16:20 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Expected to come on for her debut at Chelmsford, Sibling Rivelry may be the pick of those with experience after keeping on for a distant fourth over 1m that day, but she doesn't set the bar very high at all and it could pay to concentrate on interesting newcomers Papa Mango and CAPTAIN PARMA. Both make appeal at this level on pedigree and represent in-form yards but narrow preference is for the latter, whose dam won over 6f on dirt at Meydan and was also placed in a 1m Listed contest there.

Those with experience on the track don't set a tall standard to aim at so, with his yard flying, CAPTAIN PARMA gets the vote to make a winning start for James Owen. Sibling Rivelry showed ability amidst obvious greenness when fourth on debut at Chelmsford recently so heads up the dangers, with another debutant Papa Mango taken to round off the shortlist.

Little form to go on here and it could pay to side with James Owen's Iffraaj colt CAPTAIN PARMA who is taken to make a winning start.

16:50 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Live Aid led for a while when runner-up at 100/1 over 1m at Newcastle last month, but failed to beat a rival home over this C&D the time before and FULFORD CROSS looks a much more reliable option. David Simcock's gelding did well to finish within a head of the winner after a slow start on his debut over 7f at Kempton, an experience that won't have been lost on him and this extra furlong should really suit on that evidence. Second on both starts to date, including over this track and trip first time out, I'll Give It A Go also warrants consideration.

FULFORD CROSS showed plenty of ability despite inexperience and a less-than-ideal position when second at Kempton on his debut last month, so he has to be considered the one to beat with improvement on the cards. I'll Give It A Go should do better again, with Daddy Chill likely to take a step forward from his initial outing.

Fulford Cross was eyecatching on debut but Daddy Chill and I'LL GIVE IT A GO may have his measure this time.

17:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Charlie Appleby has an impressive 32 per cent strike-rate at this venue in the last five years and he saddles newcomer Wishful Spirit, a full-sister to a dual 7f juvenile winner, and Romantic Opera. The latter found one too good when sent off at odds-on over this trip at Kempton last time and could be worth another chance, but ZABEEL RAIN made eye-catching late headway when fifth over a mile here last month and she is perhaps the most interesting now stepped up in trip. Dojin also looked in need of further when third over 1m on debut.

Godolphin may dominate, with ROMANTIC OPERA, the mount of William Buick, taken to get the better of newcomer Wishful Spirit. Kintbury looks best of the remainder.

Dojin looks a likely big improver but the newcomer WISHFUL SPIRIT is bred to be useful and can make a winning start to her career.

18:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Now that KING OF YORK has regained the winning thread after a taking performance over C&D last month, Scott Dixon's charge looks capable of going in again off 6lb higher, with Kieran O'Neill getting the mount this time around. Only beaten a neck when last seen at Leicester in October, Blufferonthebus is one to consider on her return, while The Organiser is turned out again quickly under a 5lb penalty after scoring over C&D on Tuesday.

THE ORGANISER made the perfect start for Ed Bethell when going in over C&D only three days ago and can make light of a 5 lb penalty. Fellow C&D scorer King of York appeals as the one to chase him home ahead of Emily Post, Billy McGarry and Thanks Dad.

If The Organiser isn't over Tuesday's exertions, KING OF YORK could follow up 2024's race win ahead of stablemate Thanks Dad.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A winner of two of his last three starts over C&D, including last time out off 3lb lower, LEGAL REFORM still looks well treated and he can score once more for the in-form Michael Herrington outfit. Feared most is Abduction, who was an eye-catcher on his first run in 119 days when third over track and trip last month. A capable sort on his day, Zip must also enter calculations off a mark of 84.

LEGAL REFORM garnered a fourth C&D victory last time out and a 3 lb rise doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going in once more. Invincible Aura figures on a handy-looking mark and is next on the list with Abduction and Zip in the picture too.

Much better is expected from Tropez Power today but ABDUCTION shaped well on his seasonal return and he gets the vote.

This can go the way of OUR HAVANA, who performed with credit when upped in grade over C&D last time and he should be much more at home at this level. The four-year-old won over C&D on his penultimate outing and he may have too much for Feel The Need, who came from off the pace when not beaten far over track and trip on his latest start. Diamondonthehill also merits a place on the shortlist.

It could be worth rolling the dice with WAY TO DUBAI, who struggled for the most part in 2024 but he spent that campaign contesting higher-grade handicaps off higher marks than this. The 6-y-o makes his debut for a yard that is no stranger to success with recruits from rival stables and it will look significant if the market speaks in his favour. Our Havana is next on the list ahead of Eligible and Feel The Need.

Diamondonthehill should go well but OUR HAVANA (nap) won well over C&D in January and ran well in a hot Class 2 last time.

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROHAAN remains on a dangerous mark judged on his last couple of starts at this venue and the seven-year-old is given a chance to bounce back from his most recent appearance at Lingfield two weeks ago when unable to land a blow. Mums Tipple finished ahead of the selection in the aforementioned contest and is entitled to have stepped forward, especially with that being his first run since November. Others to note are Badri and Fivethousandtoone.

Making his return from 4 months off, SHARTASH looked unlucky not to finish closer when third at Lingfield 2 weeks ago, left poorly placed, and he can build on his recent run to get back to winning ways. Rosario hasn't been beaten far in his 2 starts this year and could be the main danger, while Tiger Crusade also arrives in good form and completes the shortlist.

We Never Stop won't be easy to peg back but BADRI loves it around here, is in top form and can win again.

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

SAX APPEAL arrives very much at the top of his game having backed up a brace of Wolverhampton successes with a 14-length rout over 1m4f here a fortnight ago. The handicapper may have been kind to only raise him 5lb and Charlie Johnston's gelding is expected to prove a tough nut to crack. Not Me may improve for a step up in trip, while Charlie's Choice and Humble Spark complete the shortlist.

The handicapper hasn't overreacted to SAX APPEAL's demolition job here a fortnight ago, handing him a 5 lb rise for that 14-length victory, and a fourth win on the bounce could be in the offing for Charlie Johnston's charge. Lightly-raced maiden Not Me promises to be suited by this step up in trip and is taken to emerge as the main danger ahead of the Tony Carroll-trained duo, Annexation and Tortured Soul.

It's very hard to ignore the claims of SAX APPEAL, who still looks ahead of his mark raised 5lb for his easy success here two weeks ago.

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

Shaw Park returned to winning ways on his latest start here over 7f but Scott Dixon's gelding will need to improve on that effort given he's 3lb wrong under a penalty. With that in mind, the vote goes to WILDE AND DANDY. The five-year-old ran on to finish second over 7f at Chelmsford latest and the return to a mile may help. Mr Mistoffelees and Yeoman appear best of the remainder.

This looks pretty open and preference is for COMMANDER OF LIFE, who put in a good shift when fourth over C&D off a 1 lb higher mark last month. Mr Mistoffelees deserves to get his head in front following a couple of solid placed efforts and he is expected to offer stren resistance, while Visibility looks the pick of the two trained by Scott Dixon and he also enters calculations, along with Yeoman.

Jessica Macey's COMMANDER OF LIFE wasn't seen to ideal effect when fourth over C&D last time and can resume winning ways eased 1lb.

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.
