16:10 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

CARAMAY was on target over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month before defying a 4lb rise over C&D a fortnight ago. Raised a further 3lb, she might still have more to come over this trip and is fancied to bring up a hat-trick. Handicap debutant Shady Bay is interesting from an opening mark of 63, while recent Chelmsford victor Achillea appeals most of the remainder.

CARAMAY hasn't looked back since fitted with cheekpieces and is fancied to defy a 3 lb rise and bag her hat-trick here. Fillyfudge is weighted to have a big say and rates a major danger, with Aim For The Moon and Achillea also in the picture in this tight-knit handicap.

This looks to be between hat-trick seeking Caramay and last-time-out winner ACHILLEA, with Vision Of Hope worth a second look.

16:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Minelone shaped with promise on his debut at Wolverhampton last month but, while that experience will serve him well here, a chance is taken on ROGUE OFFICER. The son of Soldier's Call is related to several winners and it would come as no surprise if he proved good enough to land this. Duca Di Lucca is another that requires a market check ahead of his debut.

It would come as no surprise were this to go to a newcomer, with LADY MARY perhaps the pick of the bunch given her US pedigree strongly suggests she'll take well to this surface. Rogue Officer is another likely type on paper, with Tempted perhaps the pick of those with experience.

Minelone has the best form but the well-related newcomer ROGUE OFFICER may be up to making a winning debut.

17:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Not a daunting standard set by those with experience so it might pay to side with EMPRESS MATILDA. Roger Varian has his team in fine fettle and this well-bred filly should not be underestimated. Tattie Bogle is a half-brother to four winners, one of which was successful on the all-weather. Charlie Johnston's colt is considered, along with Lightupyourlife, who fetched 37,000 euros at the sales last November and is also related to a winner on an artificial surface.

This can go to a newcomer, with EMPRESS MATILDA preferred to Tattie Bogle before market clues. Lightupyourlife is another to note.

President Wilson can improve for his debut but this looks ripe for a newcomer. EMPRESS MATILDA looks the part on paper.

17:45 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SPETSES finished runner-up on his racecourse bow at Newcastle at the start of the month and a repeat of that display would make Roger Varian's colt difficult to beat in a contest lacking much depth. Rogue State may benefit from a first-time tongue-tie and is more than capable of playing a key role in proceedings, while Mauchline and newcomer Sedbury are others to note.

SPETSES ran a race full of promise on debut at Newcastle 4 weeks ago and makes plenty of appeal with improvement forthcoming. Rogue State is the clear danger.

There was clear promise from SPETSES on his Newcastle debut and he looks to have been found a golden opportunity to go one better.

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

HARVARD SOUND was impressive when getting off the mark at Lingfield in June before being presented with a straightforward task at the same track the following month. Tom Clover's gelding is taken to land the hat-trick on his handicap debut with the likelihood of more to come. Lattaash is another unexposed three-year-old who is capable of taking another step forward, with Street Kid, How Impressive and Noodle Mission others likely to be very competitive.

Lots with chances but it is worth siding with CHALK MOUNTAIN, who had been on a roll until not enjoying the rub of the green when sixth at Kempton last time and can now bag a fourth victory of 2024. C&D scorer Lattaash could emerge as the main danger now going handicapping, although Chuzzlewit, How Impressive and Harvard Sound all need factoring in too.

Soft ground excuses NOODLE MISSION (nap)'s latest effort and he had been progressing at a rate of knots beforehand.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow

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

BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE made what was essentially a winning return to action at Salisbury having taken no part at Chester the time before after rearing up in the stalls. It wouldn't be a surprise if the four-year-old could step forward from that effort, despite the handicapper giving him a 4lb rise. A return to the Flat may see Gordon Grey in a much better light after his recent exploits over hurdles, while Baltic, who disappointed when searching for a six-timer at Newmarket, is expected to bounce back on this occasion.

Low-mileage 4-y-o BERKSHIRE SUNDANCE proved better than ever when successful in what was effectively his reappearance at Salisbury a month ago and with that willing attitude sure to stand him in good stead, he can follow up. Baltic bombed out in the mud last month but had previously won his last 5 and can get back on track returned to the AW. Saratoga Gold is also considered.

Soft ground was a valid excuse for BALTIC's Newmarket disappointment and he can make it 3-3 on Tapeta.

19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

COOLAGH MAGIC was beaten just a half-length over 6f at Lingfield in September and a repeat of that effort would make him difficult to beat. Anthony Carson's gelding paid for his early exertions on that occasion and should he settle better, he could be a tough nut to crack. Urban Dandy wasn't beaten far over C&D last time and another bold bid can be expected, while Shaka also appeals.

URBAN DANDY signalled he is ready to strike again when a good recent C&D third so looks the way to go. Fellow course winner Coolagh Magic heads the list of dangers, while Shaka, Twistaline and Ring Fenced can all have a say too in this very open handicap.

The vote goes to SHAKA who has run several good races since July including when runner-up behind an improver over C&D three weeks ago.

19:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest sees a chance taken on MASQUE OF ANARCHY, who arrives here 10lb below his last winning mark. Craig Lidster's charge was not beaten far over a stiff 1m2f at Newcastle in September and eased 1lb, he can take advantage of this exploitable mark. Love Yours scored in good style over C&D last week, but a 6lb penalty could be difficult to conquer, while Wolverhampton scorer Kojin will also need to defy a penalty to claim this prize.

COME ON JOHN represents a stable going places and there are surely races to be won with him from this basement mark, so he's fancied to build on the promise of last week's effort at Wolverhampton. There are 3 last-time-out winners in opposition, with Kojin feared most.

Love Yours, Seraphic and Kojin are recent winners but COME ON JOHN gave encouragement on last week's debut for James Owen.

20:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

JALAYBEE ran on strongly to score over C&D earlier this month and this represents a good opportunity to follow up that success. Declan Carroll's charge has been raised 3lb for that victory, which can be negated by Zak Wheatley's claim. Fellow last-time-out scorer Triggerman shed his maiden tag over C&D last month and appears likely to be on the scene again, while a return to form would see Midnight Drive in the mix.

The switch to positive tactics backfired as MIDNIGHT DRIVE proved too free at Kempton but she remains a filly to be very positive about from this sort of mark. Triggerman and Jalaybee can offer most resistance.

Triggerman and Jalaybee come into the reckoning but this looks easier than the races MIDNIGHT DRIVE has been contesting.

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.
