Lightly raced filly; hasn't shown much (at 1m4f); tough to fancy on handicap debut..
LTO Selection:

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

It was a weaker race in which All About Alice blitzed the field at Lingfield 29 days ago, but while she has also previously won over 1m3f on this circuit, a 5lb higher mark means she needs to register another personal best. With that in mind, HUSCARI appears worth chancing off 4lb lower than her only previous winning mark. Nicola Currie knows the filly well and the partnership can provide some value. The consistent Lord Torranaga and recent Lingfield winner Induro De Fontaine are also considered.

ALL ABOUT ALICE won in taking style at Lingfield 4 weeks ago and looks well at home on the AW so there is a good chance she can go in again. Huscari is feared, while Buganvillea and Cape Point might step up now handicapping at this low level.

The obvious candidate is Dylan Cunha's emphatic Lingfield scorer \bALL ABOUT ALICE\. She looks fairly treated from just a 5lb higher mark.

Zaphea

4
4/1(-14%)
(6) Zaphea 4/1, Winner at Musselburgh (5f) earlier this month and ran at least as well in defeat from 5 lb higher mark when second at Catterick (5f, soft) 5 days ago. Solid claims in present groove.
In form this month granted a sharp turf 5f and cut; 4lb well in and down slightly in grade.

Amroon

2.5
5/2(+82%)
(8) Amroon 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in maiden (100/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Will hold more chance now handicapping and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.
Big uplift needed but best run was on Tapeta and the drop to 5f looks a possible plus.
4
(4) Raft Up (7/2 +22%)
Raft Up

3.5
7/2(+22%)
(4) Raft Up 7/2, Proved much shorter in betting and showed much more than previously when second of 8 in nursery at Brighton (5.2f) in August, challenging final 1f and just failing. Merits consideration with a repeat.
Almost defied refusal to settle at Brighton latest; wide trip on Tapeta the time before.

Zola Power

3.5
7/2(-56%)
(3) Zola Power 7/2, Lightly raced maiden who ran up to best when second of 7 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, bursting clear 2f out but not quite getting home. Return to the minimum trip a plus and he's a player.
Second on Polytrack (5f, 6f) the past twice, committing early latest; live contender.

Elliott

11
11/1(+56%)
(5) Elliott 11/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. That effort wasn't devoid of encouragement and he may yet have more to offer now handicapping.
Needs to leave maiden/novice form behind but these are easier waters and he drops in trip..
2
(2) Reflexion Faite (17/2 +23%)
Reflexion Faite

8.5
17/2(+23%)
(2) Reflexion Faite 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, ran respectably when fifth of 7 on nursery debut at Ripon (5f, good) 30 days ago, losing place around 2f out before keeping on again. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but a return to 6f may suit ideally.
Down 2lb today but the race got away from her at a vital stage on last two starts.

Lotting's Lass

33
33/1(-106%)
(12) Lotting's Lass 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Below form 5¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Zaphea in nursery (13/2) at Musselburgh (5f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Makes tapeta debut with something to find.
Over 5l behind Zaphea on turf last time, albeit with excuses; switches surface now.

Bella Camina

50
50/1(-355%)
(13) Bella Camina 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, showed more than previously when third of 10 in nursery at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, every chance entering final 1f and keeping on. Needs to pull out more however to figure here.
Career-best form when third at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) but comes with risks attached.
11
(11) Belvoir Kitten (50/1 -79%)
Belvoir Kitten

50
50/1(-79%)
(11) Belvoir Kitten 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, eighth of 10 in nursery at Chelmsford City (7f) 26 days ago. Back down in trip. First run for yard after leaving Ed Dunlop. Plenty to find on form.
Didn't raise game for Ed Dunlop in nurseries; new yard generally scores with older horses.

100/1(-150%)
(10) Harswell Star 100/1, Sixth of 8 in minor event (80/1) at Beverley (5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Makes tapeta debut. Others more persuasive.
Anonymous effort at Beverley last week (5f, heavy); looks stable second string to Zaphea..
LTO Selection:

17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner at Musselburgh on her penultimate start, it is no surprise to see ZAPHEA turned out quickly after she went down by just a head in her bid for back-to-back wins at Catterick on Saturday. Currently 4lb well-in, the daughter of Dandy Man is a must for consideration in this weaker race. Bella Camina is an interesting alternative from the bottom of the handicap, while Zola Power and Raft Up are others with solid place claims.

ZAPHEA matched the form of her breakthrough success at Musselburgh when finishing a sound second at Catterick 5 days ago and she looks sure to go well again in this groove. Zola Power rates the chief threat dropped back to the minimum trip ahead of Raft Up. Elliott demands a check in the betting on his handicap debut.

If the tactics are got spot on, and Raft Up and Zaphea don't settle any better, this nursery can be entrusted to ZOLA POWER.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

While a mark of 73 is hardly insurmountable, MARIE LAVEAU sets the standard in this ordinary looking maiden and she is a strong fancy to carry to the famous colours of Kirsten Rausing to victory at this level. Being by Derby winner Sir Percy, her pedigree screams out for middle distances and she could be a different proposition having stayed on strongly near the finish over a mile at Chepstow last time. Barrel Aged and Sonnet Star are the pick of the rest.

Given how well MARIE LAVEAU settled in the hood over 1m at Chepstow last time she should have prospects of staying further (bred to) and she sets the standard here. It's a slight concern that Barrel Aged has been absent since his debut in January but he showed promise on that occasion and is feared most ahead of Sir Terrance Hadley, who was very green on his recent turf debut so could improve now.

Upped to a likely suitable trip, and proven already on Tapeta, MARIE LAVEAU probably ought to have the beating of Sonnet Star.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

HASHTAGMETOO has looked like her time could be near for a while, and she put in another pleasing effort to hit the frame over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last week. The six-year-old ought to go very close once again. Owens Lad hasn't finished out of the top two in each of his last three outings, so he has to be respected off 2lb higher than his most recent second at Ffos Las. Of the remainder, Bay Of Naples and Timewave make the most appeal in an open contest.

TIMEWAVE can boast a course success and arrives on the back of a good clear Newcastle third last time out so can resume winning ways off the same mark here. Fellow course winner Owens Lad heads the list of dangers, although Hashtagmetoo, Sarkha and Roman Art all need factoring into this open handicap too.

Top of the list is ROMAN ART (nap), who was a clear third behind two next-time-out winners over C&D in first-time blinkers last month.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

310,000-euro purchase RAQEEBB shaped well on his debut to finish fourth at Chelmsford and he would have learned a great deal from that first outing. The son of Wootton Bassett can take a step forward to shed his maiden tag at the second time of asking. Of the dangers, Smart Deal looks the most eye-catching after outrunning his huge odds on his first start on the level at Chelmsford and it would be no surprise to see him involved. Any market confidence behind Running Star would be of interest.

The market should reveal plenty here but it is still hard to side against SNIPER'S EYE who holds the clear edge on form and can gain a deserved breakthrough success. Both Smart Deal and Notability are less exposed and can have a say, while Roger Varian's newcomer Inspiritus and Chelmsford fourth Raqeebb need factoring in too.

This represents an ease in grade for SNIPER'S EYE and he can get off the mark at the fifth attempt. Raqeebb can chase him home.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

WAR DEFENDER give his supporters a fright as he justified favouritism by only a nose at Musselburgh on his latest outing and he remains in the same grade. The six-year-old was put up 3lb for that display, so he is still well treated on his form from last year and he can record a double. Flying Panther did it well over a mile at Kempton earlier in the month and warrants respect, while Enola Grey isn't ruled out either.

TICKETS is down the weights/in grade and is likely to come on for his recent return from 5 months off at Kempton, so a chance is taken on him to get the better of recent Musselburgh scorer War Defender. Enola Grey is another one to consider in quite an open contest.

A chance is taken that FLYING PANTHER will handle the return to Tapeta as he's been in such good form since these aids were fitted.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Ardbraccan will have his supporters following a near-miss at Brighton, but she races off a 2lb higher mark on only her second all-weather outing tonight and could be vulnerable under top-weight. Al Tarfa has filled the runner-up berth in similar events at Lingfield on his last two starts but has gone up 1lb for those and may have to play second fiddle again, this time to ABRAVAGGIO. A dual winner in the summer, he looked crying out for a return to a mile when staying on for a close-up third off this mark over 7f at Lingfield earlier this month and that form has been boosted by the sixth winning since.

AL TARFA is in top form and looked ahead of his mark when second from a long way back at Lingfield last time, so he's preferred to Adrbraccan, who has dipped to a lenient mark and got back on track recently. Abravaggio is also considered.

Second to the same very progressive rival on his last two starts, AL TARFA still looks well handicapped after a recent 1lb rise.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

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

The manner in which ELOPED ran away with a 1m4f handicap at Wolverhampton last time suggests a 6lb rise may not be enough to halt her here, especially as the lightly-raced Hugo Palmer inmate has scope for further progress, and she is fancied to follow up. The main threat appears to be fellow double seeker Folk Star, whose 6lb hike for a narrow 1m3f victory at Kempton seems a little more harsh, while Turner Girl is another to consider after a short-head second at Lingfield off 2lb lower 12 days ago.

ELOPED quickened up best in a steadily-run race when opening her account at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago and she narrowly shades the vote to come out on top ahead of fellow last-time-out scorer Folk Star. Paradise Row can emerge best of the remainder.

A tough finale with a multitude of overlapping form lines. The determined Kempton winner FOLK STAR is narrowly preferred to Eloped.

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.
