17:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

King of Speed returned to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time and a 4lb rise should not prevent another bold showing from Mark Loughnane's gelding. However, TIMETOBENICE has performed well in defeat on a number of occasions recently and he could be worth siding with dropped a further 2lb after finishing second at Kempton last time out. Calanthe has been knocking on the door in recent weeks and he's another who could run well with Brodie Hampson back in the saddle.

A few with chances but KING OF SPEED is fancied to follow up his recent Wolverhampton success with that race having thrown up four subsequent winners. Timetobenice could emerge as the main danger on the back of a good Kempton second ahead of C&D scorer Visibility and in-form duo Calanthe and Alreet Cha.

Although the two wins by RISING FORCE have been at Chelmsford he has form elsewhere and can win this. The main danger is Calanthe.

17:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JESSE LUC's form has really taken off in recent weeks and although a 5lb rise for his latest win will make life tougher, he looks capable of bringing up the four-timer. Westmorian ran well to finish second on his return from a 272-day layoff at Newcastle last time, and he won't be far away if building on that. Charlie Mason wasn't beaten far in third at Wolverhampton last time and he should be capable of getting involved once again off the same mark.

Paul Midgley's MATCH PLAY caught the eye when a fast-finishing fourth at Newcastle last time out and can capitalise on a 1 lb lower mark now. C&D scorer Jesse Luc should ensure he doesn't have things all his own way though, with Westmorian and Charlie Mason also in the mix.

Westmorian is high on the list but JESSE LUC (nap) is going from strength to strength and can deal with the step up in class.

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

Five of ORMOLULU's six career wins have come at this venue and a 2lb rise for her win here last time might not be enough to stop Gemma Tutty's mare from going in again. Mersea sprung a 50-1 shock when returning with a win at Newcastle last time and she's entitled to respect. The Real McKay is having her first start for Michael Herrington and she could go close on just her second outing after wind surgery.

ORMOLULU goes really well here and a 2 lb rise for her fifth C&D victory over a fortnight ago might not prove sufficient to prevent her notching up the half dozen. Mersea also has winning form at the track and is feared most on the back of a recent Newcastle success. Elegant Erin and The Real McKay need factoring into this open sprint too.

A dawdle wouldn't suit but that seems unlikely and ORMOLULU can further enhance her fine record over C&D.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

FURTHER MEASURE has been in terrific form so far in 2025, winning four of his five starts, and Mike Murphy's gelding may prove capable of defying a 4lb rise following his latest Kempton victory. Star Legend finished third behind the selection at Southwell in January and backed that performance up when just denied at Chelmsford. Sneaky Blinder and Val Bassett complete the shortlist.

FURTHER MEASURE continues on the up and is taken to defy a 4 lb weights rise for his stylish Kempton success last time out and rattle off a four-timer. Annandale wasn't seen to anything like best effect when sixth here a week ago and this C&D winner seems sure to be on the premises. Mr Zippi also needs considering back up in trip, with Star Legend and Fashionelle not discounted either in a competitive handicap.

The choice is SNEAKY BLINDER who goes up in distance in his bid for a hat-trick. He has improved for the wind surgery.

19:15 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HAMMER THE HAMMER shaped well on both starts as a juvenile before nearly shedding the maiden tag when runner-up over C&D on his return to action last month. With that outing under his belt, Kevin Ryan's colt is likely to be a tough nut to crack. Bueno Nacho may benefit from a gelding operation and prove to be the main threat, while Gorgeous Mr George appears best of the remainder.

The progressive HAMMER THE HAMMER pulled clear of the rest when going close over C&D on his return 18 days ago and has been found an excellent opportunity. Gorgeous Mr George is next best having failed to meet expectations at Newcastle on debut.

This looks a golden opportunity for HAMMER THE HAMMER to break his maiden tag after a promising reappearance here last month.

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

Nelson Gay won over C&D last month and can launch another serious challenge. He had the measure of It's Showtime on that occasion and that will likely prove to be the case once more, but a chance is taken on ANGLE LAND returning to form. Robert Cowell's sprinter has been competing at Chelmsford without success since going close over this track and trip in November and she can make the most of a 4lb lower mark.

CATCH CUNNINGHAM has been given a chance by the handicapper and posted his best effort for some time at Wolverhampton last month. He can land the spoils. Nelson Gay and It's Showtime should also go well.

Nelson Gay and CATCH CUNNINGHAM appeal most, with the latter marginally preferred after a good run at Wolverhampton last month.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ONE MORE DREAM failed to land a blow when drawn wide over C&D a week ago. The six-year-old won this contest last year, and having subsequently eased to a potentially lenient mark, another bold bid is anticipated. Fools Rush In scored over course and distance at the end of last year and has since won again at Wolverhampton. He is likely to prove competitive back at this level, while Straight A is another capable of getting involved.

Preference is for JUST RITA, who was having just her second start for David Loughnane when runner-up here in January and is entitled to build on that. One More Dream and Straight A can also make their presence felt.

Plenty of possibles but ONE MORE DREAM had excuses here last week and is taken to repeat last year's win in the corresponding event.
