(5) Hippocratic Oath 10/3, Sent off 9/1 and produced a career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt again. Won at Wolverhampton this month on handicap debut; open to further progress; respected.

7
2nd (7) (13/2 -18%) Patrol
6.5
13/2(-18%)
(7) Patrol 13/2, Blinkered for first time, creditable fourth of 9 in nursery (6/1) at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 52 days ago, left poorly placed after a slow start. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas and headgear removed. Made the frame off this mark on final run for William Haggas; sold for 17,000gns since.

9
3rd (9) (15/2 +53%) Telecommunication
7.5
15/2(+53%)
(9) Telecommunication 15/2, Eighth of 11 in novice at Leicester (7f, soft, 150/1) 41 days ago. Makes nursery debut and handicaps more suitable. May do better now qualified for a mark and dropped in class; check the betting.
4
11
4th (11) (25/1 -150%) Pine Cliffs
25
25/1(-150%)
(11) Pine Cliffs 25/1, 5¼ lengths sixth of 9 to Hippocratic Oath in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 16 days ago. Behind a couple of these rivals at Wolverhampton last time but may fare better here.
5th
10
5th (10) (40/1 -60%) Skyelight
40
40/1(-60%)
(10) Skyelight 40/1, 250/1, sixth of 10 in novice at Kempton (8f) 54 days ago. Makes handicap debut and opening mark demands more. One of a few runners who may be invigorated by the switch to handicap level.
6th
3
6th (3) (40/1 -233%) Kilpatrick Prince
40
40/1(-233%)
(3) Kilpatrick Prince 40/1, Progressive form in his qualifying runs but took a big backward step when eighth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and drop back in trip should be in his favour. Failed to settle over 1m2f last time; may resume his improvement back at 1m.
7th
2
7th (2) (4/1 +75%) Risk
4
4/1(+75%)
(2) Risk 4/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, eighth of 10 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good) 56 days ago. Makes handicap/AW debut. Gelded since last run; may well improve now handicapping at a lesser level; interesting.
8th
6
8th (6) (33/1 -230%) Never The Twain
33
33/1(-230%)
(6) Never The Twain 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Good 4 lengths fifth of 9 to Hippocratic Oath in nursery at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 14/1) 16 days ago. 4l behind Hippocratic Oath at Wolverhampton but this bare 1m may suit her better.
9th
12
9th (12) (12/1 -20%) Winston's Folly
12
12/1(-20%)
(12) Winston's Folly 12/1, Bred to stay well and sent off 9/2 but he weakened out of it seventh of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (10f) 11 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with blinkers reached for. Combination of switch to 1m and first-time headgear may do the trick.
10th
4
10th (4) (7/2 +61%) Pay Attention
3.5
7/2(+61%)
(4) Pay Attention 7/2, Back on track when third on nursery debut at Salisbury but, 11/4 when not in the same form when fourth of 6 in nursery at Leicester (7f, heavy) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Form of sole AW effort (debut) has worked out very well; interesting back in this sphere.
11th
1
11th (1) (28/1 -600%) Sybaris Jewel
28
28/1(-600%)
(1) Sybaris Jewel 28/1, 22/1, good second of 5 in nursery at Musselburgh (8f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Looks competitive on form as she's unexposed over this sort of trip. Close second upped to 1m at Musselburgh last time; possibilities kept to this distance.
12th
8
12th (8) (9/1 +44%) Jack Andrea
9
9/1(+44%)
(8) Jack Andrea 9/1, Cheekpieces on for first time, last of 7 in nursery at Newmarket (8f, heavy, 16/1) 25 days ago, slowly away and eased right off. Makes tapeta debut. Good second off this mark at Salisbury on sole Class 6 attempt; could go well.
16:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A winner on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton last time out, HIPPOCRATIC OATH seemed to be value for more than the winning margin on that occasion and this appeals as another strong opportunity with Sean Levey taking over in the saddle. Narrowly denied when producing a career-best effort at Musselburgh last month, Sybaris Jewel looks to be the main danger, ahead of Jack Andrea and the unexposed Pay Attention.
HIPPOCRATIC OATH made a winning start to life in handicaps at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and while stall 12 may not be ideal, he's still the most appealing option. A well-run race over 1m will suit Sybaris Jewel so she's a threat, along with Kilpatrick Prince.
Pay particular attention to PAY ATTENTION (nap) back on AW. Sybaris Jewel is second choice, ahead of Hippocratic Oath.
(2) Lzaz 9/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Blinkered for first time, good second of 14 in handicap (25/1) at Kempton (8f) 7 days ago, clear of rest. Definite player if blinkers work as well again. Clear second off this mark at Kempton last week, showing improvement for blinkers.
2
6
2nd (6) (8/1 +0%) Meade Gold
8
8/1(+0%)
(6) Meade Gold 8/1, 4/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 20 days ago. Back down in trip and eased further 2 lb. Possibly capable of winning a race but has seemed to find this trip on sharp side.
3
7
3rd (7) (8/1 -7%) Northstead Gardens
8
8/1(-7%)
(7) Northstead Gardens 8/1, 18/1, good fourth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Can give another good account given she's a pretty consistent operator. Has made the frame in last three attempts at about 1m; solid contender.
4
10
4th (10) (33/1 -106%) Lightning Bay
33
33/1(-106%)
(10) Lightning Bay 33/1, Remains a maiden after 16 Flat runs. 10/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 28 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Two efforts last month don't suggest autumn glory is on the way.
5th
9
5th (9) (13/2 +46%) Penalty Shootout
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(9) Penalty Shootout 13/2, Respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 11/2) 10 days ago, hampered. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Was in the process of running okay when hampered late dropped back to 1m last time.
6th
1
6th (1) (15/2 -114%) Inspiring Speeches
7.5
15/2(-114%)
(1) Inspiring Speeches 15/2, Well backed and produced another solid effort when second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 21 days ago. Has to be taken seriously nudged up 1 lb. Turn looks near, having finished a close second the last twice; clear possibilities.
7th
4
7th (4) (15/8 -15%) Just Ten High
1.875
15/8(-15%)
(4) Just Ten High 15/8, Promising individual. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (6/4) at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago, driven out. 5 lb rise may not prevent the hat-trick. Successful in two 7f AW events since handicapping; big player provided he stays 1m.
8th
3
8th (3) (66/1 -100%) Bits And Bobs
66
66/1(-100%)
(3) Bits And Bobs 66/1, Twenty-two runs without success following debut win in 2023. 20/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. 0-8 for current stable and has posted two duck eggs since returned to AW.
9th
8
9th (8) (100/1 -300%) Quickfire
100
100/1(-300%)
(8) Quickfire 100/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 14/1) 28 days ago. Well beaten back on AW last time; still has something to prove in this sphere.
10th
5
10th (5) (80/1 -567%) My Clementine
80
80/1(-567%)
(5) My Clementine 80/1, Winner at Chepstow in July. Good fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 12 days ago, hampered and finishing well. Looks worth another shot at 1m. Frame possibilities, provided her 7f form is transferred back to this longer trip.
11th
11
11th (11) (200/1 -100%) Dors Delight
200
200/1(-100%)
(11) Dors Delight 200/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 80/1) 24 days ago. Uphill task. Bred to do better but has easily the worst chance on form.
16:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
JUST TEN HIGH continues to go from strength to strength, and a 5lb rise for his most recent success here over 7f may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick on the rise in distance. Runner-up on his last two starts over further, Inspiring Speeches is likely to be thereabouts again, while Meade Gold and the relatively unexposed Lzaz are others to consider.
Having been allotted a basement mark, JUST TEN HIGH has really found his feet in AW handicaps of late and is fancied to shrug off a 5 lb rise and complete the hat-trick. Inspiring Speeches has been knocking pretty loudly on the door so seems sure to be involved, along with Northstead Gardens.
Kempton runner-up LZAZ is preferred. Inspiring Speeches and Just Ten High warrant respect.
(6) Lough Leane 6/1, Started the year with 5 AW wins, including over this C&D. Rare below-par effort at Newcastle in August but given a break and type to bounce back. Rattled off a 5-timer on AW in Feb/March; some solid runs since but below par latest.
2
1
2nd (1) (7/2 +36%) Lerwick
3.5
7/2(+36%)
(1) Lerwick 7/2, Better than ever when successful at Beverley in August. Raised 4 lb and respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to firm, 5/1) 32 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Can make presence felt. 2-11 on turf; not at his absolute best last time but still considered now switched to AW.
3
10
3rd (10) (11/2 +0%) Invincible Aura
5.5
11/2(+0%)
(10) Invincible Aura 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in August. Good second of 8 in handicap (6/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Shortlist material with AW record a good one. C&D winner; better on AW than turf; latest second can be upgraded; lots to like.
4
2
4th (2) (12/1 -9%) Lyndon B
12
12/1(-9%)
(2) Lyndon B 12/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 9/1) 30 days ago, hampered. Down to a good mark but does seemingly need everything to drop right. Over two years since his last win; some good runs in defeat this year; AW debut; e-w shout.
5th
3
5th (3) (22/1 -144%) Enola Grey
22
22/1(-144%)
(3) Enola Grey 22/1, C&D winner. 15/2, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft) 27 days ago, running on and a shade unlucky not to finish closer. One to take seriously. Conditions to suit and she's one to consider off her reduced mark.
6th
7
6th (7) (9/2 +59%) Bravo Zulu
4.5
9/2(+59%)
(7) Bravo Zulu 9/2, Course winner. 10/3, tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 6 days ago. Clearly backed as though thought capable of much better and he's back down in trip. Looked a good prospect in early runs but handicaps haven't been fruitful; drops back to 1m.
7th
4
7th (4) (11/1 -100%) Bluelight Bay
11
11/1(-100%)
(4) Bluelight Bay 11/1, Third of 14 in handicap (15/2) at Kempton (8f) 19 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces back on and he's well weighted at present. Two best runs this year have come on his two AW starts; cheekpieces return; shortlisted.
8th
12
8th (12) (28/1 -75%) Lincoln Legacy
28
28/1(-75%)
(12) Lincoln Legacy 28/1, 16/1, last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago. Has work to do. Low-key return from a year out this month; Oisin Murphy booked but carries risk.
9th
11
9th (11) (33/1 -230%) Shaw Park
33
33/1(-230%)
(11) Shaw Park 33/1, Three wins from 17 runs this year. Latest win at Brighton in August. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, left poorly placed. Takes his racing well bit this is a slightly deeper race. Three 7f wins at Brighton this year; stays 1m and handles Tapeta; vulnerable up in class.
10th
9
10th (9) (20/1 -264%) Magical Merlin
20
20/1(-264%)
(9) Magical Merlin 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 5/2) 27 days ago. Blinkers replace usual cheekpieces. He has run some sound races at up to a mile this summer but others perhaps better treated.
11th
8
11th (8) (5/1 +17%) Cloudy Skye
5
5/1(+17%)
(8) Cloudy Skye 5/1, Winner at Pontefract in July. 16/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 16 days ago, better placed than most. Assessor looks to have her about right. Progressive at around a mile; yet to run a poor race on AW; still not fully exposed.
12th
5
12th (5) (50/1 -25%) Cori Glory
50
50/1(-25%)
(5) Cori Glory 50/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. Fifteenth of 18 in handicap at York (7f, soft, 50/1) 10 days ago. Has a bit to prove currently. Well beaten on her last three starts; fair mark if reviving but others look much safer.
17:08 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The Edward Bethell stable can do little wrong at present and his LERWICK could be primed to strike on his all-weather debut, having scored comfortably at Beverley before being a bit unlucky when short of room at Pontefract last time out. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of promising Kempton third Bluelight Bay and Lyndon B, who has given the impression recently that he will be suited by going back up to 1m.
INVINCIBLE AURA enhanced his excellent AW record when runner-up from an unpromising position at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, this mark is well within range. This is compeittive, though, with Lerwick, Enola Grey and Lough Leane all of some interest.
3yos Cloudy Skye and INVINCIBLE AURA look the pair to focus on. The selection's latest second can be upgraded.
(9) Glam Squad 9/2, Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, soft, 5/1) 22 days ago. Assessor looks to hold the upper hand at present. Two wins this summer and ran his best race when 3rd over C&D in August; strong claims.
2
4
2nd (4) (50/1 -614%) Shimmering Sands
50
50/1(-614%)
(4) Shimmering Sands 50/1, 11/2, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to firm) 34 days ago, running on. Well held previous AW start but he's in good hands. All wins over further and has to prove himself on AW; comes here in good form though.
3
12
3rd (12) (8/1 +0%) Quiet Resolve
8
8/1(+0%)
(12) Quiet Resolve 8/1, Respectable third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (4/1) 22 days ago. AW record is a positive one. Yet to win a handicap but latest 3rd was solid and he's one of the likelier ones.
4
10
4th (10) (10/3 +26%) Zipster
3.333333
10/3(+26%)
(10) Zipster 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Good second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 21 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Huge claims on that run. Progressive 3yo with a C&D win to his name; career best when 2nd latest; key player.
5th
1
5th (1) (15/2 -88%) Urban Sprawl
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(1) Urban Sprawl 15/2, Belatedly cashed in on falling mark when winning 9-runner handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy) 14 days ago. Retains handicap scope and Oisin Murphy booked. Comes here in good order, still feasibly treated and Oisin Murphy booked; solid claims.
6th
3
6th (3) (22/1 -57%) Bowood
22
22/1(-57%)
(3) Bowood 22/1, Completed hat-trick at Nottingham in August. Tenth of 13 in handicap (11/1) at Doncaster (10.2f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Back down in trip and no reason why he can't get back on track. Won first three for this yard (1m, Class 6); struggled up in trip/class latest; opposable.
7th
8
7th (8) (6/1 +63%) Savvy Exchange
6
6/1(+63%)
(8) Savvy Exchange 6/1, Winner at Pontefract in May. 25/1, last of 9 in handicap at Ascot (10f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Step back in trip probably in his favour. Redcar second in July hasn't worked out; tailed off latest; low mileage but needs more.
8th
5
8th (5) (4/1 +11%) City Of York
4
4/1(+11%)
(5) City Of York 4/1, Below form third of 7 in handicap at Newbury (7f, soft, 11/4) 30 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Better expected returned to 1m. Conditions fine and latest 3rd not so bad as the distance beaten suggests; each-way shout.
9th
6
9th (6) (16/1 +0%) Stockpyle
16
16/1(+0%)
(6) Stockpyle 16/1, Latest win at Chepstow in June. Sixth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Newmarket (8f, heavy) 25 days ago. Return to AW may see him revive. Two wins in Class 5 handicaps (1m) in June; struggled in better company since.
10th
2
10th (2) (25/1 -56%) King Of Scotia
25
25/1(-56%)
(2) King Of Scotia 25/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in August. 8/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 42 days ago. Edging down towards last successful mark. Three wins this year but he needs to bounce back from a quiet AW run six weeks ago.
11th
11
11th (11) (25/1 -79%) Bernalda
25
25/1(-79%)
(11) Bernalda 25/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 24 days ago. Has work to do but she's not yet the finished article. Not seen to best effect last time and this unexposed filly remains capable of better.
17:43 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
ZIPSTER can make amends for a narrow defeat when second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton three weeks ago by taking this competitive contest, despite a 2lb rise. The recent Pontefract winner Urban Sprawl could prove to be the main threat, although Shimmering Sands and City Of York also have the ability to give the selection plenty to think about.
ZIPSTER emerged with plenty of credit when second in a strong race for the grade at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and this previous C&D scorer makes plenty of appeal. Fellow 3-y-o Classic Encounter is feared most, with City of York completing the shortlist returned to a more suitable trip.
Glam Squad can go well back on AW but ZIPSTER is making good progress this year and can record his third success.
(1) End Of Romance 6/4, Twice-raced winner. Successful at Pontefract in August. 11/4, third of 5 in novice at Chester (7f, good to firm) 51 days ago. Likely to be in the mix but perhaps vulnerable for win purposes under a penalty. 6f win on debut and then a good 3rd under a penalty at Chester; sets a good standard.
2
7
2nd (7) (22/1 -175%) Heart Of Honor
22
22/1(-175%)
(7) Heart Of Honor 22/1, Foaled April 29. 35,000 gns foal, €42,000 yearling, €160,000 2-y-o, Honor A P colt. Dam Chilean Group 1 1m winner. Interesting to see how he fares in the betting. 160,000euros breeze-up 2yo; dam a Group 1 winner in Chile; one of two newcomers for yard.
3
11
3rd (11) (16/1 -100%) Tremolo
16
16/1(-100%)
(11) Tremolo 16/1, Once-raced maiden. 9/1, fourth of 5 in novice at Salisbury (7f, good to soft) on debut 18 days ago, slowly away. Open to improvement. Stuck in the mud on debut but likely to leave that well behind in the long term.
4
3
4th (3) (40/1 -300%) Criminal Shore
40
40/1(-300%)
(3) Criminal Shore 40/1, Foaled March 20. €80,000 yearling, Kodiac colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m Steip Amach and useful 1m-11f winner Ceisteach. Dam maiden (stayed 9.5f). One to note in the betting. 80,000euros half-brother to four winners, three useful; has good standard to aim at.
5th
6
5th (6) (22/1 +33%) Hallelujah U
22
22/1(+33%)
(6) Hallelujah U 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Sixth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, soft, 18/1) on debut 25 days ago. Perhaps more of a long-term prospect. Given the benefit of the doubt for a heavy defeat on debut at Newmarket; should do better.
6th
8
6th (8) (11/8 +0%) Kaizen
1.375
11/8(+0%)
(8) Kaizen 11/8, Foaled March 9. 425,000 gns yearling, Kingman colt. Half-brother to smart 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Ylang Ylang. Dam, 2-y-o 7f/1m winner, half-sister to smart 1m-11f winner Laughing. Obvious appeal on paper and confidence behind him in the betting would look significant. 425,000gns half-brother to Group 1 winner Ylang Ylang; a newcomer of some interest.
7th
10
7th (10) (66/1 -100%) Riyadh Gem
66
66/1(-100%)
(10) Riyadh Gem 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Eighth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/1) on debut 14 days ago, slowly away. Hard to recommend on the back of that low-key opener. 10-1, green and well held on his Wolverhampton debut two weeks ago; needs much more.
8th
12
8th (12) (8/1 +0%) Via Con Me
8
8/1(+0%)
(12) Via Con Me 8/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, third of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 14 days ago. Needs to raise his game but he's in good hands and is certainly not without at least an each-way chance. Second run (tongue-tie added) was better than his debut; should be involved once more.
9th
4
9th (4) (33/1 -230%) Golden Garden
33
33/1(-230%)
(4) Golden Garden 33/1, Foaled February 23. $200,000 yearling, 175,000 gns 2-y-o, Medaglia D'oro colt. Dam smart US 1m-9f winner. Wears tongue strap. Yard also saddles Heart of Honor and the market should be revealing in terms of the pecking order. 175,000gns breeze-up 2yo; dam a Listed dirt winner in US; one of two newcomers for yard.
10th
5
10th (5) (80/1 -142%) Grey Operations
80
80/1(-142%)
(5) Grey Operations 80/1, Once-raced maiden. 14/1, eleventh of 14 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 12 days ago. Yard also saddles Riyadh Gem. Dropped away in the straight on recent Kempton debut (7f); can do better but needs to.
11th
9
11th (9) (100/1 -150%) Requiem
100
100/1(-150%)
(9) Requiem 100/1, Once-raced maiden. 100/1, eighth of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 12 days ago. Another who is likely to be seen in a better light in handicaps later on. Recent Kempton debut not without promise but he's likely one for further next year.
18:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Despite being beaten, END OF ROMANCE confirmed his debut promise when finishing third under a penalty over 7f at Chester in August and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. Kaizen is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Ylang Ylang and the 425,000gns purchase has to be of interest on his racecourse bow. Others to note are Via Con Me and Tremolo.
There's much to like about KAIZEN on paper and it will be an ominous sign for his rivals if the market vibes are upbeat. The Kingman colt is taken to make a winning start to his career, perhaps at the chief expense of Tremolo, who should come on for his introduction at Salisbury. End of Romance is third choice ahead of Via Con Me, while, Kaizen aside, Criminal Shore could be the pick of the newcomers.
Kaizen is bred to be smart and could give the promising END OF ROMANCE most to think about.
(12) Rogue Dancer 6/1, Fourth of 7 in novice at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 25/1) 28 days ago. Makes handicap debut and bred to do a lot better. Unplaced in her three runs but has displayed clear promise; more realistic challenge today.
2
1
2nd (1) (11/2 +45%) Harswell Ruby
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(1) Harswell Ruby 11/2, Fifth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (7.1f, 25/1) 27 days ago. Appeals as the type to do better now tackling a nursery. Could be well treated on her debut effort; bred to do better and she's interesting.

3rd (5) (4/1 +0%) Lucius Aurelius
4
4/1(+0%)
(5) Lucius Aurelius 4/1, Fourth of 6 in nursery at Hamilton (5f, good, 9/2) 28 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes tapeta debut and mark looks stiff. No progress for switch to nurseries at Hamilton last month; still early days; AW debut.
4
10
4th (10) (7/2 +30%) Dandy G Boy
3.5
7/2(+30%)
(10) Dandy G Boy 7/2, Sent off 5/2 fitted with cheekpieces on for first time but could manage only sixth of 9 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 28 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Blinkers on first time. Merits serious consideration. Didn't live up to market billing on h'cap debut but still ran with credit; drop to 6f a +.
5th
9
5th (9) (11/2 -57%) Earthy
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(9) Earthy 11/2, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Chelmsford City (6f, 13/2) 23 days ago, despite showing a few quirks. Makes tapeta debut and unexposed as a sprinter. Hung right but kept on well to win 6f nursery at Chelmsford latest; 4lb rise demands more.
6th
8
6th (8) (16/1 -100%) Woodhay Whisper
16
16/1(-100%)
(8) Woodhay Whisper 16/1, Fifth of 8 in nursery (22/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 14 days ago, met some trouble. Eased further 3 lb and looks ready for 6f. Not built on her debut promise, including in three nurseries; upped to 6f for first time.
7th
11
7th (11) (9/1 +10%) Final Angel
9
9/1(+10%)
(11) Final Angel 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, good fifth of 11 in nursery at Redcar (6f, good) 26 days ago, not much room. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive. Shaped well at Redcar latest, closing when squeezed up late on; AW debut.
8th
3
8th (3) (14/1 +0%) Mirage Mistress
14
14/1(+0%)
(3) Mirage Mistress 14/1, Eighth of 11 in novice (40/1) at this course (5f) 56 days ago. Back up in trip with a tongue tie on for nursery bow and she's not out of this on her debut form. No progress in novice runs but bred to do better and a tongue tie is added for h'cap debut.
9th
6
9th (6) (28/1 +15%) Havana Dance
28
28/1(+15%)
(6) Havana Dance 28/1, 40/1, eighth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 18 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with visor on for the first time. Promise on first two starts; progress has stalled in nurseries; now tried in a visor.
10th
7
10th (7) (25/1 -108%) Sea Of Diamonds
25
25/1(-108%)
(7) Sea Of Diamonds 25/1, Winner at Redcar on debut in May. Cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 14 in nursery (8/1) at this course (5f) 25 days ago. Back up in trip and stall 12 may not be ideal. Not built on the promise of her debut win in May in four runs since; others look safer.
11th
2
11th (2) (33/1 +0%) Washington Dancer
33
33/1(+0%)
(2) Washington Dancer 33/1, Last of 9 in nursery at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 22/1) 71 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with something to prove on the back of that tame effort. Promising 3rd on debut (sole AW run); struggled since & hopes rest on the return to AW.
18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
EARTHY got off the mark in a similar contest at Chelmsford a few weeks ago and Amy Murphy's progressive filly could be hard to stop following a 4lb rise. Woodhay Whisper was not disgraced over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and could go well now up in trip off 3lb lower. The shortlist is completed by Addarella, Final Angel and Lucius Aurelius.
Market support behind DANDY G BOY proved misplaced at Wolverhampton a month ago but he did race too close to an overly-strong pace and in a change of headgear, he's afforded another chance. Woodhay Whisper can improve for 6f so she's a danger, along with Earthy.
Dandy G Boy has a big run in him back at 6f but HARSWELL RUBY has shown enough to think this opening mark could prove generous.
(8) Evoluir 6/1, Confirmed return to form after just 4 days off when second of 11 in handicap (7/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 5 weeks ago, albeit seen to good effect racing close to the stand rail. Merits consideration. 0-10 but he's finished second three times, including on latest start; each-way shout.
2
1
2nd (1) (13/2 +19%) Calafrio
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(1) Calafrio 13/2, Winner at Thirsk in August. 9/1, wasn't seen to best effect fifth of 11 in handicap at same track (6f, good) 5 weeks ago, not clear run 2f out. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Shortlist material. Impressed in modest event at Thirsk in August; less good since; new headgear; AW a query.
3
9
3rd (9) (4/1 +11%) Irish Dancer
4
4/1(+11%)
(9) Irish Dancer 4/1, 12/1, ran one of his better races when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Just as likely to run poorly here, though. Two runs here have both been promising; repeat of latest C&D third will see him involved.
4
3
4th (3) (28/1 -250%) Savalas
28
28/1(-250%)
(3) Savalas 28/1, Latest win at Bath in September. Ran just respectably back on all-weather when fifth of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 16 days ago. Came from well back to win at Bath last month; less good at Wolverhampton latest.
5th
10
5th (10) (6/1 +40%) Fylingdale
6
6/1(+40%)
(10) Fylingdale 6/1, C&D winner. 12/1, run best excused when eighth of 9 in handicap at Nottingham (6.1f, heavy) 12 days ago, racing with one other on the stand side. This her first all-weather start of the year and she's not discounted. C&D winner; quiet the last twice but this season's best efforts give her sound claims.
6th
6
6th (6) (6/1 +40%) Captain Dandy
6
6/1(+40%)
(6) Captain Dandy 6/1, 16/1, hinted at a revival over a trip which probably stretches him when fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (7.1f) 11 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Visor on 1st time. On a dangerous mark if new headgear/return to optimum trip has the desired effect.
7th
7
7th (7) (12/1 -118%) Alibi Warning
12
12/1(-118%)
(7) Alibi Warning 12/1, 10/1, again ran respectably without proving much of a win threat when fifth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Others preferred for win purposes. Exposed maiden and not at very best here last time; dangerous if producing a peak effort.
8th
2
8th (2) (28/1 -12%) May Remain
28
28/1(-12%)
(2) May Remain 28/1, C&D winner. 33/1, shaped as if needing the run after 6 months off when tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Front-runner; conditions fine and on a dangerous mark; needs to step up on recent return.
9th
5
9th (5) (4/1 +27%) Back Tomorrow
4
4/1(+27%)
(5) Back Tomorrow 4/1, C&D winner. 16/1, showed a bit more than of late when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 13 days ago. Every chance she can build on that. Faces optimum conditions and ran well for fourth over C&D last time; one to take seriously.
10th
4
10th (4) (12/1 +25%) Piper's Fort
12
12/1(+25%)
(4) Piper's Fort 12/1, 7/1, again ran below form when seventh of 10 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft) 19 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not easy to make a case for. Turf win for A Watson in June; yet to fire for current stable; tongue-tie now added.
11th
12
11th (12) (28/1 -75%) Alextrician
28
28/1(-75%)
(12) Alextrician 28/1, 18/1 and visored for 1st time, fared little better down in trip when sixth of 13 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 80 days ago. Must improve (has had a breathing operation since last seen). 11-race maiden but has shown some promise; wind op since last seen; unexposed at 6f.
19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
EVOLUIR had Calafrio (fifth) and Irish Dancer (10th) behind when touched off by a length into second at Thirsk last month and he competes off the same mark here. Provided the three-year-old can produce a repeat of that display, he could prove hard to beat. Savalas was successful at this level on his penultimate start and it would be no surprise to see him get into contention, while Back Tomorrow is another to watch out for.
An open-looking sprint in which the suggestion is EVOLUIR, who ran up to his best when runner-up at Thirsk 5 weeks ago and back on all-weather, Roger Fell's 3-y-o can open his account at the expense of Back Tomorrow, who showed a bit more than of late when fourth over C&D recently and can build on that. Calafrio and Alibi Warning can fight out third.
Competitive fare and most can have a case argued. Dual C&D winner BACK TOMORROW is marginally preferred to Fylingdale
(7) Eavestone 11/8, 4/1, failed to repeat previous effort when third of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (9.9f, good to soft) 57 days ago. Up in trip. Can get back on track returned to all-weather. Placed in all three runs; close second at this course on penultimate; leading contender.
2
2
2nd (2) (85/40 +39%) Eagle Angel
2.125
85/40(+39%)
(2) Eagle Angel 85/40, Improved from debut and had plenty in hand when won 8-runner novice (5/4) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 months ago. Up in trip. Bit concerning he's not been seen since he's in top hands and should improve. Absent since winning at Wolverhampton a year ago on second start; open to further progress.
3
4
3rd (4) (85/40 -6%) King Chaos
2.125
85/40(-6%)
(4) King Chaos 85/40, 12/1, showed some ability amid inexperience when third of 9 in maiden at Windsor (10f, good to firm) on debut 9 weeks ago. Up in trip. Big chance with progress on the cards. Ran promisingly over 1m2f at Windsor while shaping as if this longer distance will suit.
4
8
4th (8) (66/1 -313%) Maenad
66
66/1(-313%)
(8) Maenad 66/1, Once-raced maiden. Seventh of 8 in novice at Kempton (12f, 12/1) on debut 47 days ago. In top hands but much more needed. Galileo filly; only seventh of eight in Kempton contest but may do better.
5th
5
5th (5) (200/1 -203%) Trapper John
200
200/1(-203%)
(5) Trapper John 200/1, Failed to progress from debut 7 months on when sixth of 7 in novice (80/1) at Epsom (10.1f, soft) 22 days ago. Will make little appeal this side of staying handicaps. Comfortably held in two starts at shorter.
6th
6
6th (6) (40/1 -400%) Ventorro
40
40/1(-400%)
(6) Ventorro 40/1, Off 3 months from debut and showed more having been gelded when fourth of 10 in maiden (7/1) at this course (11.1f) 25 days ago. Very much a work in progress and is likely to progress further. Did a couple of things wrong here last month but managed to improve on debut effort.
7th
3
7th (3) (150/1 -355%) Melsmay
150
150/1(-355%)
(3) Melsmay 150/1, Outstrip mare. Dam unraced. Likely outsider on debut. Doubtful stayer on breeding and best watched on belated debut.
19:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Eagle Angel improved on his debut effort to justify favouritism at Wolverhampton when last seen just under a year ago and he should mount a bold bid on his return to the fray. However, he might find it tough to successfully concede 10lb to EAVESTONE. Roger Varian's filly shaped as though this step up in trip would suit when staying on for third over 1m2f at Goodwood last time and she looks the one to beat. Ventorro isn't out of this either.
A few in with a squeak but KING CHAOS showed ability amidst inexperience when third at Windsor in August and sure to have derived plenty from that, Karl Burke's 3-y-o can go a couple of places better. The main danger may emerge from Eagle Angel. who had plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton 12 months ago and is open to further progress. Eavestone can edge out Ventorro for the bronze medal.
Slight preference is for KING CHAOS, who seems sure to build on his Windsor effort. Eavestone and Eagle Angel are respected.
(6) Old Saxony 2/1, 9/4, fourth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 26 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Up in trip. In danger of becoming disappointing. Combination of new trip and drop to Class 6 may do the trick.
2
2
2nd (2) (7/1 -40%) Gold Aura
7
7/1(-40%)
(2) Gold Aura 7/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. Respectable second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 20/1) 24 days ago, not ideally placed. Has had numerous chances to break her duck from similar marks so others more appealing. Consistent maiden; ran creditably upped to 1m6f last time; in the mix.
3
3
3rd (3) (3/1 +40%) Dark Mystery
3
3/1(+40%)
(3) Dark Mystery 3/1, Twelve runs since sole win in 2022. Did all he could against an improved one when second of 6 in handicap (15/2) at this C&D 16 days ago, no match for winner. Beat all bar odds-on shot in C&D event most recently; likely player.
4
7
4th (7) (18/1 -125%) Sydney Seabreeze
18
18/1(-125%)
(7) Sydney Seabreeze 18/1, 10/3 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, proved a let-down when last of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago. Bounce back needed. Latest effort suggests this drop back to 1m6f is a good move.
5th
1
5th (1) (4/1 +38%) A Gift Of Love
4
4/1(+38%)
(1) A Gift Of Love 4/1, Ran another solid race when fourth of 10 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm, 7/1) 47 days ago. Has to be taken seriously back on all-weather. Eight-race maiden; two encouraging efforts for new yard; possibilities.
6th
5
6th (5) (12/1 -300%) Yippee
12
12/1(-300%)
(5) Yippee 12/1, Blinkered for 1st time, saw his race out well when third of 9 in handicap (40/1) at this course (12.1f) 13 days ago, nearest finish. Big player with Murphy booked provided the cheekpieces work as well second time. Ran encouragingly in first-time blinkers here on latest outing.
7th
4
7th (4) (16/1 -256%) Philos
16
16/1(-256%)
(4) Philos 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in June. Ran well trying 2m for the first time when third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 9/1), clear of rest. Off 4 months and rates a player if ready to roll. Four AW wins; in good form in June when last seen.
8th
9
8th (9) (33/1 -106%) Can Can Girl
33
33/1(-106%)
(9) Can Can Girl 33/1, Temperamental sort. Latest win at Doncaster in July. 12/1, well-held sixth of 11 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, soft) 19 days ago, merely closing up late. Poor form on AW early this year; no win in this sphere since 2021.
9th
8
9th (8) (80/1 -220%) Typewritten
80
80/1(-220%)
(8) Typewritten 80/1, Temperamental type. Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 18/1, ran no sort of race when fifth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f) 8 months ago. Lacks recent match practice and goes without usual headgear.
10th
10
10th (10) (66/1 0%) Kitten's Dream
66
66/1(0%)
(10) Kitten's Dream 66/1, Unreliable sort. C&D winner. Thirty-three runs since last win in 2023. 100/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 7 days ago, outpaced from home turn. On a very long losing run and recent form isn't convincing.
20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
GOLD AURA was beaten two lengths into second when having her first attempt over this trip at Wolverhampton last month and the handicapper might have been kind to leave her mark alone for that performance. Jack Jones' four-year-old looks well placed to get her head in front for the first time this evening. Dark Mystery found one too over track and trip earlier in the month and he should remain competitive off an unchanged rating, while Old Saxony could also have a say.
A tricky finale to solve but A GIFT OF LOVE ran another solid race at Bath last month, so Ollie Sangster's filly gets the tentative nod to open her account. Yippee saw his race out well in first-time blinkers at this track recently, so he's put forward as the main danger with Murphy taking over in the plate, while Philos and Dark Mystery are another couple worth considering, too.
Dropped in class, Frankel filly A GIFT OF LOVE may be able to get off the mark. Dark Mystery is second choice.

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.
