Ayr recently, he is the most appealing option. Glactic Charm arrives on the back of a solid third at Yarmouth and is feared along with Across Earth, who can bounce back returned to calmer waters.
The vote goes to COOL PARTY who made all over C&D in April. He may again prove hard to catch if left alone in front.
(8) Sugar Hill Babe 6/1, Latest win at Ffos Las in July. Good second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 21 days ago. Live each-way chance. Comes here at the top of her game and looks set to go well once more.
2
1
2nd (1) (13/2 -8%) Paddy's Day
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Paddy's Day 13/2, Good second of 10 in handicap (11/2) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Has good chance on form. Conditions should suit and he's a strong contender dropping back into a Class 5.
3
3
3rd (3) (16/1 -33%) Dark Kestrel
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Dark Kestrel 16/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in May. 33/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Heading back in the right direction recently. Talented but his tendency to fluff the start makes him a risky proposition.
4
7
4th (7) (13/2 +59%) Ancient Times
6.5
13/2(+59%)
(7) Ancient Times 13/2, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, eighth of 9 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 82 days ago. Every chance if back to best. On a losing run but this is a drop in class and he handles Tapeta; each-way shout.
5th
6
5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Maris Angel
5
5/1(+9%)
(6) Maris Angel 5/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year, the latest at Redcar in September. 7/4, creditable second of 11 in handicap at the same course (5f, good) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Record of 112 in handicaps, all last month; not fully exposed & mark still looks in range.
6th
2
6th (2) (14/1 +44%) Ganesha
14
14/1(+44%)
(2) Ganesha 14/1, Last of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 22 days ago, hampered. Hood on 1st time. Chance on old form. Should be well treated but it's been a struggle this year; hooded for this drop to Class 5.
6th
11
6th (11) (22/1 -175%) Call Glory
22
22/1(-175%)
(11) Call Glory 22/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023 andfFirst run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Place possibilities. Has dropped in weights but needs a change of scenery to spark a full revival; no headgear.
8th
10
8th (10) (18/1 -29%) Match Play
18
18/1(-29%)
(10) Match Play 18/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. 10/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 33 days ago, doing too much too soon. Needs to get back on track. Had excuses since his Yarmouth win in August; has the ability to feature off this mark.
9th
4
9th (4) (10/1 -150%) Jungle Run
10
10/1(-150%)
(4) Jungle Run 10/1, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap (6/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, suited by way race developed. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Chasing a four-timer and latest C&D win was backed up by the clock; one to take seriously.
10th
12
10th (12) (15/2 +0%) Miss Brazen
7.5
15/2(+0%)
(12) Miss Brazen 15/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Shaped nicely when third of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Not taken lightly from this reduced mark. Not quite found her 3yo best this year but handicapped accordingly; AW debut.
11th
5
11th (5) (28/1 -250%) Rodborough
28
28/1(-250%)
(5) Rodborough 28/1, Three-time C&D winner. Sixth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. 3-time C&D winner; should be at concert pitch after two recent turf runs; better expected.
12th
9
12th (9) (17/2 -13%) See You Tonight
8.5
17/2(-13%)
(9) See You Tonight 17/2, Creditable third of 7 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f, 3/1) 40 days ago. Current mark looks a fair one and she's one to consider. Held back by her refusal to settle but has ability and the drop to 5f could help.
20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Paddy's Day was narrowly denied over 5f at Beverley last month and a 1lb rise for that shouldn't prevent another bold bid. That said, JUNGLE RUN is narrowly preferred. Tom Clover's charge completed a hat-trick in fine style over C&D recently and gets the nod to defy a 7lb rise. Maris Angel was thwarted in her bid for a three-timer at Redcar latest, but cannot be overlooked.
It can pay to side with PADDY'S DAY, who went close at Beverley last month and a 1 lb nudge for that is fair enough. Jungle Run completed the hat-trick in pretty good style over C&D a fortnight ago and he is feared most ahead of Sugar Hill Babe and Miss Brazen.
A competitive sprint but PADDY'S DAY has been threatening all season and this could be his day. Match Play is next best.

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.
