Thunderbear

28/1(-155%)
(1) Thunderbear 28/1, Smart gelding. Group 3 winner at Newbury in September. 10¾ lengths last of 7 to My Eyes Adore You in listed race at Naas (5.9f, soft, 5/2). Off 133 days. Makes tapeta debut. Penalised and below par both previous starts on AW.
Won a Group 3 in the mud in September; penalised today; something to prove on AW.

14:45 Southwell Listed (Class 1) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

A highly creditable fourth in a Meydan Group 2 last month, CLARENDON HOUSE sets a lofty standard and can extend his unbeaten record on the all-weather, having won comfortably over C&D on his penultimate outing. On ratings, Robert Cowell's speedster is 4lb clear of recent Lingfield scorer Diligent Harry, who may not be ideally suited by the drop in distance and has to give the selection weight. Juan Les Pins and Thunderbear have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

CLARENDON HOUSE was far from disgraced in a Group 2 at Meydan last month and can quickly resume winning ways back down in class, maintaining his unbeaten record on the AW. Diligent Harry made a winning return in a similar event at Lingfield 3 weeks ago and is feared most despite a 3 lb penalty. Juan Les Pins looks best of the others.

Clarendon House is the one to beat but ABERAMA GOLD looks a viable alternative in a race that could play to his strengths.

1st (6) Military Order (9/4 +0%)
Military Order

2.25
9/4(+0%)
(6) Military Order 9/4, Smart gelding who won the Lingfield Derby trial (on AW) last year. Gelded and best effort since when narrowly denied in a C&D conditions race on his reappearance a months ago. Should go well again.
Disappointing after winning at Lingfield last May, but beaten a head over C&D last month.

2nd (4) Lord North (5/4 +23%)
Lord North

1.25
5/4(+23%)
(4) Lord North 5/4, Very smart gelding who has landed the last 3 renewals of the Group 1 Dubai Turf over 9f at Meydan in March and is also seeking back-to-back wins in this contest. While this provides a different test to the 1¼m he triumphed over at Lingfield 12 months ago he is a potential class act.
Won this last year; has the class to cope with the longer trip on a more galloping track.
5
3rd (5) Tyrrhenian Sea (9/2 +25%)
Tyrrhenian Sea

4.5
9/2(+25%)
(5) Tyrrhenian Sea 9/2, Smart gelding who showed a good turn of foot to come from further back than ideal to win 1¼m listed race at Lingfield on New Year's Eve. Second to Lord North in this at Lingfield 12 months ago but the slightly longer trip this time asks a different question of one who has plenty of speed.
Second in this last year; going well at Lingfield lately; needs Lord North to underperform.

25/1(-56%)
(1) Claymore 25/1, Useful horse but behind Military Order when last of 6 in a C&D conditions race last month. Up against it at this level of competition.
Group 3 winner on turf in 2022, but last of six in the trial for this over C&D last month.

Forest Of Dean

40
40/1(-100%)
(3) Forest Of Dean 40/1, Smart gelding who is contesting this race for the fourth time. Won it in 2021 but has only finished fourth and sixth in the 2 runnings since. Creditable 1¼ lengths third to Blue Trail in listed race at Lingfield (1¼m) when last seen in November but will probably find a few too strong again.
Running in this for the fourth time; plenty to find, but has winning form on Tapeta.
2
6th (2) Eydon (15/2 -25%)
Eydon

7.5
15/2(-25%)
(2) Eydon 15/2, Newmarket listed winner who was an excellent fourth in the 2022 2000 Guineas at Newmarket. Absent since (has moved from Roger Varian to Andrew Balding in the meantime) but interesting to see what the betting makes of him on his return to action.
Not seen since finishing fourth in 2022 2,000 Guineas; watch market on stable debut.

15:20 Southwell Group 3 (Class 1) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Lord North was last seen winning his third Dubai Turf in March, on the back of a defeat of Tyrrhenian Sea in this race when it was run over 1m2f at Lingfield, but the extra yardage could test his stamina to the limit and it can pay to side with the less exposed MILITARY ORDER. Successful the Lingfield Derby Trial last season, the Godolphin four-year-old seemed to be finding his way again when narrowly denied in the trial over C&D. Eydon, off since finishing fourth in the 2000 Guineas of 2022, is a fascinating runner for a new stable.

A new home and trip for the Winter Derby but it might be the same outcome as last year with 4-time Group 1 winner LORD NORTH selected to make his class tell again. Military Order gained valuable experience over C&D when narrowly denied in a conditions race last month and can give the selection most to do.

Last year's winner LORD NORTH looks very much the one to beat on these terms. He has a wonderful record fresh.

(1) Indicate 6/5, 5/1, last of 7 in maiden (5/1) at York (6f, good to firm) on debut last June. No shock were he to prove a different proposition on return, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
Well beaten at York on sole 2yo start but in good hands and one to watch in the betting.

Absent since last June (gelded since) but leading claims if resuming where he left off.

Orchard Park

(6) Orchard Park 14/1, 90,000 gns Showcasing filly. Sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Project Black and half-sister to 3 winners, including winner up to 5.7f Union Rose and 2-y-o 6f winner Lady Aria, both useful. Interesting newcomer.
Useful pedigree; with a good yard and of interest on debut; market check advised.

(5) La Boo 6/1, Thrice-raced filly. Off 8 months, may have needed the outing when third of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (5f) on reappearance 30 days ago. Should be spot on now.
Has shown promise on all three starts and could build on last month's Newcastle third.

8/1(-78%)
(7) Pearl Abbey 8/1, 7/2, promise when fifth of 14 in novice at York (5f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut last June. Off since but she appeals as a likely improver for the Julie Camacho team.
Well backed when promising fifth at York last June on sole start; interesting contender.

0-6 but some fair winter form for this yard and she could be a player.

15:55 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up to a subsequent Listed winner at Newcastle when last in action, MOONSTONE BOY sets the standard on form and can get his three-year-old career off to the perfect start. That may be at the main expense of newcomer Orchard Park, who is related to several winners and hails from a stable that has an excellent record with fillies. Pearl Abbey shaped with promise when the subject of a gamble on debut at York last summer and is expected to be thereabouts as well.

PEARL ABBEY shaped quite well on her York debut last summer and is taken to improve past more-established pair La Boo and Moonstone Boy. Newcomer Orchard Park, an ownermate of the selection, would also very much enter calculations should the betting suggest she's fancied.

A tricky little race, but LA BOO is open to improvement on her second start after a break and earns the vote ahead of Orchard Park.

Ultra-reliable sort; this may not be enough of a test of stamina but folly to rule him out.

16/1(-78%)
(6) Rhythmic Intent 16/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 16 days ago. Will be a threat off this reduced mark if he puts his best foot forward.
Off a good mark, but losing run up to 16 and he needs to bounce back.

16:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ARTISAN DANCER arrives here having won two of his last three starts and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those victories may not be enough to stop him. That said, Brunello Breeze has also been in fine form of late and is an obvious threat to the selection. Others to consider in an open event are Cresta Cat, Aqwaam and Barenboim.

The one who appeals most is BARENBOIM, who did well to finish as close as he did at Lingfield last time given that he was done no favours by the steady gallop, This is likely to be a truly-run affair and the 6-y-o is 4 lb below his last winning mark. Valsad went close at Newcastle recently and should be in the mix once more, while the unexposed Cello, the progressive Brunello Breeze, Artisan Dancer and Rhythmic Intent are others to consider in a very competitive contest.

The vote goes to AQWAAM who ran really well to finish second in a stronger race over this trip at Wolverhampton seven days ago.

17:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SPARTAN ARMY relished the return to the Flat when winning over 2m at Lingfield a few weeks ago and Alan King's gelding remains the one to beat, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings. Palace Boy has won twice over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in recent months and he has to be of some interest in his bid to go in again. Simiyann's efforts so far this year suggest that he may be able to reward each-way support.

PALACE BOY still looked comfortably ahead of his mark when making it 2 from 2 for this yard at Wolverhampton 5 weeks ago and can complete the hat-trick at the main expense of Spartan Army, who did well to overcome a pace bias at Lingfield. Simiyann caught the eye at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and completes the shortlist.

The way PALACE BOY (nap) drew away when hitting the front over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last time suggests this step up to 2m will suit.

17:35 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MEMORIES MAKER displayed plenty of promise when beaten just a length into third on his debut over this trip at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and with the benefit of that run behind him, Charlie Johnston's gelding could be very hard to stop. Rob's Umberella is another who arrives here with valid form claims, while Star Studied and Come On Chief are newcomers to note.

MEMORIES MAKER looked the likeliest winner until being undone by greenness at the business end on his recent debut at Newcastle and is well worth siding with to get off the mark at the second attempt with improvement on the cards. Star Studied is clear pick of the newcomers before market clues, while Rob's Umbrella shouldn't be a million miles away if backing up his latest effort.

Preference is for the debutant STAR STUDIED with the yard having had a winning 3yo newcomer here last month.

18:05 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The form of MR SWIVELL's Kempton second took a boost when the third-placed horse went in at Wolverhampton, so any further progress might be enough to see James Ferguson's colt shed his maiden tag. 55,000-euro purchase Scottish Breeze is related to a few winners and wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary to get involved on debut, while similar comments apply to Normandy Vista.

MR SWIVELL built on debut promise when beaten only by a nicely-bred newcomer at Kempton and can go one place better. Newcomers are likely to be the main threat again, headed by Normandy Vista (whose stablemate beat the selection at Kempton) and Scottish Breeze.

As regards the runners with experience, MR SWIVELL stands out. Normandy Vista and Scottish Breeze are interesting newcomers.

18:35 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CUSACK managed to hit the front late on over 7f last time out, for his second Newcastle success in as many starts, and the return to a mile could help him defy a further 4lb hike in the ratings. Star Zinc looks set to provide stern opposition, though, having been well on top at the line at Gosforth Park a week ago. Others to note include Plastic Paddy, Eagle Day and Cavalluccio.

The vote goes to EAGLE DAY, who lost little caste in defeat when third off this mark over 9.5f at Wolverhampton recently and this drop back in trip looks a good move. Plastic Paddy has been knocking on the door of late and is second choice ahead of Star Zinc, who hit the target at Newcastle last weekend, and the hat-trick seeking Cusack.

Recent Newcastle winners Cusack and Star Zinc (second choice) are high on the list but EAGLE DAY may be the answer back at 1m.

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.
