16:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (16/5 -28%) Regal Fanfare	3.2 16/5(-28%)	(4) Regal Fanfare 16/5, 7/2, very good second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 62 days ago, conceding first run. Bold showing is on the cards off the same mark. 0-6 but runner-up in two of her three starts on the AW; one for the shortlist.
2	7 2nd (7) (6/1 +40%) Grenham Bay	6 6/1(+40%)	(7) Grenham Bay 6/1, 16/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago, left with too much to do. In the mix. 5lb below last winning mark and has looked worth another go at 7f; one to be interested in.
3	8 3rd (8) (10/1 +0%) Mark's Choice	10 10/1(+0%)	(8) Mark's Choice 10/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 17/2, good second of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 22 days ago. Considered for his new yard. Ran well on only his second go over 7f when runner-up at Newcastle last time; respected.
4	11 4th (11) (18/1 -100%) Selby's Pride	18 18/1(-100%)	(11) Selby's Pride 18/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 8/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago. Can give a good account. Beaten a long way in one previous attempt over this far which is a concern.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/2 +31%) Al Baahy	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(2) Al Baahy 9/2, 15/2, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 18 days ago. One win from 22 Flat runs though. Running well lately as when second at Wolverhampton last time; 1lb below sole winning mark.
6th	12 6th (12) (16/5 +57%) Starsong	3.2 16/5(+57%)	(12) Starsong 16/5, Course winner. Creditable third of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago. Merits consideration. Course winner; 1lb well in after a close third last time, but stamina remains unproven.
7th	6 7th (6) (8/1 +0%) Hour By Hour	8 8/1(+0%)	(6) Hour By Hour 8/1, 5/1, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy) 43 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Not ruled out. Hasn't built on a promising reappearance and this trip seems to stretch him; AW debut.
8th	9 8th (9) (20/1 -43%) Just Janet	20 20/1(-43%)	(9) Just Janet 20/1, Course winner. Visored for 1st time, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago, never nearer. Needs considering. Course winner; blew the start before staying on last time; could make an impact.
9th	10 9th (10) (25/1 +24%) Sycamore	25 25/1(+24%)	(10) Sycamore 25/1, Course winner. Last of 16 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, good to soft, 80/1) 46 days ago so needs to bounce back. Course winner, but ran very poorly on his return from another lengthy absence last month.
10th	1 10th (1) (7/1 +0%) Rich Rhythm	7 7/1(+0%)	(1) Rich Rhythm 7/1, First run since leaving Ralph Beckett when good second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 3/1) 17 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not taken lightly. Second on stable debut at Chelmsford last time and shortlisted; cheekpieces on.
11th	3 11th (3) (125/1 -525%) Bobby Shaft	125 125/1(-525%)	(3) Bobby Shaft 125/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 28/1) 27 days ago. Others appeal more. Has shown nothing in two well-spaced-out runs since back from a mammoth absence in May.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A tightly-knit handicap introduces the welcome return of racing at Southwell. It remains to be seen how the course will ride after the recent upheaval caused by flood damage, but AL BAAHY has proven best when on the front-end and could be hard to reel in if allowed to dictate from a handy rails draw. A strong pace would be beneficial for Regal Fanfare and Just Janet, who head the list dangers, although Rich Rhythm also enters calculations.

A case can be made for a few of these but Sir Michael Stoute's low-mileage filly REGAL FANFARE can race off the same mark as when a very good Wolverhampton second last time so edges the vote. Mark's Choice has started life well with Gemma Tutty and rates a big threat ahead of Rich Rhythm and Just Janet.

The vote goes to GRENHAM BAY who has dropped 5lb below his last winning mark. He has been shaping as though the return to 7f will suit.

16:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (2/1 +56%) Kathmandu	2 2/1(+56%)	(5) Kathmandu 2/1, Promising type. 28/1, fifth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 23 days ago, faring best of those from off the pace. That experience won't have been wasted on her and she's fancied to feature. Promising fifth on Kempton debut and suggested she can do much better; interesting.
2	4 2nd (4) (10/3 +17%) Hot Fashion	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(4) Hot Fashion 10/3, Produced a promising debut effort when second of 10 in a Newbury maiden (7f) in July and may have found the race coming too soon when fifth of 10 in a Lingfield novice (7.6f) 16 days later. Better showing anticipated for stable who have enjoyed a fine year. Second on debut but held on faster ground next time; smart dam won on the AW; respected.
3	1 3rd (1) (15/8 -25%) Arts Of War	1.875 15/8(-25%)	(1) Arts Of War 15/8, £210,000 2-y-o, Dubawi filly. Hooded, shaped promisingly when fourth of 10 in novice event at Newmarket (7f, heavy, 7/1) on debut 20 days ago, travelling well and keeping on. Of interest with improvement expected. Fourth on Newmarket debut and any improvement on that would put her right there.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -100%) Kendalina	28 28/1(-100%)	(6) Kendalina 28/1, Foaled March 27. £65,000 2-y-o, Exceed And Excel filly. Dam, 1m-1¼m winner who stayed 1½m, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Fannaan. Worth a precautionary market check on debut for clues. Stable can get them ready first time and worth a market check.
5th	11 5th (11) (22/1 -57%) Tambourine Dream	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Tambourine Dream 22/1, Foaled May 6. 125,000 gns yearling, Cracksman filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 7f-8.6f winner Serenading and 2-y-o 6f winner Revenite. Dam, 2-y-o 5f winner, half-sister to smart 5f-1m winner Grecian Dancer. One to monitor in the betting on debut for clues. Looks the part on breeding, but stable doesn't have many 2yos go in first time.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +65%) Bella Umbria	7 7/1(+65%)	(2) Bella Umbria 7/1, Bred more for stamina than speed but she hinted at ability when tenth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 39 days ago, brief headway over 1f out and never nearer. Open to improvement, particularly when tackling 1m+. Well held on Kempton debut but is half-sister to two AW winners; shouldn't be written off.
7th	10 7th (10) (22/1 -193%) Romantic Tale	22 22/1(-193%)	(10) Romantic Tale 22/1, Foaled April 20. €30,000 foal, Fastnet Rock filly. Closely related to French/Italian winner up to 1m Feelie Win and half-sister to another winner abroad by Gustav Klimt. One to note on debut. Stable can get them ready at the first time of asking; market support would be significant.
8th	3 8th (3) (66/1 -164%) Explosively	66 66/1(-164%)	(3) Explosively 66/1, Foaled January 30. Expert Eye filly. Half-sister to 5f/6f winner Villain's Voice. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Oh This Is Us. Stable not a noted source of winning newcomers.
9th	7 9th (7) (66/1 -100%) Kimchi	66 66/1(-100%)	(7) Kimchi 66/1, Foaled March 9. Postponed filly. Dam, maiden (stayed 1m), closely related to smart winner up to 9f (stayed 14.5f) Stipulate. Probably one for later on. Stable has the occasional winning newcomer so worth a glance in the market.
10th	12 10th (12) (25/1 +0%) Through The Echoes	25 25/1(+0%)	(12) Through The Echoes 25/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago, always behind. Needs to leave that in her wake if she's to play a part here. 20l behind Arts Of War on Newmarket debut; related to a few AW winners.
11th	9 11th (9) (300/1 -100%) Renewable Queen	300 300/1(-100%)	(9) Renewable Queen 300/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 25/1) 21 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Tongue strap on 1st time. Has an official mark of just 42 so can't be recommended; tongue-tie on.
12th	8 12th (8) (250/1 -67%) Parrsicoe	250 250/1(-67%)	(8) Parrsicoe 250/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 6 in minor event at York (6f, soft, 150/1) 62 days ago. Beaten a very long way in three starts over 6f/7f on turf; no appeal.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Arts Of War showed promise at Newmarket 20 days ago and rates a leading contender, while Kathmandu can figure if sharper from the stalls than she was at Kempton on her racecourse bow. Nevertheless, John Quinn sends out a notable newcomer in the shape of KENDALINA, who is certainly bred to have plenty of ability and will likely know her job first time out.

ARTS OF WAR shaped with a good deal of promise when fourth on testing ground at Newmarket 3 weeks ago, impressing with how she travelled, and she's fancied to build on that here and make a bold bid. Kathmandu similarly shaped well on her respective debut and she's another likely improver, with Hot Fashion another firmly in the mix back from a break.

The choice is KATHMANDU, who gave the impression she was capable of better when not beaten far into fifth on her Kempton debut.

17:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/4 +8%) Elmalka	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(3) Elmalka 11/4, Foaled March 27. Kingman filly. Half-sister to several winners, including high-class 7f-1¼m winner Benbatl and smart 1¼m-1½m winner Modaara. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Beautifully bred and in-form stable has been doing well with 2yo newcomers lately.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +18%) Miss Kubelik	4.5 9/2(+18%)	(6) Miss Kubelik 9/2, Foaled January 30. €30,000 foal, 70,000 gns yearling, Holy Roman Emperor filly. Possesses a useful middle-distance pedigree and she's respected. Worth a market check, though dam's side of pedigree suggests she will appreciate further.
3	9 3rd (9) (13/8 +54%) Sea Regal	1.625 13/8(+54%)	(9) Sea Regal 13/8, Foaled May 9. Sea The Stars filly. Sister to 3 winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Sea Empress and 7f/1m winner Sea Tsarina. One to take seriously on debut. Enough to like on pedigree on debut for leading yard and the market should be informative.
4	2 4th (2) (16/1 +84%) Carping Caitlin	16 16/1(+84%)	(2) Carping Caitlin 16/1, Lope De Vega filly. 100/1, last of 10 in minor event at Newmarket (7f, heavy) on debut 20 days ago. Looks one for longer term. Last of ten on her Newmarket debut this month; needs to take a big step forward.
5th	1 5th (1) (10/3 +67%) Carpathian	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(1) Carpathian 10/3, Wootton Bassett filly. 28/1, sixth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (7f) 39 days ago, keeping on when short of room final 1f. Should have more to offer. Stepped up from her Haydock debut when sixth at Kempton last month; in the mix.
6th	7 6th (7) (150/1 -50%) Polyphema	150 150/1(-50%)	(7) Polyphema 150/1, Magna Grecia filly. Ninth of 10 in minor event (100/1) at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago. Can't be fancied on efforts so far. Well held in two starts at Newcastle; likely to have more options once handicapped.
7th	11 7th (11) (150/1 -50%) Yeulan	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) Yeulan 150/1, Advertise filly has finished down the field on all 6 starts. Out of the frame in all six starts on turf/Tapeta; impossible to recommend.
8th	10 8th (10) (66/1 -100%) Stacey Racey	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Stacey Racey 66/1, Foaled March 12. Bated Breath filly. Closely related to 6f-1m winner abroad Milwr and half-sister to 3 winners, including useful 1¼m-1½m winner Petite Jack and 1¼m-1¾m winner Cold Harbour. Mixed pedigree and she's best watched on debut. Wouldn't be an obvious winner on debut.
9th	4 9th (4) (200/1 -150%) Invincible Amy	200 200/1(-150%)	(4) Invincible Amy 200/1, Invincible Army filly. 50/1, ninth of 12 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Will be better off in handicaps. Well beaten in her first two starts six months apart; nurseries an option after this.

LTO Selection:

17:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

This can go to one of the debutants and, while Sea Regal and Miss Kubelik are a couple of well-bred newcomers running for high-profile yards, it is ELMALKA, a half-sister to multiple Group-race winner Benbatl, who captures the imagination most. Also related to a couple of winners on the all-weather, the daughter of Kingman is bred to be effective over this sort of trip and it would come as no surprise to see her primed to strike at the first time of asking.

ELMALKA is out of a dual Group 1 winning dam and she's taken to make a winning debut. Leveret sets a clear standard amongst those with prior experience, with Sea Regal and Miss Kubelik other well-bred newcomers representing top connections.

The vote goes to Benbatl's half-sister ELMALKA whose stable has been doing well with 2yo newcomers on the AW lately.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (3/1 +81%) Guy Fawkes	3 3/1(+81%)	(3) Guy Fawkes 3/1, Harry Angel gelding. Half-brother to 1m winner Search For Light and 2-y-o 7f winner Tinderbox. Wears hood for his first start. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Never raced for the Gosdens and interesting to see what the market says on debut; hood on.
2	1 2nd (1) (8/13 +15%) Al Farabi	0.615385 8/13(+15%)	(1) Al Farabi 8/13, First run since leaving A. Fabre when landing the odds (1/3) in 6-runner minor event at Kempton (7f) 30 days ago, cruising clear. Remains open to improvement and he looks to hold leading claims. Made a winning stable debut last month; major chance of going in again for in-form yard.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/2 -144%) Abbey Gardens	5.5 11/2(-144%)	(2) Abbey Gardens 11/2, Built on debut promise when winning 8-runner minor event (5/1) at Newcastle (1m) 9 days ago, holding on gamely. Not taken lightly with further progress to come. Won on second start at Newcastle; not sure drop to 7f ideal, but still a major player.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 -21%) Rooska	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(7) Rooska 17/2, Off just 8 days, below expectations when third of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (1m, 8/11) 3 weeks ago. However, no surprise to see him bounce back given a bit more time ahead of this outing. Placed in all five starts; this trip may suit but still likely to find one or two too good.
5th	11 5th (11) (200/1 -100%) Very Classy	200 200/1(-100%)	(11) Very Classy 200/1, Very green when seventh of 9 in minor event (50/1) at Newcastle (1m) on debut 24 days ago, very slowly away. Likely to need more time. Well beaten having blown the start on her Newcastle debut; needs more time.
6th	10 6th (10) (66/1 -100%) Roman Princess	66 66/1(-100%)	(10) Roman Princess 66/1, Showed bit more than on debut when third of 10 in minor event (80/1) at this C&D 79 days ago, despite having been badly hampered over 3f out. Another step forward required, though. Stepped up from her debut when third over C&D last time; no surprise if she hits the frame.
7th	6 7th (6) (50/1 -100%) Pierrefonds	50 50/1(-100%)	(6) Pierrefonds 50/1, Twice-raced in bumpers. In first-time hood, again failed to settle when sixth of 11 at Ludlow (15.8f, soft, 13/2) 15 days ago, though would have benefited from stronger gallop. Hood retained as he makes his Flat debut. Some ability on his second bumper start; hard to see him winning this.
8th	8 8th (8) (150/1 -200%) The Colorist	150 150/1(-200%)	(8) The Colorist 150/1, Time Test gelding. Half-brother to 11f winner Bella Colorossa. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to useful 1½m winner Kassiopeia. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut. Probably best watched on debut unless the market suggests otherwise.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AL FARABI confirmed the promise shown in France when scoring easily on his British/stable debut at Kempton last month and, despite having to shoulder a penalty, he is very much the one to beat. Abbey Gardens also brings winning form to the table, having just done enough at Newcastle recently, and she rates the biggest threat. Rooska, Paultons Square and Guy Fawkes are others to watch out for.

After 7 months off, AL FARABI made a winning start for Roger Varian in good style at Kempton a month ago and he can score again with more still to come. Abbey Gardens also opened her account at the second attempt and is respected in her follow-up bid, with Rooska completing the shortlist.

The vote goes to AL FARABI, who had little to beat on stable debut at Kempton last month but did it in the style of a nice type.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
7	7 (7) (33/1 +0%) Plastic Paddy	33 33/1(+0%)	(7) Plastic Paddy 33/1, Last of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Chelmsford City (8f) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Little room for manoeuvre off this mark and again goes without headgear.
1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +31%) Ron O	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(3) Ron O 11/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Redcar in August. 8/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 9 days ago, not much room. Could get involved if things drop right. Will need things to fall right from stall 12 but this four-time Tapeta winner is capable.
2	2 2nd (2) (3/1 +50%) Court Of Session	3 3/1(+50%)	(2) Court Of Session 3/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 9/1) 43 days ago, never nearer. Can make presence felt. Better in cheekpieces last time; six-week break since looks a bonus for his in-form yard.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 -60%) Al Rufaa	2 2/1(-60%)	(1) Al Rufaa 2/1, Won 10-runner handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago by 2¾ lengths from Power of Darkness, suited by strong pace. Carries penalty. Has good chance on form. Will be 2lb higher than under the penalty from tomorrow; leading claims now back in form.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -133%) Eligible	28 28/1(-133%)	(6) Eligible 28/1, Course winner. Latest win at York in May. 9/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm). Off 160 days. Likely to need the run. Nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh; has a bit to overcome over this longer trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (25/1 -108%) Kalganov	25 25/1(-108%)	(8) Kalganov 25/1, Latest win at Ayr in October. 16/1, first run since leaving David O'Meara when bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Can't be ruled out. Well held on his debut for this yard latest; goes beyond 7f for the first time this year.
6th	9 6th (9) (5/1 +33%) Power Of Darkness	5 5/1(+33%)	(9) Power Of Darkness 5/1, Latest win at Salisbury in September. 15/2, creditable 2¾ lengths second of 10 to Al Rufaa in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago. Likely to be on the premises again. 6lb better off with Al Rufaa than last Friday, which entitles him to close the gap.
7th	11 7th (11) (22/1 -10%) Light Up Our Stars	22 22/1(-10%)	(11) Light Up Our Stars 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. Last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 13/2) 10 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Needs a career-best effort at the age of seven in better company than he's used to facing.
8th	5 8th (5) (18/1 +45%) Alexander James	18 18/1(+45%)	(5) Alexander James 18/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Beverley in July. 50/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 85 days ago. Uphill task. Solid course record but whether he's still up to winning off this mark is the question.
9th	12 9th (12) (16/1 -220%) Kaaranah	16 16/1(-220%)	(12) Kaaranah 16/1, 17/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Kempton (8f) 67 days ago. Remains well treated on old form and merits strong consideration. Winner off 6lb lower at Kempton two months ago; has to improve on previous Tapeta efforts.
10th	4 10th (4) (14/1 +44%) True Statesman	14 14/1(+44%)	(4) True Statesman 14/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 16/1) 13 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Plenty to find on form. Only seen twice this season, again finishing well held back from six months latest.
11th	10 11th (10) (40/1 -21%) Cliffcake	40 40/1(-21%)	(10) Cliffcake 40/1, Course winner. Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. 14/1, last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 52 days ago. Others more appealing. In no form prior to a short break; arguably happier over 7f these days (can take a grip).

LTO Selection:

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

AL RUFAA won impressively over an extended 1m at Wolverhampton last week and a 5lb penalty probably wouldn't be enough to stop him if he can reproduce that level of performance. Court Of Session caught the eye when a staying-on fourth at Chelmsford last month and he is entitled to improve for that first outing since June, while Eligible and Kaaranah are other names to note.

AL RUFAA is unexposed for his current stable and had plenty to spare when scoring at Wolverhampton a week ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, he should be able to follow up. Kaaranah fits a similar profile as an impressive last-time-out winner who is still well treated, so he's regarded as the main danger ahead of Court of Session.

Rated as high as 105 in the past, AL RUFAA bounced back to form a week ago and is 2lb well-in. Court Of Session is second choice.

1	11 1st (11) (22/1 -38%) Brummell	22 22/1(-38%)	(11) Brummell 22/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Newcastle (5f) 42 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes handicap debut. Something to find on form and has the worst of the draw. Not shown enough to be considered from stall 12 unless the market speaks firmly his way.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/2 +38%) Gloves	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(8) Gloves 5/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, good fifth of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (5f, 7/2) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Step up in trip should suit and she's one to note. Did well to get as close as she did last time; 6f can suit if getting away better/settling.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/2 +22%) Art Fantastique	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(6) Art Fantastique 7/2, Much improved since switched to nurseries and, having completed a double when scoring at Brighton 82 days ago, he's a big player having his first go on tapeta. 8lb rise demands more back from a break on his AW debut, but he may well be up to it.
4	1 4th (1) (4/1 +0%) Chapman	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Chapman 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Excellent second of 10 in nursery at Lingfield (6f, AW, 7/2) 28 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Hood back on. Makes plenty of appeal. Much better behind a subsequent winner last time and goes on the shortlist.
5th	4 5th (4) (9/1 +0%) Magnificent Match	9 9/1(+0%)	(4) Magnificent Match 9/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, eighth of 10 in nursery at Windsor (6f, good to firm), lost all chance at start. Off 99 days. Makes tapeta debut. Gelded since last seen in the summer; would want to see good support.
6th	10 6th (10) (66/1 -200%) Chat Up Line	66 66/1(-200%)	(10) Chat Up Line 66/1, Winner at Nottingham in July. 40/1, bit below form seventh of 12 in nursery at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Others make more appeal. Fully exposed now; well held behind Madame Christine back from a short break last time.
7th	12 7th (12) (12/1 -9%) Madame Christine	12 12/1(-9%)	(12) Madame Christine 12/1, Creditable fourth of 12 in nursery (16/1) at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago. One to consider. Inconsistent maiden who's fully exposed; only holds each-way claims.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 -43%) Sea Of Angels	20 20/1(-43%)	(5) Sea Of Angels 20/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/1, ninth of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 34 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Worth a market check. Retains potential for a yard in decent nick; market strength would make her of interest.
9th	9 9th (9) (33/1 -136%) Lincoln's Inn	33 33/1(-136%)	(9) Lincoln's Inn 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 11 in maiden (50/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 48 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Up against it. Rare 2yo runner for her yard; shown enough to suggest she can feature at this level.
10th	2 10th (2) (9/2 -29%) Zachary	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(2) Zachary 9/2, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 4/6, below form fifth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f) 15 days ago, doing too much too soon. Likely to get back on the up, so deserves serious consideration. Turned over at odds-on under a penalty last time and 4lb higher tonight; still has claims.
11th	3 11th (3) (50/1 -150%) Indication Court	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Indication Court 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, last of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 13 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes handicap debut. Has been handed a stiff opening mark. Hasn't built on a fair turf debut; first-time headgear will need to help plenty.

LTO Selection:

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Art Fantastique makes his all-weather debut on the back of victories at Windsor and Brighton and he must enter calculations, but CHAPMAN gets the nod. He was narrowly defeated by a subsequent winner on his handicap debut at Lingfield last month and, open to greater improvement, he looks capable of defying a 1lb rise in the ratings. Zachary and Gloves add further spice to the race.

ZACHARY probably found the race coming too soon at Chelmsford last time but he was impressive at that track on his previous outing and he's fancied to resume progress. Hat-trick seeker Art Fantastique is another player and Chapman can't be ruled out.

Gloves needs to settle upped to 6f and CHAPMAN, whose Lingfield second a month ago reads well enough, looks the better option.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (10/1 +17%) She's The Danger	10 10/1(+17%)	(8) She's The Danger 10/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 10 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Should be suited by the return to 6f; 10lb lower than when third over C&D late last year.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +10%) Bomb Squad	9 9/1(+10%)	(2) Bomb Squad 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in August. Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 17/2) 34 days ago, nearest finish. Place possibilities. Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D in August, but capable of making an impact.
3	12 3rd (12) (22/1 -57%) Higher Law	22 22/1(-57%)	(12) Higher Law 22/1, 18/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago, nearest finish. Still, he looks vulnerable for a win perspective. 0-11; not far behind Henery Hawk last time, but others are still more convincing.
4	6 4th (6) (9/2 +25%) El Hibri	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(6) El Hibri 9/2, Unreliable type. Winner at Kempton in September. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (6/1) at Newcastle (6f) 5 days ago, not ideally placed. Now tried in a visor and he's one to consider. Didn't enjoy much luck after winning at Kempton in September and is drawn wide here.
5th	1 5th (1) (3/1 +33%) Flash The Dash	3 3/1(+33%)	(1) Flash The Dash 3/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 7/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 22 days ago. Enters calculations. Back to form then third last time and form has been franked, but he has the outside stall.
6th	11 6th (11) (5/1 -43%) Henery Hawk	5 5/1(-43%)	(11) Henery Hawk 5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 11/4, creditable second of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 7 days ago. Shortlist material. Has improved plenty to record two wins and a second since last month; solid chance again.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 -371%) Dandys Gold	33 33/1(-371%)	(10) Dandys Gold 33/1, 33/1, won 9-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f) 17 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and while more will ne needed in order to follow up, she's not discounted. 33-1 winner last time, but not an obvious one to follow up and is drawn wide.
8th	4 8th (4) (4/1 +33%) Catesby	4 4/1(+33%)	(4) Catesby 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 14/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 6 days ago. Live each-way contender. Made all over C&D last month and third in a better race since; may get the lead; player.
9th	7 9th (7) (22/1 -83%) Cubanista	22 22/1(-83%)	(7) Cubanista 22/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Catterick (5f, heavy, 17/2) 24 days ago. Back up in trip and will probably find a couple of these too good. Record of 1-21 dampens enthusiam and well beaten in both previous attempts on the AW.
10th	9 10th (9) (12/1 +0%) Langholm	12 12/1(+0%)	(9) Langholm 12/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (6f) 10 days ago. On a competitive mark. Not beaten far last time, but losing run is up to 20 and others make greater appeal.
11th	5 11th (5) (28/1 -100%) Elizabeth's Joy	28 28/1(-100%)	(5) Elizabeth's Joy 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 8 in maiden at Catterick (7f, good to firm, 18/1). Off 167 days ahead of this handicap debut and she needs to take a significant step forward here. Makes her handicap debut after 167 days off, but is a half-sister to a winner around here.
12th	3 12th (3) (50/1 -150%) Dapper Man	50 50/1(-150%)	(3) Dapper Man 50/1, Course winner. 28/1, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 21 days ago. Back up in trip and would be a danger to all if he were to bounce back. 1lb lower than when winning over 5f here in May, but held since and is 0-11 over 6f+.

LTO Selection:

19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

EL HIBRI wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth from an uncompromising position at Newcastle on Sunday and the fitting of a first-time visor may unlock enough improvement for the four-year-old to land the spoils here. C&D winner Catesby made the frame at Wolverhampton recently and Scott Dixon's charge is likely to be on the premises again. Fellow in-form rival Henery Hawk isn't taken lightly and completes the shortlist.

HENERY HAWK came up short when bidding for the hat-trick at Wolverhampton last week and, turned out again quickly off the same mark, he could be the answer. Next on the list is Flash The Dash, who was a good third at Newcastle following a wind op and he is likely to get his head in front before long. Catesby and El Hibri are also considered.

It could be worth taking a chance with SHE'S THE DANGER who is 10lb lower than when third of 14 in a 0-75 over C&D late last year.

1	3 1st (3) (11/4 +45%) Khabib	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(3) Khabib 11/4, C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 5/2, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 17 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark and likely to be on the premises. Record over C&D reads 1223; down to a 0-75 for the first time since winning in March 2022.
2	4 2nd (4) (11/4 +75%) Twilight Madness	2.75 11/4(+75%)	(4) Twilight Madness 11/4, C&D winner. 9/2, tenth of 11 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good to firm) 70 days ago. Others look stronger. Completed a Tapeta hat-trick late last year, but recent efforts have been underwhelming.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 +44%) Angle Land	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(1) Angle Land 9/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 17 runs this year. 17/2, fourth of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 23 days ago. Merits consideration. C&D winner and 5lb below last winning mark; return to Class 5 company a positive.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 -14%) Rose King	4 4/1(-14%)	(2) Rose King 4/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Good second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 11/8) 29 days ago. Needs considering. Won twice here earlier in year and ran well at Lingfield last time; interesting back here.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -67%) So Grateful	10 10/1(-67%)	(8) So Grateful 10/1, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 14 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Likely to find one or two too good. Won three times here in the summer of last year, but may need a stiffer 5f than this now.
6th	9 6th (9) (12/1 -100%) Leodis Dream	12 12/1(-100%)	(9) Leodis Dream 12/1, Latest win at Beverley in September. Good second of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Remains on a good mark up 2 lb and he's one of the more appealing candidates. Prominent racer who should give it another a good go from the front on first visit here.
7th	10 7th (10) (50/1 -257%) Canaria Queen	50 50/1(-257%)	(10) Canaria Queen 50/1, Winner at Musselburgh in September. 10/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good) 55 days ago. Makes tapeta debut and minor place money is just about the best her connections can hope for. Well beaten in both handicaps, but her half-brother won over C&D last month.
8th	11 8th (11) (18/1 +36%) Bell Shot	18 18/1(+36%)	(11) Bell Shot 18/1, 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 29 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Yard saddles a stronger contender in Angle Land. Little in four starts for this yard since returning in August, including on Polytrack.
9th	6 9th (6) (33/1 +0%) Dream By Day	33 33/1(+0%)	(6) Dream By Day 33/1, Latest win at Goodwood in August. First run since leaving Kevin Philippart De Foy when ninth of 13 in handicap (100/1) at Salisbury (6f, heavy) 50 days ago. Opposable. Well held on stable debut at Salisbury last month and unplaced in four attempts on the AW.
10th	12 10th (12) (18/1 -64%) Captain's Bar	18 18/1(-64%)	(12) Captain's Bar 18/1, Latest win at Newcastle in October. 9/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, ninth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 21 days ago. Blinkers back on and will have a fighting chance if he puts his best foot forward. Won at Newcastle last month but pulled too hard in cheekpieces last time; blinkers return.
11th	5 11th (5) (100/1 -257%) Giogiobbo	100 100/1(-257%)	(5) Giogiobbo 100/1, C&D winner. 40/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 9 days ago. Needs to bounce back. C&D winner who wasn't seen for 15 months until nine days ago; this comes soon enough.

LTO Selection:

19:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

BRIGHT made the perfect start for new connections when opening his account in novice contest at Wolverhampton last month. Mark Loughnane's gelding makes his handicap bow off what looks a workable mark and a double appears a distinct possibility. Dual course winner Rose King clearly enjoys it here and he may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Angle Land, who has dropped to an attractive rating.

LEODIS DREAM lost no caste in defeat when touched off at Newcastle a fortnight ago and he is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of Khabib, who is now 3 lb below his last winning mark and has been knocking on the door of late. Rose King is 2-3 here and looks sure to be in the thick of things once again, while handicap-debutant Bright is another to consider in what looks like an open race.

The choice is KHABIB (nap) whose record over C&D reads 1223. He drops into a 0-75 for the first time since March of last year.

1	5 1st (5) (15/8 -7%) Eagle's Realm	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(5) Eagle's Realm 15/8, On a hat-trick after 2 wins at Wolverhampton (this trip) and Newcastle (2m). Unpenalised for his success at the latter 9 days ago as it came in an apprentice race. Leading claims under Billy Loughnane. Bids for a Tapeta hat-trick (2lb well in); respected with his stamina assured.
2	9 2nd (9) (15/2 +38%) Kiss My Face	7.5 15/2(+38%)	(9) Kiss My Face 15/2, In top in the spring, including a pair of 2m course wins. Off 6 months, might have just needed the outing when fifth of 9 over 2m at Newcastle 5 weeks ago. Should be sharper now. In fine form over hurdles/AW earlier in year; a player if getting a good pace to aim at.
3	11 3rd (11) (16/1 -33%) Autonomy	16 16/1(-33%)	(11) Autonomy 16/1, Course winner. Six wins from 20 Flat runs. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Wolverhampton (16.5f) 34 days ago. 6-20 on AW; fourth on second start back from a long absence last time; worth a second look.
4	1 4th (1) (25/1 -56%) Hidden Depths	25 25/1(-56%)	(1) Hidden Depths 25/1, Won over fences at Sedgefield in October. Fair fourth at Huntingdon since. Well held on latest Flat start but he's more than capable at this level if on a going day. Dual winner over fences this year, but 0-8 on the AW; others more solid..
5th	12 5th (12) (10/1 -54%) Prince Abu	10 10/1(-54%)	(12) Prince Abu 10/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, good neck third of 7 to Shadowfax in handicap at Chelmsford 14 days ago. Dual C&D winner and 7lb below last winning mark; interesting back here.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/2 +61%) King Viktor	5.5 11/2(+61%)	(7) King Viktor 11/2, Course winner in 2021 but not seen since finishing mid-field at York in May 2022. Betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. First and second in two starts on the Fibresand here but returns from another 551 days off.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -300%) Clearance	100 100/1(-300%)	(6) Clearance 100/1, Has won 3 times over hurdles since last seen on the Flat at the start of 2023. His run of good form over hurdles did come to a halt when a remote last of 4 at Fontwell last month, though. Three wins over hurdles this summer, but last six AW efforts leave something to be desired.
8th	4 8th (4) (9/2 -29%) Carlos Felix	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(4) Carlos Felix 9/2, Course winner for Phil Kirby who made a winning start for Stella Barclay in a Newcastle apprentice handicap 10 days ago. Escapes a penalty so another bold bid is likely. Avoids a penalty for latest win and 3lb well in; major player if he stays.
9th	2 9th (2) (10/1 +38%) Bristol Hill	10 10/1(+38%)	(2) Bristol Hill 10/1, Won at Newcastle and Wolverhampton in the spring. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield 23 days ago considering he shaped as though that first outing in 6 months was needed. Dual Tapeta winner in the spring, but stamina wasn't proven over C&D earlier in year.
10th	3 10th (3) (20/1 +9%) Social City	20 20/1(+9%)	(3) Social City 20/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. 20/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this course (16.5f) 79 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Tony Carroll. Others more persuasive. Back off his last winning mark on stable debut, but he may need further than this now.
11th	10 11th (10) (10/1 -54%) Shadowfax	10 10/1(-54%)	(10) Shadowfax 10/1, 10/3 and cheekpieces on first time, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford 14 days ago. Did enjoy the run of things from the front but he's only been nudged up 1 lb. Off the mark under a positive ride at Chelmsford last time; could enjoy run of the race.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

EAGLE'S REALM arrives at the top of his game, as evidenced in his recent victories at Wolverhampton and Newcastle. The five-year-old escapes a penalty for his latest success in an apprentice event and he's hard to oppose racing off the same mark. Fellow last-time-out winner Shadowfax may give the gelded son of Free Eagle most to think about, shortly followed by Prince Abu.

EAGLE'S REALM and Carlos Felix both escape penalties for their wins in apprentice company at Newcastle last week and are the pair to focus on, with a narrow preference for the former with Billy Loughnane doing the steering. Hidden Depths and Kiss My Face can fight it out for third.

Dual C&D winner PRINCE ABU has been suggesting he is about ready to strike having dropped 7lb below his last winning mark.

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.
