1st (5) Wilful (4/9 +29%)
Wilful

4/9(+29%)
(5) Wilful 4/9, Progressive winner in bumpers who found only one boasting hurdles experience too good in a Huntingdon maiden (15.8f) 25 days ago, novicey mistakes catching him out. Very much the type to improve and he rates the one to beat.
Bumper winner; clear second on recent hurdling debut; can go one better here.
2
2nd (3) Tea And Chats (5/2 +38%)
Tea And Chats

5/2(+38%)
(3) Tea And Chats 5/2, From a good jumps family and fair form when placed twice in novice hurdles. Hasn't kicked on in handicaps over hurdles/fences more recently so he does need to get back on track returned to smaller obstacles.
Well beaten in first two handicaps (hurdle/chase) but a player on earlier novice form.
3
3rd (2) Stardhem (33/1 -136%)
Stardhem

33/1(-136%)
(2) Stardhem 33/1, Well held only start in bumpers in November and whilst he hinted at ability on hurdles debut at Southwell a month later, he's probably one for handicaps in due course.
Shaped with more promise then eventual 25l defeat might suggest on hurdling debut.
4
4th (4) The Cypriot (14/1 -75%)
The Cypriot

14/1(-75%)
(4) The Cypriot 14/1, Modest form in 2 bumpers but did show more than on hurdles debut when fourth of 9 in an Exeter maiden (16.7f) 3 weeks ago, fading from 3 out. Another likely to do better again when tackling handicaps.
Well beaten on hurdling debut but this month's Exeter fourth was more encouraging.
|PU|
|PU| (1) Always Force It (40/1 -471%)
Always Force It

40/1(-471%)
(1) Always Force It 40/1, Modest form at best over hurdles but shaped well in pair of handicaps at Navan/Downpatrick last summer for Gavin Cromwell. Steps up in trip on debut for new stable with hood enlisted.
Signed off in Ireland with two respectable handicap fifths in the autumn; a possible.

13:57 Fontwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

WILFUL should have learned plenty from his hurdles bow when a close-up second at Huntingdon earlier in the month. That experience will stand him in good stead and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to shed his maiden tag in this discipline. Tea And Chats shaped better than the beaten distance over fences at Lingfield suggests. He should prove far more competitive on this switch to timber and is feared most, ahead of stable debutant Always Force It.

A progressive winner in bumpers, WILFUL was found out by novicey mistakes but still shaped promisingly when runner-up on hurdles debut at Huntingdon 25 days ago and this looks a good opportunity for Jonjo O'Neill's 5-y-o with improvement anticipated. Tea And Chats rates the main danger on the pick of his form.

This looks good for Catterick bumper winner WILFUL, who was a clear second on this month's hurdling debut.

Rattling Road

4/1(+60%)
(10) Rattling Road 4/1, £40,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in April 2022. Has shown promise both hurdling runs, fifth of 12 in 2m1f novice at Carlisle on latter occasion. Can do better still.
Irish point winner; fifth in two novice hurdles, latest over 2m1f at Carlisle; chance.

4th (8) L'allier (66/1 -560%)
L'allier

66/1(-560%)
(8) L'allier 66/1, Debut fifth in bumper for Gavin Cromwell last summer. Offered little in similar company on sole run for Christine Dunnett but came in fourth of 10 in novice at Huntingdon (15.8f, heavy, 100/1) on hurdles bow 25 days ago. Needs to build on it.
Modest in two bumpers; better run when 4th on stable/hurdles debut; worth considering.
5th
5th (11) Sovereign Star (25/1 -213%)
Sovereign Star

25/1(-213%)
(11) Sovereign Star 25/1, Placed in Irish points back in 2022 but too free when last of 6 in bumper at Ayr (16f, heavy) on NH debut 31 days ago. Makes hurdles debut. Remains with potential though.
Placed in two Irish points but last in an Ayr bumper on stable debut; more needed.

(15) Lillistar 200/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) for Harry & Roger Charlton but well held over hurdles at Wetherby and Newcastle this year. Lots more is required.
Modest Flat performer; needs to improve on his two runs over hurdles to get involved.
8th
8th (12) The Best Way (22/1 -57%)
The Best Way

22/1(-57%)
(12) The Best Way 22/1, Promising bumper fourth in spring 2022. Looks to be being brought along steadily in this sphere, fourth of 6 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, heavy) 31 days ago when not knocked about. Sort to do better in the longer term.
Better of two runs over hurdles when fourth at Ayr last month; each-way contender.
9th
9th (7) Jysuis (100/1 +0%)
Jysuis

100/1(+0%)
(7) Jysuis 100/1, Fair form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers in France. 150/1, tenth of 11 in novice hurdle at Doncaster (19.4f, good to soft) on UK debut 60 days ago.
Placed in three bumpers in France; tailed off on hurdle/stable debut; needs to improve.
10th
10th (1) Aldbourne (50/1 -257%)
Aldbourne

(1) Aldbourne 50/1, Fair winner at 10f on Flat. Sixth of 10 in novice hurdle (50/1) at Ayr (16f, good to soft) 20 days ago, not knocked about. Can do better in due course.
Dual 1m2f Flat winner in 2022; some promise in two runs over hurdles; improvement needed.
11th
11th (5) Haarar (28/1 -40%)
Haarar

28/1(-40%)
(5) Haarar 28/1, Fairly useful 13f Flat winner for Michael Bell. Can't be ruled out now going hurdling for shrewd connections.
Dual Flat winner who was bought for 6,000gns in October; probably best watched this time.
12th
12th (14) Cosmic Soul (100/1 -203%)
Cosmic Soul

100/1(-203%)
(14) Cosmic Soul 100/1, Fair maiden on Flat for James Horton. Has failed to beat a rival in Cheltenham Grade 2 and Market Rasen juvenile in this sphere though.
Quite useful on the Flat; well beaten over hurdles so far but a likely improver.
13th
13th (3) Forest Blaze (100/1 -300%)
Forest Blaze

(3) Forest Blaze 100/1, Fourth of 12 in bumper (15/2) at Newcastle (16.9f, heavy) on NH debut 23 days ago. Much respectd on his hurdles debut.
15-2 when 33l fourth in a Newcastle bumper on debut (2m1f, heavy); more needed.

1m6f AW Flat winner; good second at Carlisle on hurdles debut; improvement likely; chance.

14:10 Wetherby Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Representing the in-form Mark Walford yard, GOLDWYN posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up at Newcastle last month. A similar performance may prove sufficient for the seven-year-old in this weaker-looking affair, with the main threat possibly coming in the shape of Breizh River, who has 6lb to find with the selection on the ratings but further improvement cannot be ruled out. Bodygroove and Rattling Road are also worth a second look.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest and Mark Walford's fairly useful GOLDWYN looks to have been found a very good opportunity to open his account. Breizh River is another with some solid form to his name and next on the list. Bodygroove also enters calculations if, as expected, building on his Carlisle debut second.

The vote goes to the ex-Irish GOLDWYN, who has run two sound races since joining Mark Walford. Bodygroove may chase him home.

1st (1) Dreaming Blue (2/1 -23%)
Dreaming Blue

2/1(-23%)
(1) Dreaming Blue 2/1, Third over extended 25f at Ludlow in December, his stamina ebbing away late on. Has shaped as if still in form both starts since and back to last winning mark, so makes plenty of appeal with promising conditional on board.
Third when ridden very positively over 2m4f in new blinkers last month; drops back in trip.
2
2nd (5) Valirann Gold (5/2 +44%)
Valirann Gold

5/2(+44%)
(5) Valirann Gold 5/2, Bounced back to something like his best to open his account for the season here in February and shaped as if still in form when third at Chepstow since. Not without a chance.
Course winner in February but safely held twice off today's mark this month.
3
3rd (6) Clondaw Robin (28/1 -75%)
Clondaw Robin

28/1(-75%)
(6) Clondaw Robin 28/1, Still winless over fences and not at best when only fourth at Plumpton 31 days ago. Up against it from out of the weights.
Unlucky not to win two starts ago but struggled last time and is 9lb wrong today.
4
4th (2) Copper Cove (5/4 +29%)
Copper Cove

5/4(+29%)
(2) Copper Cove 5/4, Bumper winner who improved when opening his hurdles account at the seventh attempt here in February. Good effort at Lingfield next time and obvious claims if he can prove he's as good over fences (well held on chase bow last spring).
Not yet proven over fences but in good form over hurdles on slow ground this year.

14:32 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Copper Cove has been in fine fettle over hurdles in recent months and warrants consideration on this second attempt at the larger obstacles. However, it could be worth taking a chance on DREAMING BLUE, who travelled with more verve in first-time blinkers when third at Wincanton. The seven-year-old faded on the run-in that day so this ease in distance looks ideal. Valirann Gold can beat Clondaw Robin to third spot.

DREAMING BLUE has been shaping better than the result and may find everything clicking now with Freddie Gingell up for the first time. He's preferred to Copper Cove, who is well treated based on hurdling form.

Topweight DREAMING BLUE (nap) may benefit from today's drop back in trip and is selected in the hope he dominates from the front.

1st (1) Art Of Diplomacy (6/1 -100%)
Art Of Diplomacy

6/1(-100%)
(1) Art Of Diplomacy 6/1, Fair Flat winner who made a bright start over hurdles for Dr Newland during 2021/22 season, winning twice and filling runners-up spot on 3 occasions either side of those victories. 2-year absence to overcome here but he's certainly a player if ready to roll down in grade.
Quite a useful staying hurdle two seasons ago; back from a long break; interesting.

Made For You

7/4(+22%)
(4) Made For You 7/4, Fairly useful handicap hurdler who ran well when third of 6 in handicap at Leicester (15.5f) in January. Subsequent Sandown run was a lesser display but return to further/drop in class won't inconvenience him and better anticipated with blinkers refitted.
Fair third in 2m h'cap in November; stays this trip; blinkers back on; a possible.
3
3rd (5) Marshalled (7/2 -17%)
Marshalled

7/2(-17%)
(5) Marshalled 7/2, Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and better than ever when doubling tally over fences for new yard at Cartmel (21f) in August. Pair of chase efforts since turn of the year have lacked same spark but no forlorn hope back over hurdles/eased in grade.
Better over fences, last win being in a h'cap chase in August; best form on faster ground.
4
4th (3) Foveros (2/1 +27%)
Foveros

2/1(+27%)
(3) Foveros 2/1, Mixed record for Willie Mullins but seems to be finding his feet for new yard, again finding only one too good in 6-runner Catterick claimer (15.7f) 3 weeks ago. Should give another good account back up in trip.
Ex-Mullins; not the force of old; fair runs in claimers last twice; lacks a recent win.

0-11 but decent second at Uttoxeter in November; down in grade with tongue-tie tried.

14:45 Wetherby Selling Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Although Marshalled arrives as the highest-rated contender in this selling event, he hasn't been seen over hurdles since June 2022. His two performances over fences this year have lacked spark so it may be worth taking a chance on MADE FOR YOU instead. Olly Murphy's charge is capable on his day and a return to this stiffer test of stamina could be enough for him to land the spoils. Foveros arrives in good heart and is a viable alternative.

MADE FOR YOU needs to shrug off a lesser effort at Sandown on his latest outing but the step back up in trip/ease in class are both positives and he could be the answer with the refitting of blinkers also likely to put an extra edge on him. Art of Diplomacy is another to consider despite a lengthy absence to overcome. Foveros completes the shortlist.

This can go to MADE FOR YOU, who handles these conditions and hails from a stable with a good record in sellers.

Ex-Irish 8yo who is 2-4 for Jonjo O'Neill this season; could still have more to offer.

17/2(-183%)

Not at best last time but ran well on slow ground in February and current mark is workable.

Seems badly to have lost his way in recent months; big leap of faith required to support.

15:07 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

Although HE'S A LATCHICO must put a disappointing sixth here behind him, his previous runner-up effort at Lingfield still reads well. Gary Moore's inmate could be freshened up by a 43-day break and it's too soon to be writing him off. The biggest threat may emerge from Getaway Drumlee, who found only a well-supported stablemate too strong on his handicap bow at Doncaster, on his return from the sidelines. Royal Rhythm makes most appeal of the remainder.

HE'S A LATCHICO is best not treated on his latest effort and he'd been going the right way previously, so he can prove that he's still comfortably ahead of his mark in this sphere. Royal Rhythm looks a solid alternative and Getaway Drumlee can feature if he steps up on a promising return.

The one with most potential is GETAWAY DRUMLEE, who was second off today's mark on last month's belated seasonal/handicap debut.

Sedgefield winner in November; well below par last twice; others appeal more.

Tough; fair third on soft over 2m3f here last time; ideally needs faster ground.

Booked for third when coming down late at Sedgefield since but can feature with a hood reapplied.

Placed both starts over fences in the summer of 2022; off since; may need the run.

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

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

ROYAL MER relished the drop in distance when regaining the winning thread over 2m at Leicester. A 6lb rise looks far from insurmountable and a fourth victory of the season could beckon. Although beaten when coming to grief at Sedgefield, Harel Du Marais performed with enough credit to suggest that he can pose a danger in this event. He may give the selection most to think about, ahead of C&D scorer Beat The Edge.

HAREL DU MARAIS produced a promising first effort over the larger obstacles when fourth at Leicester in January so, provided he's none the worse for his last fence fall at Sedgefield last time, Mark Walford's 7-y-o can come out on top at the expense of fellow grey Royal Mer, who has enjoyed a productive campaign and has a career-high mark to overcome as a result. Previous C&D winner Beat The Edge comes with risks attached but he can fill out third.

The in-form Royal Mer should go well but preference is for last year's winner BEAT THE EDGE, who is well handicapped at present.

Lightly raced 5yo; one to watch in betting but needs sizeable step forward in second h'cap.

15:42 Fontwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 22f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to IN D'OR, who is 5lb well-in under a penalty having bolted up at Ludlow a week ago. Venetia Williams' charge has few miles on the clock and this looks a good opportunity to double his tally. Aworkinprogress failed to get involved over 2m at Plumpton, but is worth a second look now upped in trip. Ask Lileen, who defeated Grade 1 winner Apple Away in a point-to-point in February 2022, makes significant appeal now pitched into a handicap.

IN D'OR came home well clear at Ludlow last week despite all but coming down at the last and he's fancied to follow up under a penalty. Ask Lilleen and Aworkinprogress are perhaps the most interesting opponents, possible that both have yet to fully reveal all they are capable of.

Having won with plenty in hand at Ludlow last Thursday, IN D'OR is ahead of the handicapper under a 7lb penalty and can follow up.

(11) Montregard 13/2, Opened his account at the second attempt in a novice at Warwick around this time last year. Made mistakes when only sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle 96 days ago but cheekpieces on and could make an impact if cutting out the errors.

15:55 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

A faller at the last when leading in a novice hurdle here over the extended 2m3f last month, WILLSBURG now moves in the handicap ranks and is taken to overturn form with the arguably fortuitous winner Magical King on 4lb better terms. Stepping up in trip is another plus and it may be that the class-dropping Yes Day and Newbury winner Knowwhentoholdem give him the most to think about. Good Look Charm and Idem are plenty capable on their day as well.

KNOWWHENTOHOLDEM improved to score readily against more exposed types at Newbury last time and he's joined an in-form yard since, so he gets the nod over Yes Day, who looks sure to give another good account. Willsburg also warrants a mention.

Preference is for AL KALILA, an unexposed 5yo who is open to improvement on his handicap debut. Knowwhentoholdem is a danger.

16:17 Fontwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

Things seem to have clicked into place for LIGHTONTHEWING of late and he arrives having notched up back-to-back victories. The nine-year-old was far too strong at Exeter last week and a 7lb penalty, which means he is still 4lb well-in, might not stop him from landing the hat-trick. Captain Claude is also 4lb well-in having occupied the runner-up spot in a Wincanton race that couldn't be working out any better. Leading Swoop has plenty of scope for improvement over the larger obstacles and may improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces.

CAPTAIN CLAUDE was surrounded by subsequent winners when runner-up at Wincanton 6 weeks ago so must have a big chance back down in class with his good record here an additional plus. The thriving Lightonthewing is the obvious danger.

Lightonthewing bolted up last week but narrow preference is for CAPTAIN CLAUDE, who won here on his first two chase starts.

16:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

JEANS MAITE wasn't for catching from the front over C&D last time out and a 3lb rise may underestimate Roy Bowring's charge as she looks to notch up a ninth career success. The selection goes particularly well at this track and she should have too much for The Defiant, who bounced back to winning ways at Chelmsford earlier in the month. Darlo Pride and C&D winner Sir Benedict are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

THE DEFIANT justified good support at Chelmsford last time and, with Oisin Murphy booked, he's worth a chance to follow up from what still appears to be a feasible mark. Jeans Maite is a definite threat after making all here 8 days ago and Darlo Pride should be on the premises once more.

Wedgewood offered hope of a full revival last week but CATCH CUNNINGHAM can build on the promise of last month's stable debut.

16:30 Wetherby Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to look past IMPERIAL ALEX, who deservedly got off the mark over fences with an imperious display at Chepstow. Tom Lacey's charge continues to improve and is 5lb well-in under his penalty so is readily preferred to Taste The Fear, who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, although he has shown very little of late. The unexposed Pats Dream would have claims if bouncing back to the form of his third at Kelso in October.

Having finished runner-up on his previous 4 starts, IMPERIAL ALEX opened his chase account with a wide-margin victory at Chepstow 11 days ago and he holds leading claims under a penalty. Taste The Fear could be the be one to give the selection most to think about back up in trip, ahead of Pats Dream.

The Tom Lacey-trained IMPERIAL ALEX deservedly got off the mark over fences in fine style at Chepstow, and he can defy a 7lb penalty.

16:52 Fontwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Electric Mason must saddle a penalty having struck at Kempton last month but he still merits respect, as does Lightning Maqueen, who finished a creditable third at the Sunbury circuit just 12 days ago. However, preference is for TWIN EARTH. Archie Watson has his team in flying form and his representative, who made a pleasing debut when third at Hereford, can put that initial experience to good use.

Gary Moore has an excellent record in this and his Jack Hobbs gelding LIGHTNING MAQUEEN is taken to build on earlier promise and get off the mark at the chief expense of unraced-stablemate Pearl's Pirate. Electric Mason, Laurens Bay and Twin Earth are others who can have a say in an intriguing bumper.

Kempton winner ELECTRIC MASON has a penalty to carry here but the form of his Ascot third in November suggests he's up to the task.

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

This can go the way of TRADESMAN, who should be well suited by dropping back in trip having won two of his last three starts over this distance. The form of his stable is another plus and, off a mark of 75, he is narrowly preferred to the class-dropping Artisan Dancer, who also has a very consistent record over the trip. Chaos Control spent all of last year over hurdles and must be noted on his return to the level.

ARTISAN DANCER has been holding form well and could be marked up above the result slightly last time, so he makes most appeal in a tricky staying event. Wonderful Eagle is of note making his Flat debut for this stable and the in-form Tradesman is unlikely to be far away.

Chaos Control is interesting back on the Flat but EVENING STORY could have more to give now her stamina is being more fully tested.

Patchy profile but odd sign of promise & could improve for last month's return from break.

17:05 Wetherby Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

KINDER KID was an impressive winner over C&D nine days ago, when stepped up to 3m for the first time. With further improvement to come over this staying trip, he is fancied to defy the penalty en route to further success. It's Maisy found just one too strong when going in search of her hat-trick at Southwell last month and she merits respect from an unchanged mark, while Asa is one to look out for on her second start following wind surgery.

KINDER KID was well suited by the step up to 3m when opening his account in ready fashion over C&D last week and is fully expected to follow up under a penalty. It's Maisy should continue in form, while Just In A Bit shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Hereford and may have benefited from a breathing operation.

The unexposed 6yo KINDER KID (nap) relished the step up in trip when winning by 7l over C&D and can follow up under a penalty.

17:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

A well-bred son of Frankel and brother to Fillies' Mile winner Quadrilateral, CADOGAN PLACE should relish this trip on debut, and he is fancied to come out on top for his in-form connections. Related to a Listed winner of Pat Twomey's over further, Hidden Law is another to note first time out, likewise Grebastarky being a half-brother to the talented Watch Me. Of the two with experience, Infatuator stands out after a promising second on debut at Newcastle.

A host of choicely-bred newcomers from top yards in this small-field affair, with HIDDEN LAW given preference over Grebastarky without the benefit of market clues. Cadogan Place is another worth monitoring in the betting, whilst Infatuator, one of 2 in the line-up with previous form, looks sure to improve on his encouraging debut second at Newcastle earlier this month.

Some well-related newcomers are on show and CADOGAN PLACE is tentatively preferred to Grebastarky and Hidden Law.

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

Olly Murphy often does well in these types of contests and DANGEROUS TOUCH, who was picked up for 135,000 pounds at the sales in December having struck the woodwork in a Ballindenisk point-to-point, could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. Martin Plage has shown promise on both of his starts under Rules and must feature prominently in calculations, while others to note include Jeune Prince, Seek Him There and Stress Reaction.

DANGEROUS TOUCH was sold for a tidy sum after going close in an Irish point in December so he's taken to make a winning start for a yard that has a good record in bumpers. Martin Plage is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his Cheltenham debut so is next best ahead of Jeune Prince, who showed plenty to work on at Carlisle.

Point runner-up DANGEROUS TOUCH is taken to make a winning start for Olly Murphy, having changed hands for £135,000.

18:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Suspicion confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when getting off the mark over a mile at Kempton last month. Ollie Sangster's colt has to be of interest on the back of that effort, but he may struggle to give 6lb to VIBRATO. The son of No Nay Never was back in fourth when making his debut on that occasion and, with that run under his belt, he may be able to reverse the form on these terms. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but King's Fountain is the pick of them.

SUSPICION looked a good prospect when going in at Kempton last time and is fancied to make light of his 6 lb penalty at the chief expense of Vibrato, who made an encouraging start when fourth to Ollie Sangster's colt that day and can build on it now. King's Fountain appeals as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

King's Fountain's debut promise isn't forgotten but the race-fit SUSPICION can take another step forward from his Kempton win.

LOUGH LEANE arrives here on the back of four wins this year and a 6lb higher mark than the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him here.

Racing Demon is interesting on his return with Oisin Murphy doing the steering.

LOUGH LEANE continues to progress this year and is respected in his bid for the 5-timer, with Soames Forsyte and Win Win Power completing the shortlist.

Win Win Power has a fine C&D record but LOUGH LEANE is 4lb well in for his recent Wolverhampton win and he is the one to beat.

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

King Of York has been running consistently well this year and has to be on the shortlist following his 7f success here last week. However, marginal preference is for GREAT BLASKET, who has been running well in defeat of late and the application of first-time blinkers could bring about further improvement. Turbo Command edges out Big Narstie to be best of the rest.

A new addition to the Ruth Carr yard, RETRACTION shaped most encouragingly on his all-weather/handicap debut here earlier in the month and a chance is taken he'll step forward again with a recent run now under his belt. Last-time-out winner King of York and Landlordtothestars have both proved most consistent throughout the winter and make plenty of appeal again.

Lightly raced RETRACTION ran promisingly on his handicap debut here and should come on for the run. Landlordtothestars is next best.

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SILVER TRUMPET stripped fitter for his reappearance fourth at Lingfield when running out a game winner on his second start in a handicap over 7f at Kempton last month. Nudged up just 2lb, the suspicion is that there is more winning to be done before the handicapper has his measure. Dangers are aplenty and headed by Super Hit, who was turned over at short odds at Wolverhampton last month, but this drop to 7f can help him settle better in the early exchanges. Yaajooz is another to bear in mind.

YAAJOOZ made a promising start to life with George Boughey when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time out and with improvement very much on the cards he can go one better off the same mark. Super Hit wasn't seen to best effect when fourth at the same track and could emerge as the chief threat ahead of in-form Silver Trumpet.

A competitive race of its type but the claims of YAAJOOZ (nap) seem particularly compelling. Berry Clever may be the main threat.

(10) Em Jay Kay 22/1, C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Eighth of 9 in handicap (5/1) at this C&D 63 days ago, trapped wide with no cover and unable to land a blow. Better showing anticipated eased 2 lb.
Absent since a disappointing C&D run nine weeks ago; usually seen in a lower grade.

Temple Bruer

15/2(+0%)
(3) Temple Bruer 15/2, 5-time winner for present yard, his latest success coming at Newmarket (6f) last June. Mixed bag on turf/AW followed but he's fallen back down to an attractive mark. Cheekpieces replace blinkers for return.
Returns from an absence on a more suitable mark; betting should be instructive.

11/1(-22%)
(9) Dandys Derriere 11/1, Three wins from 11 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in December. 9/1, respectable 2 lengths third of 8 to Westmorian in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 20 days ago. Should go well again.
He's run well in defeat following a 6f Wolverhampton win in December; in the mix again.

(7) Miss Bella Brand 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Kempton in November. 28/1, last of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 87 days ago, losing place over 1f out. Others make greater appeal even allowing for the ease back down in grade.
Eight-time winner; this is easier than latest assignment but she'll need to be at her best.

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

GLAMOROUS EXPRESS scored with the minimum of fuss over 6f at Newcastle last week, and he can make light work of a 5lb penalty to bring up a March hat-trick. Westmorian arrives on the back of an excellent second over C&D earlier this month and he rates as the main danger to the selection off a 5lb higher mark, while the consistent One More Dream shaped as if this drop back to 6f will suit when finishing fourth over 7f at Newcastle latest.

A wide-open sprint handicap and with that in mind it could be worth chancing TEMPLE BRUER. A 5-time winner for his present yard, he returns from 5 months off on an appealing mark judged on the pick of his early-season form from this time last year and a headgear switch could also put an extra edge on him. Glamorous Express and Westmorian both arrive in good order and hold sound claims, as does One More Dream for all his mark has crept up again.

Glamorous Express is feared in his hat-trick bid but DIGITAL may be able to make a winning start for his new stable.

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with CLIPSHAM LA HABANA, but it might just pay to do so. He weakened into third in a similar contest over C&D on his penultimate start, prior to finishing fifth most recently, but, sporting headgear for the first time off his lowest mark since 2022, he can get his head in front. Tyke finished last over 5f at Newcastle earlier this month, but he is the type to bounce back and is respected now over 6f, while Many A Star has been plying his trade in Dubai this winter and commands attention back on home soil.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES caught the eye when third at Wolverhampton when last seen in November so he could be the answer (can go well fresh). Tyke is expected to bounce back quickly returned to a track he goes well at, while the selection's stablemate Bicep is also worth considering.

The return to Southwell could reinvigorate TYKE who brings a strong C&D record into the race. Showtime Mahomes can chase him home.
