16:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Musical Touch just about sets the standard from those with previous experience but the form is modest and this might go the way of one of the newcomers. Cuban Tiger looks the part on paper and enter calculations starting out for a highly respected yard. However, WINTER WAR has synthetics winners in his pedigree and he shades the vote, with his stable having already enjoyed a profitable start to the new year.

An interesting novice for the time of the year with several interesting newcomers in opposition, including WINTER WAR. He makes plenty of appeal on paper for a yard amongst the winners and could be the way to go without the benefit of market clues. Cuban Tiger is interestin, too. Chelmsford eye-catcher Alfa Kelllenic completes the shortlist.

Preference is for MUSICAL TOUCH who looks the type to get better with racing and shaped nicely at Wolverhampton last time.

16:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Artistic Mission was a respectable second to a bright prospect over 7f here last month and is noteworthy with a visor now tried as he drops in trip. Novarro, who cost 110,000gns as a yearling, boasts a solid pedigree and is another to note in the betting. However, ROMAN EMPEROR, a half-brother to a winner over this distance, ran a blinder when second on his all-weather debut last month and could be hard to beat with another step forward here.

ROMAN EMPEROR gets the nod to build on his recent Chelmsford second and make it third time lucky, although a strong market move for newcomer Novarro would put a slightly different slant on things. The other Sheikh Mohammed Obaid runner Artistic Mission should also be thereabouts.

This can go to ROMAN EMPEROR who looks the one to beat on his Newbury debut form and an encouraging return from a break at Chelmsford.

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Refreshed by a break after being treated for stomach ulcers, CEPHALUS returned to form with a vengeance over this trip at Lingfield just before Christmas and is presented with a good chance of following up from just 4lb higher. Landlordtothestars is still unexposed at this distance and is suggested as the biggest threat to the selection off 3lb higher than last month's win over the extended mile at Wolverhampton, while Concert Boy is also considered from a handy mark.

CEPHALUS won off marks in the 70s during his time with Charlie Hills so a 4 lb rise for Lingfield doesn't look enough to stop him now he's back in form. Hollie Doyle takes over the reins on lightly-raced 6-y-o Top Button who is second choice ahead of Landlordtothestars.

This is surely all about CEPHALUS who burst out of the wilderness at Lingfield and has a lot going for him at the weights.

17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A small but competitive handicap, in which only a tentative vote can go to COTAI VISION. David Loughnane's charge was defeated by Billy Webster at Wolverhampton in November, but she is 6lb better off with that rival today, which could see her reverse the form. Out Of The Stars has been successful on two of her three career starts and looks an exciting prospect now pitched into handicaps, while neither Mart or Call Glory are able to be ruled out either.

BILLY WEBSTER made a winning handicap debut in ready fashion at Wolverhampton 6 weeks ago and, with that form proving strong, a 9 lb rise looks manageable. Cotai Vision and Mart both warrant respect.

The form of BILLY WEBSTER (nap)'s Wolverhampton success has received several boosts and he can defy the handicapper's advances.

18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TOP OF THE CLASS bumped into an improver when narrowly denied at Kempton in November, but the daughter of Zoustar could go one better from just 1lb higher. That said, she's sure to face strong opposition from recent course winner Al Suil Eile and Turbo Command, who must compete from 4lb higher having been on target over track and trip last month. Others to note include Kath's Toyboy and Dr Rio.

A tentative vote goes to KATH'S TOYBOY, who ran well after a break behind an impressive winner over C&D last month. Turbo Command, Intoxicata and Top of The Class are a trio of others with solid-looking claims.

With his reappearance effort behind him KATH'S TOYBOY is taken to concede the weight all round. Turbo Command is feared most.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANGEL AMADEA was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when recording a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last month, and a subsequent 7lb rise might not be enough to prevent her from repeating the dose. Once Adaay looks an obvious danger having been on target at Chelmsford last time, while Absolute Dream is another that must enter the reckoning.

DIAMONDSINTHESAND hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since getting off the mark at Wolverhampton and can capitalise on a handy-looking mark now. Recent-scorers Angel Amadea and Once Adaay rate the obvious threats, with Absolute Dream another to consider in an open handicap.

Diamondsinthesand can fare better today but KITAAB is low-mileage for his age and could yet rate higher.

19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

PLATINUM JUBILEE put in a career best when a close second on her handicap debut over a mile at Kempton last month. The drop in trip and application of a first-time tongue-tie could help the daughter of Oasis Dream to get off the mark here. That said, the hat-trick seeking Storymaker is an obvious threat and Sixties Chic also merits consideration.

A case can be made for most of these but SIXTIES CHIC has slipped to an attractive mark and can bounce back to winning ways having not enjoyed the best of runs when third to Storymaker at Lingfield last time out. George Boughey's hat-trick seeker rates the main threat, although the less exposed Platinum Jubilee and C&D scorer Just Janet can also have a say in a competitive handicap.

Although SIXTIES CHIC was just over 2l behind Storymaker at Lingfield recently, she was caught wide and can turn the tables.

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f, Race Class Flow

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

COME ON GIRL bounced back to form when a head second over 6f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and she could be hard to beat if reproducing that level of form here. Urban Dandy made the frame in a similar event to this at Newcastle last time and should not be underestimated, while Ustath and El Hibri complete the shortlist.

THE NAIL GUNNER offered something to work with on his first outing since leaving Denis Quinn after 6 months off when seventh at Wolverhampton 10 days ago so could be the answer with a potentially lenient mark to work with. Ustath should come on for his recent run and has dipped below his last winning mark, so is next best ahead of Come On Girl, who was only just edged out at Lingfield 2 weeks ago.

Not a lot went right for the veteran ASTROPHYSICS at Wolverhampton last time and he's given another chance to exploit a handy mark.

20:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

In a moderate event the vote goes to UTHER PENDRAGON, whose last couple of efforts in handicap company suggest that the veteran could go very well at this level. Similar comments apply to Silver Bubble and the six-year-old may prove to be the main threat to the selection. The rest all have plenty to prove right now but Foinix is the pick of them.

Stable-switcher NEY could be worth chancing in this grade given the pick of his hurdling form. Silver Bubble and Uther Pendragon are feared most.

Stan Moore's veteran UTHER PENDRAGON, a close second in a 1m3f handicap here two starts ago, has good claims at this level.
