1st (2) Roger Pol (4/1 +11%)
Roger Pol

4
4/1(+11%)
(2) Roger Pol 4/1, Dual-bumper winner who built on his Newton Abbot hurdle debut second when going one better at Fakenham last November. Didn't manage to add to that success but hails from a yard amongst the winners and must be respected on chase debut/return here. Had wind operation.
Bumper and hurdle winner; had wind surgery since the spring; could improve now chasing..
1
2nd (1) Next Left (5/4 +44%)
Next Left

1.25
5/4(+44%)
(1) Next Left 5/4, Taken well to fences, winning twice over this sort of trip and arrives on back of creditable second of 5 in handicap chase at this course (24.3f, good to firm, 2/1) 20 days ago. Likely contender.
Dual Worcester 2m4f winner this year (on good); good effort here (3m) latest; big player..

3rd (4) Mahler Moon (9/2 +36%)
Mahler Moon

4.5
9/2(+36%)
(4) Mahler Moon 9/2, Ran respectably on final start for Dan Skelton over hurdles at Worcester 42 days ago but remains a maiden after 12 runs under Rules and remains to be seen if switch to chasing for new yard brings about improvement.
Placed three times at up to 3m over hurdles; likely to need improvement on chase debut..

4th (5) Gentleman Jacques (13/2 +28%)
Gentleman Jacques

6.5
13/2(+28%)
(5) Gentleman Jacques 13/2, Made the frame in bumpers and several hurdles for Charlie Longsdon but ran poorly on final 2 starts and no signs of improvement for new yard at Ludlow a fortnight ago, despite plenty of market support. Goes chasing now.
Placed in a bumper and two hurdles; beaten favourite latest; bit to prove on chase debut..

5th (6) Presenting Pete (13/2 +0%)
Presenting Pete

6.5
13/2(+0%)
(6) Presenting Pete 13/2, Matched the pick of his hurdles form when second of 7 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (21.1f, good to soft) on debut over fences 22 days ago. Entitled to build on that and must enter calculations.
Dual 2m4f hurdle winner; made a competent chasing debut at Sedgefield and he is respected..

6th (3) Impatient (40/1 -433%)
Impatient

40
40/1(-433%)
(3) Impatient 40/1, Quite expensive as a store horse and showed ability in bumpers and on Carlisle hurdles debut this time last year. Proved disappointing twice since, however, and has something to prove on switch to chasing.
Below par in the spring after a layoff including wind surgery; chase debut; bit to prove..

14:08 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

PRESENTING PETE only found one too good on his chasing debut over 2m5f at Sedgefield at the beginning of the month and the seven-year-old can defy a 2lb rise to go a place better here. Next Left also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main danger, ahead of Mahler Moon and Impatient.

NEXT LEFT has plenty of chase experience in the book and should appreciate the drop back in trip here. He can bag his third success in this sphere. Presenting Pete and Roger Pol are feared most.

Useful hurdler ROGER POL is open to improvement on his chase debut and is taken to score for a trainer among the winners.

Duke Of Luckley

1.875
15/8(+32%)
(3) Duke Of Luckley 15/8, Jumping better of late and doubled his chase tally at Southwell (20.4f) in April. Good second at Worcester last 2 starts so he needs considering.
Went close again latest; up 3lb; consistent; should be involved again, back down in trip..

2nd (1) Mr Mackay (2/1 +40%)
Mr Mackay

2
2/1(+40%)
(1) Mr Mackay 2/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who make a promising start over fences after 5 months off when third of 9 in handicap at Bangor (17.4f, good). Unable to build on that at Perth next time but still early days in this sphere. Headgear on.
2m3f hurdle winner; didn't jump fluently enough at Perth latest; cheekpieces go on..
5
3rd (5) Neigh Botha (11/4 +69%)
Neigh Botha

2.75
11/4(+69%)
(5) Neigh Botha 11/4, Made a successful return over fences at Southwell (2m) in June and backed it up with a good third at Worcester. Jumping issues quickly resurfaced at Bangor next time, however, and latest fourth at Uttoxeter suggests he's no longer progressing over fences.
C&D winner in June, when 5lb lower; has taken a few backward steps since; bit to prove..

4th (2) Sea Prince (16/1 -33%)
Sea Prince

16
16/1(-33%)
(2) Sea Prince 16/1, Returned to form with a narrow success back hurdling at Worcester (2m, good) in June but poor efforts in 3 subsequent appearances, including back chasing at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago. Tongue strap/headgear on for 1st time.
Well treated on best chase form; returns to a more suitable trip and headgear goes on..
4
5th (4) Fancy Stuff (11/1 -633%)
Fancy Stuff

11
11/1(-633%)
(4) Fancy Stuff 11/1, Bumper winner who failed to progress over jumps for Dan Skelton. However, she's come good over fences this season, impressing greatly with the way she moved into contention when scoring at Bangor in June, and she looks up to completing the hat-trick.
Seeking a hat-trick; up in grade but may not yet have reached the ceiling of her ability..

14:43 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to oppose FANCY STUFF, who arrives here on the back of two impressive victories earlier in the year. Even a 10lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. Duke Of Luckley is clearly next best following two second-placed finishes at Worcester. The rest all have questions to answer, but Mr Mackay is just about the pick of them.

FANCY STUFF is thriving now and the manner in which she won at Bangor last time suggests she can complete the hat-trick back from a break. Duke of Luckley has jumped much better since switched to positive tactics and rates the main threat.

The in-form FANCY STUFF is an unexposed entrant and she may not have stopped winning just yet.

Deep Purple

5/6(+56%)
(2) Deep Purple 5/6, Point winner who showed up with promise when runner-up at Warwick on Rules debut 20 days ago. More to come and should be able to go one better.
Found one too good at Warwick; can improve for that experience; should again be a player..

Little Watson

9/1(-170%)
(1) Little Watson 9/1, Cheap purchase but made a successful start for Nigel Twiston-Davies at Stratford 5 months ago. With new connections now and penalised, but obviously merits respect.
Debut bumper winner; changed hands for £38,000 and should be competitive under a penalty..

Half-brother to a bumper winner; stable 2-11 in bumpers this season; could go well..

Showed little in two points last spring and is perhaps best watched on his rules debut..

Beaten favourite on debut; has switched trainers since and needs to step up on that form..

15:18 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Little Watson has to be of interest having scored on his debut at Stratford in May, but marginal preference is for DEEP PURPLE. Dan Skelton's gelding only found one too good on his Rules bow at Warwick three weeks ago and that recent run may just give him the edge. The Long Walk makes plenty of appeal on pedigree and should not be underestimated on his first outing.

DEEP PURPLE has already won a point and, having found one too good on his first go under Rules, he's fancied to gain compensation at the possible expense of debut winner Little Watson. The Long Walk is one to be interested in if the market speaks in his favour.

The debutant THE LONG WALK represents a team enjoying a good number of first-time-out winners this season and he could be the latest.

1st (3) Asian Star (11/4 +17%)
Asian Star

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(3) Asian Star 11/4, Shaped well when fifth in a big-field Cheltenham bumper on Rules debut in April. Failed to deliver when odds-on at Southwell the following month but that effort now looks a lot better than it did at the time and she's sure to step up on her opening third in a slowly-run race on hurdles debut.
Fared okay, without excelling, on last month's hurdles debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good)..

2nd (2) Mary (5/2 +44%)
Mary

2.5
5/2(+44%)
(2) Mary 5/2, Scored at Stratford in August and backed it up with a good second in 2m1f Downpatrick handicap last month. Would have gone one place better on chase debut but for a fall at the last at Worcester and he's a major player back in a novice.
Progressive since winning at Stratford (2m, gd/fm) in August; unlucky over fences latest..
4
3rd (4) Bellas Bridge (2/1 +40%)
Bellas Bridge

2
2/1(+40%)
(4) Bellas Bridge 2/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and built on her encouraging Rules debut when landing a 9-runner event at Ludlow in January. Sound fifth in listed company 2 months later and she's a hurdles debutante of serious interest. Tongue tie on.
Ludlow bumper winner; hurdle winners in family - may prefer further; tongue-tied; player..

4th (9) Rockola (15/2 +25%)
Rockola

7.5
15/2(+25%)
(9) Rockola 15/2, Made the frame in a couple of bumpers towards the end of last year but was in process of running below that form when unseating rider after last on hurdles debut at Wetherby in February. Strong in the betting and finished second at Hereford despite failing to settle in April.
Unable to justify favouritism at Hereford (2m, soft) in April; stablemate of Irish Chorus..

Red Panda

33
33/1(-32%)

Some encouragement drawn from opening attempt over hurdles at Warwick (2m; third) in May..
8

Lady Buttercup

28
28/1(-133%)
(8) Lady Buttercup 28/1, Left previous bumper form well behind when landing 6-runner contest at Warwick last month. Was soon to very good effect on that occasion and more needed to follow up switched to obstacles.
Made all at Warwick (2m, mares' bumper; 22-1) recently; Brian Hughes on for hurdles debut..

Simply Belle

80

Failed to kick on positively since switching to hurdles (0-2); rates as unlikely candidate.

Hola Hermosa

12
12/1(-41%)

Carries a 7lb penalty for her summer Worcester win (2m, good); fair third at Exeter since..

Placed on Hexham debut (2m bumper) in May; failed to build on that since; hurdles debut.

15:53 Southwell Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f  Race Class Flow

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

ASIAN STAR showed enough to suggest she will be winning over timber sooner rather than later when third at Newton Abbot on her hurdling debut. The runner-up has subsequently boosted the form and Dan Skelton's mare makes plenty of appeal with improvement likely. Irish Chorus has to come into the reckoning on her second at Warwick in May and is preferred to stable companion Rockola. Lady Buttercup landed a bumper at Warwick on her reappearance and can make her presence felt now hurdling.

A slowly-run race counted against ASIAN STAR when she was third at Newton Abbot a month ago but that race has already worked out well and she's well worth another chance. Mary is a pretty solid opponent, while Bellas Bridge demands consideration given her ability in bumpers.

Irish Chorus and Asian Star represent top yards, but BELLAS BRIDGE has shown solid form in bumpers, so could offer a solution.

82,000euros 3yo; failed to shine in bumpers; needs to improve for the switch to hurdles..

Soundly beaten on both attempts over hurdles (2m-2m4f); firmly up against it again here..

16:28 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Bumper scorer WICKED THOUGHTS is a brother to a winner over timber and Paul Nicholls' inmate looks to have strong claims of making a successful start over hurdles. Holokea landed a NH Flat race at Worcester during the summer and will have benefited from a recent outing at Chepstow. He can have a say in proceedings on his hurdling bow and makes more appeal than Rocket Man. Get Cracking has struggled in both starts over hurdles so far.

WICKED THOUGHTS laid a solid platform for hurdling in bumpers last season and this looks an excellent opportunity to get off the perfect start. Holokea proved to be a disappointment at Chepstow recently, so Rocket Man is preferred for forecast purposes.

The Musselburgh bumper winner WICKED THOUGHTS rates as a fascinating new recruit to this discipline for Paul Nicholls.

2.25
9/4(+0%)
(3) Goblet Of Fire 9/4, Landed a juvenile maiden at Hereford (16.2f) in February prior to a good fourth in Bangor handicap (16.6f) in May. In rude health on the Flat subsequently, winning 3 of his 5 starts since and he appeals as being on a workable mark returned to this sphere. Interesting.

Beaten a short-head off this mark at Worcester (2m) in June; latest run okay; cheekpieces..

Various mishaps since trying hand over fences; fairly treated returning to hurdles; place?.

Jack The Savage

Runner-up in three of last four starts, only just denied over C&D (good) in May; respected.

Reliable since winning at Wetherby last November; eases in grade on seasonal reappearance..

Prolific in 2022; has struggled for 18 months or so now, though; risky proposition..

17:00 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Goblet Of Fire has registered three victories on the all-weather since his respectable fourth at Bangor in May and Nicky Henderson's charge must enter calculations. However, TOONAGH WARRIOR has posted several creditable efforts in defeat since his Wetherby triumph in November last year and he may offer slightly more value on his return to action. Ascension Day also makes some appeal now back at 2m.

GOBLET OF FIRE has improved further on the Flat since last seen over hurdles and Nicky Henderson's 4-y-o makes plenty of appeal returned to this sphere from what could well prove a lenient mark. Jeudidee and Ascension Day head up the dangers, along with Toonagh Warrior who isn't out of things on his seasonal bow.

The 4yo GOBLET OF FIRE (nap) has thrived for Nicky Henderson and could be thrown-in from a mark of 108.

Plenty more to come and will be hard to beat under a penalty.

With more improvement in the pipeline, he's a definite player on return.

Well beaten latest but an each-way player if performing to the level she did before that..

(10) Zuul 12/1, Showed the benefit of a recent run and seemed to stay the longer trip when 2¼ lengths fourth of 12 to Queens Venture in handicap at Market Rasen (23.1f, good) last week. Hard to see him turning the tables with that rival but could well make the frame.
Unable to make an impact from similar marks on his two starts since a break; more needed..

33/1(+34%)
(9) Mademewhatiam 33/1, Little encouragement to glean in novice/handicap hurdles. Has rejoined former yard and a first-time tongue tie applied but hard to enthuse over.
Unplaced in seven starts; tongue-tie tried; plenty to prove on his return to this stable..

Gone In Sixty

11/1(+45%)
(11) Gone In Sixty 11/1, Long-standing maiden who shaped like a non-stayer upped in trip when only seventh at Fontwell (25.8f, good) last time. More required.
Below par latest but is an each-way player back down in trip, if he can shrug that off..

Fashionelle

6.5
13/2(-8%)
(1) Fashionelle 13/2, Off the mark at Worcester last month, proving a different proposition under a more positive ride. Ran at least as well under a penalty when finding only an unexposed sort too strong at Warwick (19f, good) just over 4 weeks ago and should be bang there again.
2m4f hurdle winner; probably needs improvement to defy another rise but not ruled out..

12/1(-41%)
(4) Stuti 12/1, Course bumper winner who made an encouraging start in this sphere when third of 13 in 20.6f novice at Market Rasen last November. Close to form but again found a couple too good when last seen at Hexham (20.1f, good) 4 months ago and now heads down the handicap route.
Third in four of her five hurdles and unable to better her bumper form; each-way player..

20/1(+20%)
(6) Spitfire Bridge 20/1, Showed ability in bumpers and looked a work-in-progress in trio of maiden hurdles to date this summer. Fit from Flat but failed to find the necessary improvement contesting his first handicap over hurdles at Huntingdon (19.6f, good) recently so more required to open his account.
Looked in need of a favour from the handicapper on his recent handicap debut..

33/1(-230%)
(8) Lord Warburton 33/1, Modest at best on the Flat (stays 1½m) but and made a successful handicap hurdle debut from 13 lb out of the weights with the same visor/tongue strap combination fitted in 9-runner event at Market Rasen (18.6f, good to firm) last month. Needs to prove that was no fluke.
Up 6lb for his 33-1 win at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) and now has to back it up; respected..

17:33 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

QUEENS VENTURE justified strong support in the market when making a winning handicap bow at Market Rasen last week. Dan Skelton's filly scored with plenty in hand and she is sure to take the world of beating under a 7lb penalty. Fashionelle is in form and a potential improver back up to the distance of her Worcester triumph. She may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of last-time-out Uttoxeter winner Just Chasing May.

QUEENS VENTURE made a mockery of an opening mark of 91 at Market Rasen last week and with plenty more to offer, Dan Skelton's 4-y-o is strongly fancied to follow up under a penalty. Just Chasing May looked one to follow in opening his account in thoroughly dominant fashion at Uttoxeter in the summer, so he heads up the dangers on return, with Fashionelle and Stuti another couple worth considering, too.

Having won with plenty in hand when stepped up in trip on her handicap debut, QUEENS VENTURE is taken to successfully defy a penalty.

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.
