13:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having capitalised on a career-low mark at Newcastle 24 days ago, HARTSWOOD looks more than capable of going in again. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings looks on the lenient side for Richard Fahey's charge and he edges the vote over Star Pupil. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a close-up second over 7f at this venue and today's extra furlong shouldn't prevent another bold showing. Overnight Oats and River Wharfe are others to consider.

ONSLOW GARDENS caught the eye in first-time headgear when third at Wolverhampton last month, moving through the race with a fluency that suggests he's up to winning a race of this nature if the blinkers have the same impact again. Overnight Oats emerged with lots of credit in defeat last week, while Star Pupil seems to be holding his form after getting his head in front again.

James Owen has done well with OVERNIGHT OATS (nap) and the 5yo is not done yet. He probably needs a quieter ride than he got last time.

13:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A 185-day break worked the oracle for recent 1m course scorer Northbound and he has to enter calculations under a 4lb penalty. However, today's 7f distance isn't certain to suit the seven-year-old and it could be worth taking a chance on ALYARA. Joe Ponting's mare has acquitted herself with credit in classified company of late and a return to handicap company could prove fruitful. Spartan Fighter and Hawajes could make their presence felt too.

HAWAJES resumed winning ways here last time and can follow up in another low-grade affair. The other last-time-out winner in the field Northbound has to be feared, while Spartan Fighter is also considered.

The choice is HAWAJES who has gained two of his three wins over C&D, the latest 15 days ago.

14:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

VIXEY makes plenty of appeal dropping into 0-55 company. The five-year-old was beaten just under two lengths when weakening into fourth over C&D eight days ago and she looks primed to strike. The biggest threat may emerge from recent Newcastle fourth Yaahobby, who enjoys a 1lb drop in the ratings. Monsieur Fantaisie could also play a leading role if settling better.

MONSIEUR FANTAISIE has a great record at Southwell (form figures of 2121) and can resume winning ways having pulled his chance away at Newcastle last week. Crocus Time has dropped to a mark that makes her impossible to ignore (has been placed off 65), while Cammy and Royal Justice are both potentially interesting for new stables.

The pick in this uncompetitive handicap is YAAHOBBY, who is on a workable mark and gave a fairly good account at Newcastle recently.

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

THE NEW BAY PEARL took a sizeable step forward from her first start to hit the woodwork at Newcastle last month and that effort might be the strongest form on offer in this contest. Roger Varian's three-year-old looks well placed to put her experience to good use, with her main threat possibly being Left Over Love. The daughter of Inns Of Court failed to justify short odds at Lingfield last time but may appreciate this step back up in trip. Blazing Spirit sports a first-time hood and is another to note.

LEFT OVER LOVE has showed plenty of promise in two narrow defeats and with signs of greenness still apparent last time, she remains open to improvement. It's interesting that the expensive Bintjan is back in a novice event having now qualified for handicaps and connections may be keen to get her head in front sooner than later with a future breeding career in mind. Of the others, The New Bay Pearl and Warm Glow have shown enough to merit consideration in a race of this nature.

Newcastle runner-up THE NEW BAY PEARL is taken to show further progress and go one better. Left Over Love is second pick.

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

ROYAL ZABEEL justified favouritism in good style at this level at Wolverhampton last month and a 5lb rise might prove to be on the lenient side. The four-year-old hasn't finished out of the top two since joining the Michael Appleby yard/being gelded and could continue his rise in the ranks. Yorkshire is in fine form at present after completing a double at Wolverhampton in November and could have a say off a 3lb higher mark than his most recent success. Our Havana completes the shortlist.

There's every chance they go a good gallop here and that should play to the strengths of the strong-travelling OUR HAVANA who scored when settling better last time and remains unexposed under these conditions. A well-run 7f might also suit Apiarist who was too keen to do himself justice at Newcastle 4 weeks ago, while the manner of Royal Zabeel's recent victory entitles him to plenty of respect in his bid for a hat-trick.

Preference is for ROYAL ZABEEL, another shrewd purchase by connections. He can make light of a 5lb rise in his bid for the hat-trick.

ASADJUMEIRAH made it two wins out of his last three starts when scoring in convincing style at Newcastle earlier in the month and while in this sort of form, he will prove very difficult to beat. Lezardrieux occupied the runner-up spot at this level at Newcastle six days ago and could get into contention, along with track-and-trip winner Neptune Legend.

NEPTUNE LEGEND was seen to best effect with a sound gallop to aim at last time and with a few front-runners in here, this could also be run to suit. He can make it two in a row at the expense of other recent winners Asadjumeirah and Combustion.

This isn't at all clearcut but the recent wide-margin winners NEPTUNE LEGEND and Asadjumeirah head the list.

The handicapper is in charge of most of these but SOPHOSC, who has won at this course off 20lb higher in the past, is one who has slipped under the radar and could be worth chancing. A close-up third over 1m6f at Wolverhampton off this mark 13 days ago, Ian Williams' nine-year-old retains enthusiasm and is of high interest stepping back up in trip. Last-time-out winners Rubellite and Mamdoh are feared most, although Mirabello Bay is another who could have a say.

RUBELLITE has proved better than ever of late, doing well under the circumstances when scoring at this course last time having been hampered over 1f out, so she is taken to record a third success of the year. Mamdoh also arrives on the back of a win and is respected now that he's up and running, with Sophosc completing the shortlist.

An expensive yearling but ultimately disappointing for Owen Burrows, recent winner MAMDOH has now found his level.

Something clicked into place with MASTER OF MY FATE after he underwent wind surgery last year and his winter campaign has been exemplary with four wins from seven starts since last October. Even though he chases a four-timer off a career-high mark, the son of Foostepsinthesand boasts the most convincing profile and has a good chance of taking advantage of dropping back in class here. The hat-trick seeking Counsel is respected under an 8lb penalty but fellow last-time-out winner Rhythm N Hooves is feared most off just 2lb higher.

A good sprint handicap that could go to JUMBEAU. She had some good form last summer and should have come on for her return behind Master of My Fate here 3 weeks ago. The uncomplicated Master of My Fate seems sure to go well again bidding for a 4-timer, while the similarly-thriving Counsel should also be in the mix again.

It may be worth siding with RHYTHM N HOOVES whose success over C&D last time was given a boost when the runner-up won last Saturday.
