LTO Selection:

11:02 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Fieldsman had Liv Lucky (second) and Stoic Syd (third) behind when going in by a length over C&D on his latest outing and the veteran is fancied to confirm that form. However, preference is for DAAFY, who put in a much improved display to fill the runner-up spot over a mile here last week and remains on the same mark. The seven-year-old is still feasibly treated and can go one better. Fircombe Hall completes the shortlist.

A competitive opener in which the suggestion is BRAVE DISPLAY, who has been knocking on the door lately and can deservedly get his head in front. Recent C&D scorer Fieldsman, Fircombe Hall, the mount of Hollie Doyle, and last year's winner Kodebreaker head the dangers.

Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to last year's winner KODEBREAKER, who was an eyecatching third at Wolverhampton last time.

15,000gns yearling; dam bred four winners; has a fair standard to aim at on debut.
LTO Selection:

11:32 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jackson Street sets a fair standard after only being denied by a neck at Wolverhampton. He is likely to be bang there again but a chance can be taken on newcomer SOLOMON, who changed hands for 130,000 euros at the breeze-ups last year. The son of Siyouni is out of a Group 1 winner and is a half-brother to Melbourne Cup runner-up Soulcombe. Any market support for Queen Of Zafeen would also be of interest on her debut.

JACKSON STREET just failed at Wolverhampton last time and looks the way to go ahead of newcomer Solomon and Regimental Code.

Regimental Code has a big run in him dropped to 7f but JACKSON STREET has nothing to prove regarding conditions and is preferred.

LTO Selection:

12:02 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

BIG ZOU has produced two very solid efforts so far, including his half-length third over this trip at Lingfield last time, and he definitely looks to be going the right way. The son of Zoustar seems to have been found a good opportunity and is well drawn. Sovereign Knight was one place behind the selection on his debut and could take a step forward, while Perfectly Timed is an interesting newcomer to watch in the market.

BIG ZOU has shown promise on his 2 starts and is taken to strike at the third time of asking. Archie Watson newcomer Perfectly Timed would rate a threat if the betting speaks in his favour. Sovereign Knight, the mount of Tom Marquand, and Irish raider Gesture are others to consider.

With improvement on the cards, SOVEREIGN KNIGHT could well reverse Lingfield placings with Big Zou who is still respected.

Ties in closely with Belcamo on Kempton running; place possibilities.
LTO Selection:

12:37 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

There would be few more deserving winners than Character Testing, who has occupied the runner-up spot on all four of his career starts. He might have to settle for minor honours once more, though, with preference for IFFRAAJ QUEEN. Amy Murphy's filly belied odds of 66/1 when a close-up second at Kempton in November, with the winner going on to run well under a penalty next time. Clear Storm made the frame at Lingfield recently and a similar effort would give her every chance.

BELCAMO caught the eye first time out and was possibly unsuited by the track at Lingfield a month ago, so he may well be able to take a sizeable step forward this time. He's marginally preferred to Character Testing, who sets the standard, while Royal Praise strikes as an interesting newcomer.

This may well be the day that CHARACTER TESTING cures his seconditis and goes one better. Clear Storm is second choice.

This surface is an unknown and the drop back to 1m4f looks another negative.
LTO Selection:

13:12 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

HAKU denied Nolton Cross in the dying strides at Wolverhampton last month and although the latter is marginally better off at the weights, Mark Loughnane's charge could be given an added boost by the application of first-time cheekpieces. Heathen is 2lb well-in having been narrowly denied over C&D last week. He merits the utmost respect, along with Valsad, who receives a welcome drop in class on his first appearance for the Jamie Osborne yard.

HEATHEN has been well and truly revitalised by the switch to David O'Meara and can gain compensation for last Friday's near miss over C&D. Last month's Wolverhampton 1-2 Haku and Nolton Cross may give him most to do.

Being 2lb ahead of the assessor, HEATHEN holds particularly strong claims. Nolton Cross is feared most.

Gives the impression he'll improve for this new trip; not dismissed.
LTO Selection:

13:47 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Each of these must prove their stamina over this new trip, so only a tentative vote can go to IT'S NOT RISKY. Hugo Palmer's charge looked outpaced when finishing fourth over 1m2f at Lingfield just before Christmas but there are reasons to be hopeful that this extra furlong, and perhaps further in time, can bring out the best in him. Freds Mate finished a place behind him that day and must enter calculations, along with the consistent Rich Harry.

RICH HARRY caught the eye on his handicap debut when third at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago so gets the vote racing off the same mark. Freds Mate looked unsuited by the track at Lingfield last time so is expected to be the main threat.

The only runner with winning form is FREDS MATE, who may be the answer. Rich Harry is second choice.

LTO Selection:

14:22 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Although DOCTOR MOZART was unable to supplement his Wolverhampton victory, he lost little in defeat when third at Newcastle just six days later. Philip Kirby's four-year-old enjoys a 1lb drop in the ratings here and he's taken to regain the winning thread. Stallone was narrowly ahead of the selection last time out so must enter calculations, with Glorious Rio making most appeal of the remainder.

DOCTOR MOZART arrives in top form and this isn't a strong race so he's worth a chance to resume winning ways at the possible expense of Stallone, who was runner-up at Newcastle last time. Man On A Mission is another one to consider.

The verdict goes to MAN ON A MISSION (nap) who was in fine form this time last year and figures on a handy mark again.

LTO Selection:

14:57 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Katar has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to give another good account of himself. However, he is likely to be priced accordingly and it may pay to take a chance on SHE'S THE DANGER. The Roy Bowring-trained top-weight takes a marked drop in trip, but the fitting of a first-time tongue-tie and visor could draw enough improvement from her to get back on the scoresheet. Teresa Grace and Arzaak also warrant a second look.

KATAR has been knocking on the door for a while and this race lacks depth, so he's worth a chance to finally break his duck for all that Teresa Grace looks well handicapped if able to back up her latest effort. She's The Danger is also worthy of consideration.

He's a longstanding maiden but KATAR has been in good form at Wolverhampton and he ran well on his last visit here.

LTO Selection:

15:32 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

TURNER GIRL likely found the drop to 1m2f against her at Chelmsford, but she ran with credit to finish a never-nearer third. A return to this distance should see Ed Dunlop's mare in a much better light and she looks the one to beat. Although De Vega's Warrior hasn't managed to get his head in front yet, the application of first-time blinkers may bring out the best in him. The five-year-old is feared most, ahead of the unexposed Barrel Aged.

ROCK CHANT has dipped below his last winning mark and shaped well over an inadequate trip after 4 months off at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago, suggesting he's ready to strike. Barrel Aged was a good second on his handicap bow over C&D last month and should have more to offer over this longer trip, so is next best ahead of the rather frustrating De Vega's Warrior.

It would be hard to describe TURNER GIRL as well handicapped but she's a punters' pal for consistency.

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.
