14:00 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Soft ground wouldn't have suited SHETLAND BUS at Wetherby last month, having been off the track for 168 days. He remains well treated on his peak hurdles form and it would be no surprise to see an improved performance with forecast conditions set to be in his favour. Recent Plumpton scorer Tommie Beau can mount another serious challenge, along with Lounge Lizard, who bolted up at Catterick last time out.

KAYF HERNANDO's novice handicap form at the end of 2022 looks solid and he gets the nod to make a successful return from a break for the Skeltons. Lounge Lizard had the form of his latest Catterick win boosted when the second scored at Market Rasen on Sunday and he's feared most ahead of the reliable Tommie Beau.

The pick is ARIZONA CARDINAL, who began his chasing career with a win in the autumn and will find this easier than his latest race.

14:30 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

THELASTHIGHKING was suited by a drop in trip when winning over an extended 1m7f at Wincanton last month and Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge could have what it takes to deal with a subsequent 8lb rise in the handicap. Quid Pro Quo has yet to complete in two starts over fences and has plenty to prove, so Chepstow third In Excelsis Deo looks the one for forecast purposes.

THELASTHIGHKING readily surpassed his previous exploits over fences when running out a ready winner on his third chase start at Wincanton 16 days ago (passed the line with plenty left) and an 8 lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid here. Since Day One may emerge as the chief threat.

After a taking success at Wincanton, THELASTHIGHKING looks the likeliest winner.

15:00 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Nicky Henderson has a terrific record in bumpers at this venue and MADAM RYDER could enhance that already impressive strike-rate. The daughter of Blue Bresil makes plenty of appeal on paper and Caoilin Quinn ought to further aid her chances with his handy 5lb claim. Sister Julienne is feared most, while Stuti and Anna Of Annandale are others to note.

FORTUNE FOREVER had excuses at Warwick last time and is taken to get off the mark at the fourth attempt. Sister Julienne looks the main danger on form, whilst Madam Ryder may be the pick of an interesting bunch of newcomers.

This is probably easier than the Newbury race in which STUTI finished fourth, and she has a very good pedigree for bumpers.

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

LITTLE MISS DANTE must hold every chance if building on a strong runner-up effort on debut at Huntingdon in January. James King's 3lb claim is another plus and she can see off the likes of Rogue Queen and Endless Supply, who is bound to improve on her first run under Rules at Chepstow. Bella Madonna and Blow The Budget are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

The clear pick is LITTLE MISS DANTE, who fetched £100,000 as a 3-y-o and made a promising start to her career when going close at Huntingdon. Unless one of the newcomers turn out to be pretty decent, she won't need to improve upon that form to go one better here. Braunton Burrows is the most appealing of the debutantes on paper and is preferred to Rogue Queen for forecast purposes.

As regards the runners who already have experience, LITTLE MISS DANTE has the best chance. All of the newcomers are attractively bred.

16:05 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Now that the penny has dropped for SUPERSTYLIN, after an easy win at Market Rasen last month, Sue Smith's charge can follow up off an 8lb higher mark. He gets the vote ahead of the likes of Groom De Cotte and Shelikesthelights, who was value for more than the winning margin at Doncaster and could be interesting off an opening handicap mark of 101.

SHELIKESTHELIGHTS was value for extra when getting off the mark over hurdles at Doncaster last time, heavily eased up close home, and she can follow up on her handicap debut. Superstylin also arrives on the back of a win and is feared most, ahead of Pride of Hawridge who can fare better back down in trip.

Today's drop back in trip looks the right move for PRIDE OF HAWRIDGE, who was placed over 2m on his handicap debut two starts ago.

Slight preference is for SOLDAT FORTE, who ran a cracker when narrowly denied at Worcester last September and this appeals as an ideal opportunity on his first outing over hurdles. Great Samourai improved from first to second start when runner-up at Warwick last month and he must enter calculations, along with Bugle Major, who is well capable on the Flat but has yet to put it together in this sphere.

GREAT SAMOURAI left his hurdling debut form behind in a first-time tongue strap when runner-up at Warwick 3 weeks ago and, with further improvement on the cards, he's selected to go one better. Soldat Forte showed promise in a brace of bumpers last summer and ought to be up to making his presence felt in a race like this over hurdles. Newcomer Tommouse makes appeal on paper and requires a market check, also.

This looks a very good opportunity for GREAT SAMOURAI, who left his disappointing rules debut a long way behind when second at Warwick.

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

Gentleman Valley is still lightly raced over hurdles and could have a big impact in this company if he runs to the best of his ability. Hillfinch also warrants consideration in her bid to follow up last month's gutsy win at Huntingdon from just 3lb higher. However, ROCCO has been consistent since he reverted to timber just before Christmas and could be good value to exploit what looks to be lenient mark in comparison to his chase rating.

FREETHINKER hasn't looked back since the tongue strap went on and is fancied to complete a hat-trick with the form of his most recent Newcastle success having been franked. Kingsfort Hill is next on the list on the back of his recent C&D second, with eye-catching Bangor third Barony Legends and the handily-weighted Rocco two others who could have a say in an open handicap.

Dan Skelton's KINGSFORT HILL (nap) shaped very much as though his turn is near when a clear second over C&D last month.

17:40 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Mole Court was the main beneficiary of a faller at the last when he won at Hereford in February but he is open to more improvement and is taken seriously. However, similar comments apply to CAN'T BEAT HISTORY, who only just failed to reward favourite backers when he was a close second over 2m3f at Doncaster last time. That was a notable improvement with the tongue-tie back on and he shades the nomination. Tedwin Hills and Miss Wachit complete the shortlist.

CAN'T BEAT HISTORY upped his game when runner-up in a handicap at Doncaster 49 days ago and, with more to come, he's fancied to go one better. Handicap-debutant Tedwin Hills is a danger and Mole Court deserves respect on the back of a victory at Hereford.

On the back of a solid maiden effort, TEDWIN HILLS could well make a successful handicap debut. Lough Carra is second choice.

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.

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.
