Musical Diva

2.25
9/4(-20%)
(5) Musical Diva 9/4, 7/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago, responding well to more aggressive tactics. Handicapper has reacted but she rates one of the likelier types again if replicating that here.
Impressive all-the-way winner at Wolverhampton latest; up 8lb but still greatly respected.

(3) Gogo Yubari 6/1, First run since leaving Amy Murphy when seventh of 10 in nursery (8/1) at Chelmsford (5f) 35 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Others more persuasive.
Better at the start on last month's stable debut, but end product was still disappointing.

(4) Smooth Silesie 80/1, Below form sixth of 11 in nursery (20/1) at this course (6.1f) 34 days ago, outpaced 2f out and never a threat. Passed over starting out for new yard.
Promise over 5f last summer; less good over further since; down in trip for stable debut.

(8) Tiselle Tuendchen 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden who made the frame equipped with blinkers/tongue tie when 4 lengths fourth of 10 to Musical Diva in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago. However, more needed if she's to trouble the principals here.
4l behind Musical Diva at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; still low mileage but needs more.

(6) Lotting's Lass 4/1, Shed maiden tag over C&D in September and similar form when hitting the frame next 3 starts. Below best when eleventh of 12 in handicap tackling 6f for the first time 7 weeks ago but no great surprise to see her bounce back.
C&D winner in September; not at her best over 6f last time but capable of bouncing back.

33/1(-106%)
(2) Grecian Princess 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 23 days ago, no extra from home turn. That was her first start for 6 months and handicapper has relinquished his grip but she remains with just one standout effort.
Interesting on one turf run last year; sharper for last month's return; down in weights.
LTO Selection:

11:25 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MUSICAL DIVA had Tiselle Tuendchen (fourth) behind when securing victory by just over three lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton last time and has been given an 8lb rise for that success. David O'Meara's filly could have more to come following that confidence-boosting first victory and she looks well placed to go in again. The main danger may be Lotting's Lass, who remains on a workable mark and could have a say if she bounces back from her disappointing display at Southwell last month.

BINT HAVANA GOLD was well-served by a well-run race dropped back in trip when making her handicap debut a winning one at Kempton 3 days ago and could be the way to go with the drop to the minimum trip expected to hold no fears. Musical Diva was impressive when opening her account at Wolverhampton and rates the lead threat. Lotting's Lass is next best back from a short break.

Musical Diva is high on the list but BINT HAVANA GOLD (nap) won well in a good time on Monday's handicap debut and can follow up.

(8) Toptime 11/10, Temperamental sort who returned to form back from 12 weeks off when third here (6f) in December prior to finishing second of 7 in handicap back at this course (6.1f) 7 days ago, no match for winner. Capable of defying this mark in present groove.
Two good 6f runs here this winter; effective over C&D; more appealing than many.

(7) Ali Jewels 100/1, Winner at Yarmouth in September. 25/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f). Off 94 days. First run for yard after leaving William Jarvis and betting may well prove the best guide.
5f win on turf in September; well held twice after; makes stable debut in a warm 0-55.
LTO Selection:

11:55 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

TOPTIME filled the runner-up spot off this rating over 6f here on his latest outing and was picked up late on that day, so this return to 5f may suit and he is taken to go one place better. Arzaak wasn't beaten far into third in this grade over C&D earlier in the month and could get into contention off an unchanged mark, while last-time-out winner Basholo is another to watch out for despite a 3lb rise for that Wolverhampton victory.

TOPTIME has returned from a break in good heart, finding only an improver too strong over 6f here 7 days ago and he's given the nod to capitalise on his reduced mark back down at the minimum trip. Mehmo returns from an absence lurking on a handy mark and he's feared, with The Tron and Dapper Man also fancied to feature in a competitive affair.

Several in-form sprinters on show but today's return to a straight track can spark another improved showing from THE TRON.

(4) Dunstan 17/2, Fair colt. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Ralph Beckett when creditable second of 6 in nursery at Lingfield (10f, AW, 8/1) 33 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Visor now the headgear of choice up in trip.
Second four times, including yard debut latest, but others have more scope for progress.

Pagliacci

(2) Pagliacci 5/4, Promising individual who improved on his opening 2 efforts when second of 9 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/8) 9 days ago, clear of rest. Significantly up in trip and possibilities with further progress likely.
Went close over 8.5f latest and bred to be suited by the much longer trip; leading claims.
3
3rd (3) Trojan Storm (9/2 -100%)
Trojan Storm

4.5
9/2(-100%)
(3) Trojan Storm 9/2, Ulysses colt. Well backed and shaped promisingly when second of 7 in maiden at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago, bumped by winner over 1f out and just failing. Has since left Ralph Beckett and he's well up to winning similar event on that evidence.
Went close on 9.4f Wolver debut 12 days ago; sold from Ralph Beckett since; more to come.

4th (1) Lord Normandy (7/4 +47%)
Lord Normandy

1.75
7/4(+47%)
(1) Lord Normandy 7/4, Son of Le Havre who improved on debut form (having been gelded) when winning 14-runner minor event at Chelmsford (10f) 42 days ago, well positioned. Up in trip and feasible to think he can do better again.
Winner of 1m2f Chelmsford novice last month but more needed under penalty in this field.

(5) Alextrician 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden (125/1) at this course (8.1f) 20 days ago. Significantly up in trip now but he's one for low-grade handicaps in due course.
Down the field on both starts and booked for another struggle.
LTO Selection:

12:25 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

PAGLIACCI was only denied by a head into second over an extended mile at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and he takes a big step up in distance, which could eke out the improvement needed to shed his maiden tag. Trojan Storm produced a pleasing debut effort to fill the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton and is another taking a step up in trip, so he has to be considered with that experience under his belt. Lord Normandy should mount a bold bid, even with a 7lb penalty to shoulder after his victory over 1m2f at Chelmsford.

An interesting novice with the narrow vote in favour of PAGLIACCI. He showed improved form when runner-up over the extended mile trip at Wolverhampton 9 days ago and promises to do better still now his stamina is tested further. Trojan Storm, a recent acquisition for the Ian Williams yard, shaped well himself on debut recently and may well emerge as the chief threat.

Sir Mark Prescott's PAGLIACCI should have more to come over this sort of trip and is preferred to Trojan Storm.

Smart efforts in 2m AW handicaps this winter; shorter trip but bang there on form.

(2) Claymore 10/1, Useful horse. 81/10, ¾-length second of 14 to Dawn Intello in listed race at Deauville (9.4f) 58 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Difficult ask.
Latest AW Listed second in France shows he's still useful but this demands more.
LTO Selection:

13:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 2) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A commendable fifth in last year's Derby, The Foxes readily holds Military Order (last) on that Epsom form and appeals strongly on his all-weather debut. The Churchill colt sets the standard on official ratings and can go well if adapting to the surface on his return from a 155-day break. Claymore also comes into the reckoning after a second-placed finish in Listed company on Polytrack at Deauville in November. Nevertheless, when it comes to proven match-fitnesss and effectiveness on synthetics, BASE NOTE has fewer questions to answer than his likely main rivals and could provide a bit of value here.

MILITARY ORDER was sent off 9/2 for The Derby and, while he disappointed at Epsom (and subsequently at Chester), he'd looked an exciting prospect up to that point, so he's worth a chance to get his career back on track returning from 4 months off after a gelding operation. Base Note is a formidable opponent and Enemy shouldn't be dismissed.

The Foxes and Military Order are potential class acts but both are returning from breaks so are taken on with BASE NOTE.

In good form over 7f here in recent weeks but isn't sure to benefit from return to 1m.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LIV LUCKY has started to get her bearings for her current yard and, on the back of two solid displays over 7f at this venue, she could be difficult to overhaul dropping into a classified stakes. Big Narstie can go close if he replicates the same level of flamboyance he showed in similar event over 7f at Wolverhampton 10 days ago, while Duisker also rates a player in this company.

BIG NARSTIE's quirks are well established but he confirmed the promise of his previous run when scoring with something to spare at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and he's a big player if in the same mood. Copper Mountain eased in grade/re-united with Jo Mason is another expected to feature, with low-mileage 4-y-o Duisker also on the shortlist.

Mick Appleby's BIG NARSTIE is a class act for this level and can add to last week's comfortable Wolverhampton success.

Needs improvement to open her account.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Southwell Stakes (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

BROUGHTONS FLARE is thriving on being kept busy and, given he was less than a length behind Inexplicable over this course and distance on his penultimate start, he rates a solid option to reverse the form with his old rival, who is much worse off at these weights. Ashmore looks the pick of the remainder, though Ebury is also considered for a place.

INEXPLICABLE showed a good attitude to score at Wolverhampton 9 days ago and he may well be capable of following up in a weak affair. Ashmore is a danger with cheekpieces back on and Stoic Syd should give his running once again.

(10) Flash The Dash 7/2, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 2/1) 21 days ago. Needs to bounce back.
Encouraging form over 6f since having wind surgery; sole win came at 7f; interesting.

(1) Comedian Leader 8/1, 3-time C&D winner. 9/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 5 days ago. Comfortable winner on penultimate outing and not seen to best effect last time, so remains of interest.

Disappointing favourite over C&D last time but has possibilities provided he rebounds.

Wind surgery needs to have positive effect.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

DAAFY was an unfortunate second last time due to the blindfold being removed late and, barring any further mishaps, he can go one better off an unchanged mark. Pride Of Spain finished a creditable fourth at Wolverhampton 13 days ago despite racing freely. A first-time hood may help him settler better and he warrants respect, while Powdering and Kitaab are others to note.

COMEDIAN LEADER had a bit in hand when scoring at Kempton earlier in the month and didn't have much go right at Wolverhampton since, so she's worth another chance to defy the penalty. Daafy is an obvious threat on the back of a solid showing over C&D and Kitaab is one to note if the market speaks in his favour.

The first-time hood may well enable PRIDE OF SPAIN to settle better and get off the mark. Daafy is second choice.

(1) Bobby Joe Leg 10/3, Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (7/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, comfortably. Carries penalty. Hat-trick could be on the cards.
Has won at Newcastle and over C&D this month; should make a bold bid for the hat-trick.

Third on yard debut in November but below that level twice since and 1-30 overall.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

There has been no stopping BOBBY JOE LEG, who completed his double by defeating Daafy (engaged to run at 2.45) over C&D a week ago. Ruth Carr's 10-year-old must shoulder a 4lb penalty but that might not be enough to thwart the in-form gelding. Locked N' Loaded has plenty in hand judged on past exploits and there were signs of a return to form in his recent course fourth. Media Guest is most appealing of the remainder.

BOBBY JOE LEG had something to spare when scoring over C&D a week ago and remains well treated under a penalty, so he takes preference over Locked N' Loaded, who took a step back in the right direction recently. The returning Almodovar Del Rio is another one to consider.

Bobby Joe Leg should go well but LOCKED N' LOADED was a close fourth behind next-time-out scorers here last time and is preferred.

Yet to build on his Redcar success in two AW handicaps; blinkers now reached for.

(6) Hiatus 6/1, After 12 weeks off, shaped well when ¾-length fourth of 8 to First Company in handicap (8/1) at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago, finishing with running left. Can make his presence felt from 2 lb below his last winning mark.
Met no end of trouble when 4th behind three of these at Kempton latest; of major interest.

(11) First Company 16/1, Soon resumed winning ways when landing 8-runner handicap at Kempton (6f, 8/1) 22 days ago by ½ length from Em Jay Kay. Remains well treated on old form so he could be able to add to his tally.
Had a long barren spell but he's won two of his last three, both at Kempton; shortlisted.

Blackjack

2
2/1(+78%)
(7) Blackjack 2/1, Dual C&D winner early last year, but one of lesser efforts when eleventh of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Pontefract (6f, good) when last seen in July. Could fare better back at this venue if ready to go after 6 months off.
Two C&D wins last year; Rossa Ryan booked for his return but other pace to contend with.

Better run when third at Kempton latest, behind two of today's rivals; others preferred.

Hold-up sprinter who won well at Newcastle in November; big chance if back at that level.

(8) Hour By Hour 9/1, Back down in trip, finished well held when last of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 18/1) 28 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but others still more persuasive at present.
Well handicapped but not at his best the last twice; yard also runs After John.

(9) She's The Danger 11/2, In first-time visor and tongue strap, soon back to form when winning 9-runner handicap (5/2) at this course (5f) 20 days ago. One to consider as she goes back up in trip.
2 course wins this winter, responding well to visor last time (5f); 6lb rise demands more.

(1) Em Jay Kay 5/1, C&D winner. Not discredited when fourth of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW, 17/2) 10 days ago. Can give his running once more returned to this longer trip.
Running creditably in defeat but he's not getting much change from the handicapper.
5

33/1(-313%)
(5) Ithra 33/1, Creditable 1¼ lengths sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 6/1) 13 days ago, leading until final 1f. Still looking for her first win, but she's capable of getting involved having eased further in the weights.
Ten-race maiden; running well of late but she has other pace to contend with today.
LTO Selection:

15:55 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A 6lb rise for SHE'S THE DANGER's latest course success looks more than fair when taking into account the fact jockey Lewis Edmunds dropped his whip on the mare inside the final furlong. Stall 12 isn't the most favourable draw but she is a pacey individual who could take all the beating if getting across from that wide berth. Conversely, recent Kempton scorer First Company has the plumb draw and must feature prominently in calculations, along with Bell Shot. The son of Dark Angel finished behind First Company last time but is now 2lb better off with his old foe.

FIRST COMPANY made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when successful at Kempton 22 days ago and, having been rated higher in the past, he is taken to score again. Heading the list of dangers is Hiatus, who met trouble in running when fourth behind the selection last time, while Thank The Lord can also give another good account.

After John is high on the shorlist but HIATUS can gain compensation for a luckless run at Kempton three weeks ago.

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.
