Bigger Than Giga has a 2-3 record on the all-weather but she wasn't ever involved last time out on the turf at Newmarket when beaten 25 lengths into 13th. She can do a lot better on this surface and may prove the biggest danger to CRIMSON SPIRIT. He got off the mark in a good maiden at Epsom last month when tried over this trip and, if he takes to the all-weather, he could win on his nursery debut. Dubai Hills and Up The Jazz can also get involved.

CRIMSON SPIRIT showed improved form in line with the step up in trip when opening his account in a 7-runner Epsom maiden (7f) 16 days ago and with the likelihood of more to come now handicapping, he can make another bold bid. Faster Bee caught the eye on nursery debut at Newbury and is feared, with Up The Jazz and Commander Crouch others fancied to be thereabouts.

Preference is for BUTTERCROSS FLYER, who could well improve further on AW. Crimson Spirit is second choice.

Irish trainer Johnny Levins sends Shawaamekh here looking to land the prize and, after second places on both starts this season, a market watch may help to define his chances. Richard Hannon is in amongst the winners lately, and TAHITIAN PRINCE added to those numbers with a win at Chelmsford for his fourth success on the all-weather. He has won off higher marks in the past and could go well again here, while Aphelios is another to be interested in.

It could just be worth chancing HALF NUTZ. Twice runner-up from this mark at Leopardstown in August, he shaped better than his finishing position suggests at Newcastle 2 weeks ago, emptying late on having done plenty. He shades the vote, with Chepstow scorer Imperial Dream an obvious threat. Aphelios impressed when successful at Kempton and is also shortlisted.

Last week's winners Imperial Dream and Aphelios are obvious players but an interesting alternative is HALF NUTZ.

Kingmania has only been here once, winning by half a length in April off 3lb lower, and she could surprise a few. With the Rod Millman horses in good form it was no shock to see BILLY MILL winning at Newcastle last month and, if Saffie Osborne can produce him fast and late again, an added 3lb from the handicapper may not prevent a repeat victory. Baltimore Boy was beaten a little over a length in a better race at Kempton latest and he looks a major player, along with Cry Havoc.

Overcoming a pace bias when successful on return/yard debut over C&D in the spring, KINGMANIA has largely been in better order than recent form figures suggest and, appealing as still being on a workable mark returned to all weather, it would come as no surprise to see a bold showing from James Ferguson's mare. Dionysian and Tosen Wish both arrive on the back of good efforts and are feared, with Hat Toss and Billy Mill others fancied to be in the mix.

All the signs look good for DIONYSIAN (nap), who is very interesting off his current mark back over 1m. Tosen Wish is feared most.

Tolstoy could hardly have been more impressive when scoring at Brighton 10 days ago but a 5lb penalty for that success just gives the edge to AMAZONIAN DREAM. Rod Millman's gelding was only narrowly denied at Goodwood last week and the four-year-old can race off the same mark here. Nordic Passage is another recent winner to note, while Hierarchy and Gulliver complete the shortlist.

NORDIC PASSAGE returned to winning ways in good style when landing a Racing League event at Newcastle 13 days ago, impressing with how he travelled through the race, so he is taken to follow up in his current form. Gulliver lurks on a dangerous mark and is feared most, while Amazonian Dream and Fierce both arrive in good heart and can be thereabouts once more.

This is more competitive than the six-runner Brighton handicap TOLSTOY won ten days ago but he did it easily and can defy a penalty.

19:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DIAMOND BAY had plenty in hand when scoring at Wolverhampton last week and the five-year-old is hard to oppose as a result, despite a 5lb penalty. That said, the hat-trick seeking Sea Stone could give him plenty to think about, while similar comments apply to the consistent Cinnodin. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Mostly Sunny and Blazeon Five.

BLAZEON FIVE took her form to another level when edging out a subsequent winner at Ascot, pulling well clear of the rest, and she can defy a 3 lb rise at a track she's proven at. The progressive Sea Stone is the obvious threat as he bids to maintain his unbeaten record on AW, with Mostly Sunny another to consider back down in class.

Plenty of in-form stayers and course winner CINNODIN is marginally preferred to up-and-coming Sea Stone.

SPORTING HERO hasn't kicked on as expected following the promise of his novice victories as a juvenile. Gelded since his latest run, the son of Bobby's Kitten is given a chance to return to form, especially back on the all-weather with him being unbeaten on an artificial surface. Manila Scouse was progressing nicely until disappointing at York's Ebor meeting. The four-year-old has every chance to leave that performance behind him. Lil Guff, May Sonic and Never Dark complete the shortlist.

NEVER DARK has only been nudged up the weights for last month's front-running Hamilton win and he's fancied to follow up for the in-form Iain Jardine yard. Angle Land remains on his last winning mark and bounced back to form at Newcastle last time, so also makes appeal with Dettori on board, whilst Michaela's Boy has been competing in stiffer company and is another who could give a bold bid from the front.

The return to AW could be a major plus for the very lightly raced 3yo SPORTING HERO, who has been gelded since his last run in May.

SCAMPI didn't quite get home in the Ebor on his latest start and the drop back to 1m4f, which saw him succeed the time before at the Shergar Cup, presents him with a solid opportunity to add another valuable prize to his CV. Regal Empire also won on the same card at Ascot and makes plenty of appeal in his bid for a third course victory. Soto Sizzler has dropped to a fair mark and is respected, while any market support for UK debutant Percy Shelley would make him of considerable interest.

A fiercely competitive concluding contest to Racing League 2023 and the one who makes most appeal is VALSAD, who went down only narrowly to a progressive 3-y-o at Newbury last month and provided he takes to the surface (makes all-weather debut), Harry & Roger Charlton's charge can double his tally. Regal Empire won twice at this track earlier in the year and arriving on the back of Shergar Cup success, he rates the main danger. Onesmoothoperator and Scampi round off the shortlist.

Progressive 3yo REGAL EMPIRE is taken to follow up his Ascot success. Onesmoothoperator is second choice.

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.
