12:15 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/4 -10%) Theformismighty	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Theformismighty 11/4, Expensive point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Market Rasen in March. Type to make a better chaser and made a promising start over fences when fourth at Chepstow on return. Can build on that with headgear applied. Irish point winner; plenty to like about chase debut over 2m3f in higher grade; improve.
2	7 2nd (7) (9/1 +10%) Kaituna River	9 9/1(+10%)	(7) Kaituna River 9/1, A fair winner at 21f over hurdles and he recorded a creditable third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Wetherby (19.7f, good) 32 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut. Won Irish point; respectable 2m3f chase debut; likely more needed to win today.
3	1 3rd (1) (14/1 -87%) Jaramillo	14 14/1(-87%)	(1) Jaramillo 14/1, Scored at Sedgefield in September and recorded a good second of 5 in handicap hurdle there (19.8f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Much respected on his chase debut. In top form in 2m4f hurdles; needs more switched to fences; suited by good ground.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 +0%) Awaythelad	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Awaythelad 4/1, A dual winning hurdler around 2m4f who shaped well on his first go over fences when third of 11 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good) 21 days ago. That form has been franked so a bold showing is on the cards. Failed to go on in handicap hurdles but his recent 2m4f chase debut was a good start.
5th	8 5th (8) (80/1 -220%) Sainte Doctor	80 80/1(-220%)	(8) Sainte Doctor 80/1, Scored at Chepstow and Ludlow in April, 2023, and resumed from 18 months off with a well-held last of 3 in 2m4f Plumpton handicap chase 43 days ago. Ended latest campaign with 2 chase wins in April 2023; finished remote on comeback.
6th	4 6th (4) (5/2 +38%) Yes Day	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(4) Yes Day 5/2, Fairly useful 2m4f winner at 20f over hurdles. Made a promising start in this sphere when third of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 28 days ago. Capable of better. Good staying hurdle form; promising chase debut over 2m4f; looks sure to do better.
2	2 \|U\| (2) (10/1 +29%) Champagnesuperover	10 10/1(+29%)	(2) Champagnesuperover 10/1, Dual chaser winner around 3m in spring 2022. Lightly raced since and considerately handled when tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Since had a wind op and he's one to keep an eye on. Lightly raced now but on a low mark on past form and strongly hinted at revival latest.
9	9 \|PU\| (9) (12/1 +14%) Imac Wood	12 12/1(+14%)	(9) Imac Wood 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter in July but only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 28 days ago. Others are more persuasive. Six chase wins; below best in last two starts and will do well to add to haul here.
10	10 \|PU\| (10) (18/1 -64%) Heroique De Maulde	18 18/1(-64%)	(10) Heroique De Maulde 18/1, Scored at Doncaster in February 2023, for James Ewart. Looked rusty after 18 months off for his new yard when twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Can take a step forward. Three chase wins in France and Britain; low-key start for this yard back from absence.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 -21%) Russian Ruler	40 40/1(-21%)	(6) Russian Ruler 40/1, Ended last term out of sorts for Nicky Henderson, fourteenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) in April. Reverts to fences with lots more required on yard debut. Promising chase debut but had unhappy experiences since; well treated for new yard.

12:15 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

THEFORMISMIGHTY made a promising start to his chasing career with a respectable fourth-placed finish over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in October and could find the addition of cheekpieces unlocks another gear, with the additional yardage also a likely source of improvement. Awaythelad and Yes Day both have similar profiles to the selection and also need serious consideration. Sainte Doctor holds a solid each-way chance.

Ben Pauling's AWAYTHELAD made a promising start over fences when a recent third at Lingfield and with that form working out well he looks the way to go. Both Theformismighty and Yes Day have better days ahead of them too and can have a say, while chasing newcomers Jaramillo and Kaituna River also bring potential in this intriguing handicap.

Theformismighty should be winning over fences soon but YES DAY also made a good impression on his chase debut and is preferred.

2	2 2nd (2) (13/2 +7%) Extraordinary Man	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(2) Extraordinary Man 13/2, Off 10 months/had a wind op before posting a respectable fourth of 12 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon. Player off a 2 lb lower mark. 1-20 over jumps; should come on for reappearance fourth (first run after wind op); player.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +44%) Havock	5 5/1(+44%)	(4) Havock 5/1, Still a maiden but he failed to get home when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 171 days ago. Possibilities significantly back down in trip. 0-11 including in four chases; well beaten last three starts; may do better after a break.
7	7 \|U\| (7) (11/2 -10%) Haafback	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(7) Haafback 11/2, Made a winning start over fences in 7-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (16f, good to soft) 26 days ago. Must enter calculations nudged up 1 lb. Hit and miss as a hurdler; made a winning chase debut; should improve for the experience.
1	1 \|PU\| (1) (6/5 +20%) Neigh Botha	1.2 6/5(+20%)	(1) Neigh Botha 6/5, Career best when winning 13-runner handicap hurdle over C&D (good) 7 days ago. Needs considering back in this sphere. Two C&D wins here this year, the latest a novice h'cap hurdle off this mark; chance.
6	6 \|PU\| (6) (10/1 -11%) Well Vicky	10 10/1(-11%)	(6) Well Vicky 10/1, It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2023 and she turned in a below-par third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Worcester (16f, heavy) 48 days ago. More is required on her first go over fences. Won 3 h'cap hurdles in 2023; not so good since; chase debut (fell on two starts in points).
3	3 \|PU\| (3) (14/1 -180%) Ben Buie	14 14/1(-180%)	(3) Ben Buie 14/1, Unreliable sort but he posted a good third of 12 in handicap chase at Hereford (16f, good) 29 days ago. Needs to back it up now. Hereford winner in October lin 2023, and fair third over same C&D last time; a possible.

12:45 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Last-time-out winners NEIGH BOTHA and Haafback are suggested as the pair to focus on. Although a surprise winner on the day, the latter won with something in hand at Ludlow on his chasing debut and must rate a player off just 1lb higher. Nevertheless, the former has a stronger overall profile and could be up to giving weight away all round with his proven liking for this venue a big plus. Ben Buie and Havock complete the shortlist.

EXTRAORDINARY MAN teed himself up well for this when an encouraging reappearance fourth at Hereford and can capitalise on a lenient mark. Neigh Botha could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent C&D success, with Ludlow victor Haafback also in the mix.

After a fair run last time EXTRAORDINARY MAN can win his second race over fences on his second run since wind surgery.

13:15 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (25/1 -25%) One Knight	25 25/1(-25%)	(5) One Knight 25/1, Sent off at 100/30 when last of 11 in bumper at Warwick in April (only start for Toby Lawes). His strength in the betting suggests better was expected and it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' return setting out for a new yard. Finished last on bumper debut in April; may need more time; new yard.
2	4 2nd (4) (15/2 -88%) Nazare	7.5 15/2(-88%)	(4) Nazare 15/2, Masterstroke half-brother to Italian 7f-1¼m winner Mexico Point. Dam unraced. His good trainer is only 1-13 in bumpers so far but expect that strike-rate to improve before long. Very good middle-distance family; up-and-coming yard 1-14 in bumpers; worth market check.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/2 +38%) Star Artist	2.5 5/2(+38%)	(7) Star Artist 5/2, Telescope gelding who is a half-brother to bumper winners and showed a fair level of ability when fourth of 8 on his Huntingdon debut in March. Should improve for that experience and respected. Yard has done well with the family in bumpers/on Flat; shaped nicely on debut; improve.
4	8 4th (8) (4/1 +33%) Dramatic Encore	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) Dramatic Encore 4/1, Purchased for £65,000 after reaching the frame both starts in Irish points. Has joined a good stable and would firmly enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. Well-connected 4yo; placed in two Irish points; sold £65,000 since; let the market guide.
5th	1 5th (1) (9/4 +18%) Berkenshtaaap	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(1) Berkenshtaaap 9/4, Purchased for £45,000 after winning sole start in Irish points (May 26). Interesting runner for a stable with a very healthy bumper strike-rate. Winner of ordinary Irish point; sold £45,000 since; new yard has good record in bumpers.
6th	6 6th (6) (18/1 -13%) Osterberg	18 18/1(-13%)	(6) Osterberg 18/1, 80/1, down the field on his Cheltenham debut in October. Will need to leave that run well behind now. Good staying jumps pedigree; minor promise on Cheltenham bumper debut; can improve.
7th	9 7th (9) (66/1 +34%) Precious Jean	66 66/1(+34%)	(9) Precious Jean 66/1, Well held in bumpers at Cheltenham and over C&D in the spring. Outsider on return. Minor form in Cheltenham and C&D bumpers, 28-1 in the latter during May.
8th	3 8th (3) (12/1 -100%) Hestina Hill	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Hestina Hill 12/1, Kingston Hill gelding. Dam (h119) 2m/17f hurdle winner, also 1½m winner on Flat. Has had wind surgery. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for top yard. Out of 1m4f Flat winner who won 3 hurdles for the yard; had wind op; check the betting.
9th	2 9th (2) (18/1 -13%) Clearisthewater	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) Clearisthewater 18/1, Point winner but beaten around 14 lengths in bumpers at Warwick and Sedgefield this autumn.

13:15 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BERKENSHTAAAP was purchased for 45,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in May and Olly Murphy's gelding merits the utmost respect on his Rules debut. Star Artist was not disgraced when filling fourth place on his racecourse bow in a Huntingdon bumper earlier in the year and he should not be discounted. Others to note are Hestina Hill and Dramatic Encore.

There's a few interesting sorts among the Rules newcomers, none more so than Dan Skelton's HESTINA HILL, who gets the nod before any market clues are known. Irish point recruits Berkenshtaaap and Dramatic Encore are other likely types for whom the betting should be informative, while Star Artist looks pick of those with experience.

Berkenshtaaap is an interesting recruit but STAR ARTIST made a good start to his career in the spring and should come on plenty.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments

Won Irish point in March and ran to a high figure for one beaten in a bumper when second at Chepstow a month ago. One to take seriously switched to hurdling. Irish point winner; close second in Chepstow bumper on rules debut; likely contender.
2	1 2nd (1) (18/1 +45%) Baseline	18 18/1(+45%)	(1) Baseline 18/1, Pulled up sole start between the flags in April. Given a considerate introduction when a remote fourth in October 2022 and off the track since. Hood on and returns with yard among the winners. Made low-key rules debut over two years ago and has something to prove on comeback.
3	8 3rd (8) (6/1 +33%) Sun Art	6 6/1(+33%)	(8) Sun Art 6/1, Hooded and positives to draw from his bumper/maiden hurdle runs this autumn but he could be one for further down the line. Showed promise in a bumper and on hurdling debut but needs to learn to settle better.
4	3 4th (3) (15/2 +17%) Inishnabro	7.5 15/2(+17%)	(3) Inishnabro 15/2, Half-brother to a couple of winning hurdlers and won by a wide margin on the second of his 2 runs between the flags. Positive start to Rules career when second at Market Rasen 3 weeks ago but bare form is ordinary. No match for winner when second on hurdling debut but improvement is possible.
5th	6 5th (6) (13/8 +46%) Le Fauve	1.625 13/8(+46%)	(6) Le Fauve 13/8, Bought for €105,000 after going down by a nose on hurdling debut in France and promising third in Aintree listed event on first run for new yard in December. No show in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham but back on track when runner-up at Newbury in March. Disappointing on return but he's in the right hands. Placed in stronger race than this on seasonal debut at Chepstow; leading contender.
6th	7 6th (7) (22/1 -57%) Shan't Wait	22 22/1(-57%)	(7) Shan't Wait 22/1, €35,000 3-y-o, fifth foal, half-brother to 2 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Sea Invasion (21f winner, by Sea Moon): dam 9f-1¾m winner. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Sea Invasion; worth a glance in the betting on debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (100/1 -203%) Alexandra Larose	100 100/1(-203%)	(10) Alexandra Larose 100/1, Sister to bumper winner/useful 2¾m hurdle winner Shannon Royale. Minor promise on second of 2 starts in bumpers back in the spring for Georgina Nicholls and never dangerous hurdling for new yard. Safely held when making the frame in two bumpers; tailed off when switched to hurdling.
8th	2 8th (2) (80/1 -21%) Classical Sting	80 80/1(-21%)	(2) Classical Sting 80/1, Bred to stay well and didn't show much starting out over C&D 18 days ago. Did not achieve much when third of four over C&D on last month's debut.

13:45 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Le Fauve was highly tried as a juvenile but was slightly disappointing when a well-held third on his return at Chepstow in October. A subsequent wind operation may help his chances here, but preference is for JORDANS CROSS. The son of Berkshire won between the flags and filled second place on his Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper. With the benefit of that experience, he could be hard to stop. Law Of The Sea is another with valid form claims.

Having won an Irish point, JORDANS CROSS showed plenty to work on when second in a Chepstow bumper a month ago and he's the most appealing option now hurdling. Le Fauve is a huge threat on the pick of last season's form, with Law of The Sea the type to go on improving over obstacles.

Preference is for Irish point winner JORDANS CROSS, who began his rules career with a good second in a Chepstow bumper last month.

1	2 1st (2) (5/6 +52%) Daytime Dreaming	0.833333 5/6(+52%)	(2) Daytime Dreaming 5/6, Runner-up on sole outing in points and made a perfectly satisfactory start over hurdles when fourth of 10 in novice at Uttoxeter 46 days ago. Form pick. Promising hurdle debut when fourth at Uttoxeter in October; big player in this easier race.
2	3 2nd (3) (10/3 -67%) Disguisedlimit	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(3) Disguisedlimit 10/3, €70,000 3-y-o, £150,000 5-y-o, Mahler gelding. Won sole start in Irish points (Apr 20) and showed some promise despite being beaten a long way in the end when third on hurdles bow at Chepstow 4 weeks ago. Hooded. Point winner; went off too hard on hurdling debut; hood may help him to settle here.
3	9 3rd (9) (4/1 +71%) Tramuntana	4 4/1(+71%)	(9) Tramuntana 4/1, Perfect start in 3-runner newcomers bumper at Fakenham a year ago but well held both starts since, though was ridden very much with an eye on the future on hurdles bow at Stratford on return. Won a three-runner bumper last season but was safely held on hurdling debut in October.
4	8 4th (8) (125/1 +0%) Tottenham Green	125 125/1(+0%)	(8) Tottenham Green 125/1, Maiden Irish pointer who offered little in novice hurdle at this C&D on Rules debut. Tailed-off 66-1 shot over C&D on stable/hurdle debut at week ago.
5th	6 5th (6) (25/1 -39%) Most Wanted	25 25/1(-39%)	(6) Most Wanted 25/1, Fairly useful form on Flat, placed all 4 starts up to 1¼m for Andrew Kinirons. Far too headstrong to last home sent hurdling after 16 months off at Kempton 3 weeks ago and needs to settle down. Quite useful on the Flat in Ireland and shaped with promise on recent stable/hurdle debut.
6th	7 6th (7) (40/1 -60%) Portcammon	40 40/1(-60%)	(7) Portcammon 40/1, Landed the odds in good style in a Roscommon bumper for Willie Mullins last year. Has failed to build on that since, however. including when well held on debut for this yard at Newbury last month. Bumper winner for Willie Mullins in 2023 but struggled on recent stable debut.
5	5 \|F\| (5) (11/1 -10%) Kingsley	11 11/1(-10%)	(5) Kingsley 11/1, €86,000 half-brother to fairly useful hurdler/chaser Fest Deiz and fair hurdler/chase winner Gerard Mentor. Nearer last than first on his introduction in a Worcester bumper but he nevertheless offered something to work on and may leave that behind now switched to hurdles. Only beaten about 12l when eighth in Worcester bumper in October but needs to improve here.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (18/1 +10%) Kalahari King	18 18/1(+10%)	(4) Kalahari King 18/1, Well held in a couple of bumpers but showed a bit sent hurdling after 9 months off when third at Ffos Las last month. Related to connections' smart hurdler/high-class chaser up to 23f Kalashnikov so may do better. Headgear on. Made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held third at Ffos Las last month.

14:15 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DISGUISEDLIMIT may have been well held when filling third place on his Rules debut at Chepstow last month, but that was a competitive event and the former point-to-point winner should be capable of going well in this company. Daytime Dreaming may prove to be the main threat following his encouraging effort at Uttoxeter in October, while any market support for Bank On Frank would have to be noted.

DAYTIME DREAMING's hurdling debut form is working out well and this looks a winnable maiden for him. Most Wanted was too fresh on his belated comeback/hurdling debut at Kempton but he was fairly useful on the Flat for his previous yard so isn't taken lightly with that run under his belt, with newcomer Bank On Frank another to note.

Disguisedlimit can improve if more relaxed this time but a safer option is DAYTIME DREAMING, who shaped well on his hurdling debut.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (1/1 +43%) Mr Hope Street	1 1/1(+43%)	(6) Mr Hope Street 1/1, Progressive in handicaps over 2½m, winning twice in the spring and clear with another improver when second back from a 5-month break at Carlisle in October. Leading claims now stepping up to 3m for the first time. Has done well in 2m4f handicaps; should stay this sharp 3m and give it a good shot.
2	3 2nd (3) (13/2 -44%) Toonagh Warrior	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(3) Toonagh Warrior 13/2, Wetherby novice winner last November and mostly creditable efforts in defeat in handicaps since, notably when second over 20.5f here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 18 days ago. Big player if his stamina holds now going up in trip again. Consistent if vulnerable in handicaps at up to 2m4f; not sure to want 3m.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -29%) Craven Bay	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(1) Craven Bay 9/2, Very much on the up for his new yard, making it 3 wins in his 4 starts when seeing off 5 rivals at Kempton (3m, good to soft) last Monday. A 7 lb penalty demands more but further progress can't be discounted in his current mood. Progressive stayer; eased away at Kempton (3m) to make it 3-4 for this yard; penalised.
4	8 4th (8) (8/1 +20%) Burrows Hall	8 8/1(+20%)	(8) Burrows Hall 8/1, Fair winning hurdler at up to 25f. Made a solid start to his chase career after a break when third over 19f at Sedgefield last month. Ought to be competitive back in this sphere. Improved to win over 3m1f in February; should have more to come at this trip over hurdles.
5th	7 5th (7) (10/1 -33%) Tzarmix	10 10/1(-33%)	(7) Tzarmix 10/1, Lightly-raced 6-y-o who landed a Chepstow novice for Sam Thomas back in March 2023. Has drawn a blank in handicaps for this yard since but latest 3m Wetherby third was creditable. The tongue tie and cheekpieces he's worn on his last 4 starts are left off. Consistent without progressing in staying handicaps of late; probably needs extra push.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (18/1 -50%) Space Voyage	18 18/1(-50%)	(2) Space Voyage 18/1, Bounced back to form to win a 2½m Perth handicap in April and made a respectable return from 6 months off when sixth of 12 at Wincanton (21f) 24 days ago. No surprise were she to go well having dipped to the mark she defied at Perth. Looked to have share of weight since 2m4f win in April and minor form at 3m previously.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (22/1 -57%) Tribal Glory	22 22/1(-57%)	(5) Tribal Glory 22/1, Point winner who landed a Worcester bumper last summer. Filled the runner-up spot in Newton Abbot maidens on first 2 starts over hurdles but made an underwhelming start to his handicap career at Market Rasen 19 days ago. Up in trip. Should be capable of better in handicaps but stamina to prove upped to 3m.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (50/1 -52%) Farmer's Gamble	50 50/1(-52%)	(4) Farmer's Gamble 50/1, Exeter handicap hurdle winner in February 2023 but has found life tough since, pulling up back hurdling at Newbury when last seen in March. Mr Hope Street looks very much the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise. Latest staying win in early 2023; nothing comparable since; revival possible off good mark.

14:45 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive Craven Bay regained the winning thread when drawing clear of his rivals at Kempton eight days ago. However, a 7lb penalty and quick turnaround may be enough to weigh him down and MR HOPE STREET makes slightly more appeal up in distance. The son of Jet Away arrives on the back of a solid second and this first attempt over 3m may see him back in the winner's enclosure. Space Voyage may fare best of the remainder.

MR HOPE STREET is taken to continue his improvement now moving up to 3m for the first time. Toonagh Warrior is another stepping up in distance and will be a threat if his stamina holds. Craven Bay isn't obviously well treated under a 7 lb penalty but should also have a part to play in his current vein of form.

15:15 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 16 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	16 1st (16) (20/1 +0%) Miss Applejack	20 20/1(+0%)	(16) Miss Applejack 20/1, A fair bumper winner but she's yet to score in this sphere (0-9 over hurdles) and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap helping to spark improvement. Bumper winner; poor over hurdles; tongue-tie and cheekpieces now tried; 2lb out the h'cap.
2	7 2nd (7) (3/1 +33%) Skiffle Man	3 3/1(+33%)	(7) Skiffle Man 3/1, Midfield at best in his qualifying runs but has hinted at promise and will likely come into his own now upped in trip on handicap debut for his top stable. Sports first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap and it'll be interesting to see if support arrives for this 5-y-o. Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles; may fare better with headgear up in trip on h'cap debut.
3	6 3rd (6) (22/1 +12%) Moor End	22 22/1(+12%)	(6) Moor End 22/1, Didn't shape at all badly when third on debut in a bumper here in February. Has failed to trouble the judge in 2 completed starts over hurdles but it wouldn't be a surprise were he to show himself in a better light now handicapping. One to note in the betting. 100-1 third in a bumper on debut; ordinary form over hurdles so far; probably best watched.
4	13 4th (13) (9/1 -38%) Well Done Dani	9 9/1(-38%)	(13) Well Done Dani 9/1, Landed a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (2¼m, good) in September that produced winners and nothing wrong with a brace of placed efforts since. Likely to be in the mix once again. Has won 3 over hurdles, latest in September; good 2nd latest; acts on good to soft; chance.
5th	14 5th (14) (25/1 -25%) Parish Star	25 25/1(-25%)	(14) Parish Star 25/1, Modest form on the Flat in Ireland and made little impact over hurdles last season. Showed some spark following a wind op when fourth of 15 back from an 8-month break at (2½m, good to soft), finishing under a length adrift of Kingoftheswingerz. More will be needed if she's to take this, though. 12-race maiden; good run when back after wind op when 2nd last time; worth considering.
6th	4 6th (4) (20/1 -82%) Aquitaine Boy	20 20/1(-82%)	(4) Aquitaine Boy 20/1, Little impact in various race-types for James Ewart but, back from nearly 3 years off, he belied odds of 40/1 when making a winning start for this yard in a 15.8f novice here (good) in May. Had fortune on his side that day but it was a significant step forward all the same and he needs considering. Won Southwell maiden hurdle in June (form sound); back up in trip; solid chance.
7th	3 7th (3) (7/2 +65%) Glimpse Of Glory	3.5 7/2(+65%)	(3) Glimpse Of Glory 7/2, Shaped with promise when placed in a couple of juvenile events during the spring, following which he was a good second to a progressive type on handicap debut at Southwell (15.8f, soft) in June. Has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts but it's still early days for this 4-y-o. Considered. Placed in 2 juvenile events and 2nd on h'cap debut but not at his best last twice.
8th	5 8th (5) (12/1 -50%) Kingoftheswingerz	12 12/1(-50%)	(5) Kingoftheswingerz 12/1, Went the wrong way in second half of last season but back on track following a wind op with a tongue strap enlisted when second in a 15-runner Ffos Las handicap (2½m, good to soft) last month. Should be on the premises here, provided he is able to build on that effort. 0-7 over hurdles but good second at Ffos Las on reappearance; should come on for that.
9th	1 9th (1) (6/1 +25%) Let's Sail Away	6 6/1(+25%)	(1) Let's Sail Away 6/1, Winner of sole start between the flags last December. Best effort of his 3 under Rules so far was when fourth of 13 in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f, heavy) but not so good either side of that and his attitude doesn't appear to be all it could be. Step forward needed on this handicap bow. UK point winner; fair form over hurdles; interesting up in trip on handicap debut; player.
10th	11 10th (11) (10/1 +0%) Pacific	10 10/1(+0%)	(11) Pacific 10/1, Showed ability in maiden/novice company and sound start to handicap career when third in 2½m Hereford mares' event on return in October. Failed to build on that at Warwick (2m, good) next time but eased 2 lb since and perhaps worth another chance now that she steps back up in trip. Second in a Stratford novice in June; fair runs in two handicaps since; each-way chance.
11th	2 11th (2) (11/1 +0%) Star Legend	11 11/1(+0%)	(2) Star Legend 11/1, Runner-up twice over hurdles in June and also performed with credit when fourth at Stratford the following month. However, he proved a let-down back hurdling in a Huntingdon selling handicap 3 weeks ago and while this step back up in trip is no bad thing, others make more appeal. Maiden hurdle winner last November; some fair form since; poor run latest; bit to prove.
12th	9 12th (9) (40/1 +0%) Mr Mahler	40 40/1(+0%)	(9) Mr Mahler 40/1, Hasn't cut much ice in 2 starts since switched to handicaps and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Point second in March 2022; not shown much since, including in 2 handicaps; hard to fancy.
13th	10 13th (10) (80/1 -60%) Pop The Question	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Pop The Question 80/1, Winning pointer who caused something of a surprise when making a successful debut under Rules in 2½m Hexham maiden in June. However, that was a weak race and she's had her limitations exposed since. Now tried in a tongue strap. Won maiden point in May and maiden hurdle in June; not done as well since; more needed.
14th	8 14th (8) (40/1 -150%) Military Tycoon	40 40/1(-150%)	(8) Military Tycoon 40/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but below par both starts on the level this year and offered little on last month's reappearance/handicap debut in this sphere. Ex-Hugo Palmer; 1m6f Flat winner; disappointing for this yard and plenty to prove.
15	15 \|PU\| (15) (28/1 +44%) Deal Em High	28 28/1(+44%)	(15) Deal Em High 28/1, Returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap at Bangor (16.7f, good) in September. However, the headgear (on again here) failed to work equally well second time round at Exeter and he is hard to warm to on the back of that. Inconsistent; good third with headgear at Bangor in September but poor run last time.
12	12 \|PU\| (12) (100/1 -52%) Montys Rock	100 100/1(-52%)	(12) Montys Rock 100/1, Reached the frame in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Eoin Doyle but has shown nothing in a trio of handicaps for new connections. Readily passed over. Fair form in Ireland; not shown much in handicaps for new yard and best watched for now.

15:15 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Kingoftheswingerz offered a lot more encouragement when second on his seasonal debut at Ffos Las last month and a 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another good account. That said, there are some interesting handicap debutants that may have his measure in point-to-point winner Let's Sail Away and SKIFFLE MAN, with marginal preference for the latter. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding is a full-brother to the useful stayer Tim Pat and this step up in distance could pay dividends.

It's likely that SKIFFLE MAN will leave his low-key novice efforts well behind now faced with a stiffer test and sent handicapping off an opening mark that probably underestimates him. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. While Aquitaine Boy probably would've finished second had the eventual runner-up not hit the final flight here in May, it was a much-improved effort whichever way you look at it and he is next best ahead of Glimpse of Glory and Pacific.

The lightly raced AQUITAINE BOY (nap) is taken to win his second race here with the step up to 2m4f expected to suit him.

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.
