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

Simon Walker is usually a jockey in high demand for races of this nature and again appears to have picked up a plum ride, with the in-form SOL CAYO holding a major chance in this company. The Fionn McSharry-trained gelding is already a dual winner on Tapeta and can enhance the haul with today's additional yardage a potential source for improvement. Annandale and Fast Fred, who sports first-time cheekpieces, can give the selection the most to think about.

GAASSEE cemented the positive start made for his new yard when runner-up in a stronger contest at Kempton on Wednesday and, in the hope this doesn't come too quick, he could be worth siding with having fallen to a good mark. Schmilsson is an interesting runner returned to the level and heads up the dangers, along with Sol Cayo and Fast Fred.

Preference is for FAST FRED who completed a hat-trick in the autumn and lost little in defeat when third of ten here last month.

17:15 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SOLARIZE, a half-brother to the classy Hamada, is an interesting runner for the Charlie Johnston yard to introduce at this time of year and, given those with experience are nothing out of the ordinary, he looks to have been found a winnable opportunity. Regal Accord and Godstone are a couple of other newcomers to monitor in the betting, while the once-raced Tapis Rouge appeals most from the remainder.

A good chance this will go to one of the newcomers, with SOLARIZE chanced over Godstone, Queen Cody and Regal Accord before any betting clues.

Not much to go on and this could fall the way of QUEEN CODY, who has winners in her pedigree and the assistance of a good claimer.

From a rating of 80, INVITED sets the standard and, having run with credit to finish second over 7f here 10 days ago, the son of Kodiac is an attractive proposition with that reappearance run entitled to have brought him on. That is not to underestimate Wanderlust and San Juanito, both of whom are potential improvers on their final qualifying run for a handicap mark.

INVITED did very little wrong when narrowly beaten here 10 days ago and has every chance of going one better on his first try at a mile. San Juanito will find the extra furlong in his favour and he's the main danger ahead of Wanderlust who can hit the frame again.

Everything points to a big run from SAN JUANITO, who turned in an improved effort last time and should be suited by this trip.

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

Blinkers have really helped STAR PUPIL, who won with the ease his odds of 1/2 suggested he would over this trip at Chelmsford last week. With scope for further progress, a 5lb penalty may not be enough to halt him. Also carrying a 5lb penalty is Soames Forsyte, a good winner over C&D 10 days ago whose confirmed liking for this venue makes him a big threat. Profitman has been running well in defeat since his Chelmsford success in early December.

PROFITMAN was arguably unlucky not to notch another win on the AW last week and he can make amends here under the excellent handling of Billy Loughnane. Drawn in stall 1, he should get a nice toe into the race from chief danger Star Pupil (drawn in stall 2) who should race prominently and make a bold bid to defy a 5 lb penalty. Of the others, recent C&D winner Soames Forsyte should be competitive again, along with Rich Rhythm who took a step in the right direction last time.

This could go to RICH RHYTHM (nap), who ran well on his second outing following a lengthy break last time, a race that threw up winners.

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

Many A Star accounted for Bulldog Drummond (third) when scoring at Wolverhampton before a good effort under a penalty at Lingfield last Saturday, which he must carry again but remains a big player. However, it could pay to side with LIR SPECIALE, who continues to slide down the ratings and is now 11lb below his last winning mark from May 2023. Judged on his near-miss off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month, a break and stable switch may have done Minnesota Lad some good and he could improve for that.

MINNESOTA LAD made a solid start for his new yard after 3 months off when runner-up at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago and he's given the narrow vote to build on that here. Ormolulu, returned to sprinting, and Many A Star are others to consider, whilst low-mileage 4-y-o Filly One appeals as the type who can do better, too.

In a competitive handicap MINNESOTA LAD is the suggestion. He ran well on his first run for the yard last time, form that worked out.

BIG BARD carries a 4lb penalty for his victory at Kempton, but he has scored off a higher mark on turf in the past and the manner in which he powered home to win well last week suggests a bold follow-up bid is on the cards. Serious dangers abound in the shape of Bomb Squad, who narrowly missed out on a three-timer over C&D nine days ago, and the hat-trick seeking Back Tomorrow, who has a 5lb penalty to defy.

A host of in-form sorts in opposition with the vote in favour of BACK TOMORROW. She lines up here having landed back-to-back contests at Wolverhampton and, remaining with handicapping scope on last winter's form, she's a big player in search of the hat-trick. Kempton-scorer Big Bard, the dangerously well-treated Cooperation and thriving Bomb Squad complete the shortlist.

This can go to BOMB SQUAD, who has been in good form and is on the same mark as when touched off over C&D last week

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

Placed on both of his starts here since joining new connections, including a close second over C&D last week, MIGGY MAGIC sets the standard on recent form and he is taken to get off the mark at the ninth time asking. That may be at the main expense of Classy Clarets, who would hold every chance if bouncing back to the form of his success at Wolverhampton off 3lb lower last month. Castan has dropped to a mark 11lb lower than his last victory and he could be thereabouts as well.

CLASSY CLARETS was too free at Wolverhampton recently, but dropping back to the minimum trip could be just what the doctor ordered and he earns the vote. Castan will be a threat if taking well to the cheekpieces and he is second choice ahead of Nelson Gay and Miggy Magic.

The drop back to 5f and the booking of Billy Loughnane look significant for NELSON GAY and the 7yo can break a losing run.

CARLTON has been a revelation since joining the James Owen stable, winning four on the bounce over this trip at Chelmsford, and a five-timer looks like a distinct possibility for the son of Frankel. A 5lb rise for his most recent success appears manageable, and it may be another in-form stayer in shape of Alfheim who follows him home, with the latter scoring on her last three starts at Wolverhampton. Currumbin and Val Bassett can also have a say.

CARLTON is proving to be a difficult one for the handicapper to nail, winning four times at Chelmsford since the middle of last month. He's gone up 5 lb for his latest success but the suspicion remains that there is more in the locker and he is taken to complete the five-timer. Alfheim also arrives here on the up having completed the hat-trick with two of these rivals behind at Wolverhampton recently and she is feared most. Currumbin completes the shortlist.

The choice is SWINGING LONDON who has winning form over C&D and shaped here last week as though the return to this trip would suit.

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.
