LTO Selection:

14:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (1) DAPPER MAN and 5/1 (5) SNOW BERRY seem to be the strongest contenders. Therefore, my prediction for the top three finishers would be: 1. 2.25/1 (1) DAPPER MAN 2. 5/1 (5) SNOW BERRY 3. 4/1 (4) APACHE STAR

The in-form Dapper Man (third) is being kept busy and should be thereabouts again despite a 9lb higher mark for his C&D success in March. However, he might do well to confirm the January C&D form with SNOW BERRY (fourth) on the revised terms, and Michael Appleby's mare shades preference as a value option on this occasion. The Tron also has a decent chance on these terms.

DAPPER MAN is going through an excellent spell, second to a rival seen to maximum effect at Redcar on Thursday and a 3 lb rise still leaves him very competitive. Apache Star and Snow Berry look the main dangers.

Dapper Man is respected but APACHE STAR, who hasn't had the breaks lately and won't mind the drop from 6f, is better treated.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to make a clear prediction based solely on this summary. However, based on the information given, 2/1 (1) YORKSHIRE TERRIER, the C&D winner who sets the standard, and 3/1 (2) DAFOOR, the likely looking newcomer with a lot to like on paper, may be strong contenders for the top three spots. 4.5/1 (4) RISING FORCE, with a trainer who commands respect for newcomers, could also be a contender. Ultimately, it will come down to the performance on the day of the race.

YORKSHIRE TERRIER was a convincing winner over C&D on his debut last month and, while the form of his subsequent outing in a potentially decent novice stakes at Newmarket is yet to really be put to the test, this could be a good opportunity for the son of Bow Creek to boost his profile. He was a bit too keen when he faded into fifth in that Rowley Mile contest, but he sets a good standard. Dafoor appeals most of the newcomers, while Melisende is respected too.

YORKSHIRE TERRIER showed up well for a long way trying to defy a penalty at Newmarket 3 weeks ago and back on the AW, he can put his experience to the best possible use. Dafoor and Kaolinite are interesting debutants on breeding.

Yorkshire Terrier sets a fair standard, but preference is for TALENT SHOW, whose trainer is an impressive 7-21 with 2yos here.

Bondi Man

25/1(-56%)
(1) Bondi Man 25/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 22/1) 39 days ago. Bounce back called for.
The handicapper's easing off quickly but it's hard to find any other positives.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.5/1 (2) BOND SPIRIT seems to have the best chance of finishing well, with a C&D win earlier this year and a creditable third place finish at the same location 55 days ago. 2.5/1 (5) BLUE HAWAII is a potential dark horse with a lowly mark and a significant step up in trip, while 2.75/1 (3) PITTSBURG may also perform better on the AW after three solid efforts earlier in the year. Predicted finish: 1st - 2.5/1 (2) BOND SPIRIT, 2nd - 2.5/1 (5) BLUE HAWAII, 3rd - 2.75/1 (3) PITTSBURG.

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this looks a good time to side with BOND SPIRIT, who has been consistent since winning a classified stakes over C&D in January. He has gone close in three subsequent starts back in handicaps and looks worth sticking with. Mad Artymaise is unexposed on the all-weather and is respected after appearing to appreciate a sterner test of stamina last time. Pittsburg rates best of the rest.

BOND SPIRIT scores plenty of points for consistency and in a race lacking strength in depth, he's comfortably the most persuasive option. Better is expected of Pittsburg returned to the AW and he's the main threat, though it will be interesting to see what Blue Hawaii can do now handicapping.

Pittsburg should be happier back on the AW, but this looks ideal for BOND SPIRIT (nap) as he tries to add to January's C&D win.

Bounced back to form from the front last week; is a dual course winner and respected.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse that is most likely to do well and potentially win is 1.38/1 (1) SEAL OF SOLOMON, followed by 10/1 (5) KITTEN'S DREAM and 3.5/1 (3) MUKHA MAGIC in second and third place respectively. 2.75/1 (2) DUBAI JEANIUS is not expected to perform as well due to the change in distance and is not mentioned as a top contender.

SEAL OF SOLOMON goes from strength to strength for Ed Dunlop and won as he pleased last time out at Chelmsford despite a slow start. Upped 8lb in the handicap for that, he will need to improve again, but as that was his first start in six months he may do just that. Kitten's Dream has won here twice suggesting he may get involved, leaving C&D winner Dubai Jeanius to chase them home.

SEAL OF SOLOMON remains unexposed over staying trips and can follow up his recent Chelmsford City victory here. Kitten's Dream may give him most to think about.

Dubai Jeanius will need to settle better and the vote goes to the progressive SEAL OF SOLOMON, who remains unexposed as a stayer.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 1.88/1 (2) MARKSMAN QUEEN 2nd: 1.25/1 (3) ELRAAED 3rd: 4/1 (4) LIL' FRANK

Marksman Queen is the only previous winner in this field after scoring by a head at Kempton last November, but the form of that race isn't working out that well and she has a 7lb penalty. LIL' FRANK has been a beaten favourite on both his starts and has been gelded since his Chelmsford fourth. He has always been expected to make up into a better three-year-old and he gets the nod, though Dubawi colt Elraaed looks the part on paper and may yet be the surprise package.

MARKSMAN QUEEN sets the standard on her Kempton debut victory and likely has more to offer this year. She can land the spoils. Lil' Frank and Elraaed look the obvious dangers.

Marksman Queen may find the concession of a penalty too much, with ELRAAED most interesting against her.

(6) Native Melody 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Yarmouth (8f, heavy) 23 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Cheekpieces need to spark her into life.
Poor handicap debut when tailed off on soft ground three weeks ago; headgear goes on.
LTO Selection:

16:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 1.5/1 (5) WILDFELL is likely to do well and has a good chance of winning the race, followed by 7.5/1 (8) TICKET TO ALASKA in second place and 4.5/1 (1) SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX in third.

Native Melody ran a shocker last time out when last on soft ground at Yarmouth, but connections try first-time cheekpieces here and, with her best run a debut third at Chelmsford, a return to the all-weather makes sense. She may prove the biggest danger to hat-trick seeker WILDFELL, the winner of both starts since a gelding operation. An added 6lb may not be enough to stop a third victory, though both Ticket To Alaska and All Dunn could also get involved.

WILDFELL has made a superb start to life with Peter Chapple-Hyam, looking more straightforward to boot when winning again 3 weeks ago and the hat-trick may well be forthcoming. South Dakota Sioux is effectively up only 4 lb for last week's Wolverhampton win and he's a definite threat, along with Ticket To Alaska.

This revolves around WILDFELL, who again had something in hand when beating Ticket To Alaska on 5lb better terms last time.

(7) Kath's Toyboy 2.5/1, Back to winning ways over C&D last month and improved on that form when close second of 10 in handicap here (6.1f) 4 days later. Big player.
Came right away with a subsequent winner over 6f here last time; is high on the shortlist.

(1) King Of York 3.33/1, Returned to form when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 11 days ago. 1 lb lower now and enters calculations.
More on turf last time; the question now is whether he'll still have the speed for 7f.

6lb better off with Kath's Toyboy than when pushing him close over C&D last month; player.

Buzzy front-runner who tends to come to hand early; may face competition up front.

Struggled back into handicaps since a novice win, albeit he offered more last time.

(10) Motawaafeq 9/1, C&D winner. 11/2, bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 39 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
On a handy mark but that's been true for a while and his only recent win came in a seller.

Best run in a while last time despite pulling hard; lacks consistency and this is stronger.

(9) Eagle Creek 22/1, 66/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at this C&D 34 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Makes limited appeal.
Handicapper's giving him every chance and he's worth a market check in first-time headgear.

The handicapper's easing off but he's from a speedy family and stamina is the big question.

(3) Bond Boy 33/1, 3 wins from 11 runs this year. Last of 10 in handicap (25/1) at this course (6.1f) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.
Won three early in the year, latterly off just 1lb lower, but has gone off the boil since.

(4) White Umbrella 100/1, First run since leaving Harry & Roger Charlton when last of 8 in handicap (50/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to soft) 19 days ago. Work to do.
Return to 7f will suit but offered little in finishing well beaten on her turf return.

17:20 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.5/1 (7) KATH'S TOYBOY 2nd: 10/1 (11) BOBBY JOE LEG 3rd: 9/1 (13) MUDLAHHIM

KATH'S TOYBOY arrives boasting a consistent level of form, which includes a C&D success on his penultimate start when getting the better of the reopposing Bobby Joe Leg, and his second here over a furlong shorter, when narrowly denied, was boosted by the winner going in again at Haydock last Saturday. A 3lb rise is unlikely to stop him from going one better. The aforementioned Bobby Joe Leg is forgiven his subsequent turf effort and is entitled to be in the mix, while Saisons D'Or won over C&D two starts ago and would be respected if bouncing back to that kind of form.

KATH'S TOYBOY arrives at the top of his game and can score for the second time here this year. King of York and Tom Tulliver head the list of dangers.

Bobby Joe Leg is weighted to turn things round with KATH'S TOYBOY but the latter is in cracking form and can confirm the placings.

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.
