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

Juicy had shown distinct promise until a disappointing run at Newcastle in September but could well bounce back now he races with a tongue-tie added. Water Of Leith has been consistent of late and should also go well with Amy Waugh back in the saddle. However, preference is for THANKUAPPRECIATE, who is unexposed on the all-weather and, from a handy current rating, looks an ideal type for a race of this nature.

THANKUAPPRECIATE is interesting returned to the all-weather having performed with plenty of credit when third on his sole previous start away from turf at Newcastle back in June 2023. He gets the nod ahead of El Hibri, who will be a big threat if he puts his best foot forward. Howzak is third choice, while cases can also be made for Juicy and Water of Leith in this trappy contest.

Dropped 2lb having not seen out 6f latest, the lightly raced JUICY can make it 2-2 over C&D..

17:15 Southwell Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CLOTH OF GOLD looked a promising work in progress when he tried to make all on his recourse debut in a novice stakes event at Redcar last month. Just overhauled in the closing stages, the son of Sea The Moon still created a very favourable impression and, given his dam was a winner on the all-weather, switching to this surface shouldn't be much of an issue. Magic Runner and Beachborough Girl appeal most from the rest with experience, while Port Light is a notable debutant.

This is best left to CLOTH OF GOLD, who was a clear second on his recent debut at Redcar and, unless one of the newcomers Port Light or Orchestral Wave turn out to be pretty useful, he probably won't need to find any improvement in order to go one better here.

A few offered a bit of promise on debut but none came close to matching CLOTH OF GOLD's Redcar level.

17:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A chance is taken on nursery debutant EVA'S EYES being able to take things to a new level as she runs from a potentially competitive mark and has the assistance of a useful 7lb claimer in the saddle. The betting market should be informative, though, and support for A Fine Claret, Princess Inga or Flaine would need to be taken seriously.

LOLAPALOOZA will have every chance if able to perform to a similar level as when third in a 6f Nottingham maiden during the summer. She may have most to fear from Princess Inga, while Born Too Run and Flaine are others with claims.

Only Lolapalooza and Princess Inga have been placed so far but A FINE CLARET wasn't disgraced last time when hampered.

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

Maui Breeze finished over three lengths clear of the third when taking the silver medal home over C&D last time and she holds an obvious chance. However, she might be worth taking on with SPENDMORE LANE. Julie Camacho's juvenile shaped with plenty of promise to finish third on her debut over 5f at Newcastle in September and, with normal progression, she could be the one to beat. Any market confidence behind Fancy Dancer would be interesting.

Having shaped with a fair bit of promise when third on debut at Newcastle, SPENDMORE LANE is appealing with this step up to 6f likely to help unlock improvement. Indeed, she may find the required improvement to get the better of Maui Breeze, who pulled clear of the rest when runner-up back from a break here last month. Newcomers Fancy Dancer and Lovesick both need close attention in the betting.

Maui Breeze just about sets the standard but SPENDMORE LANE shaped nicely on debut and may progress past her.

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

KITAI wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth in a warmer event at York in September and the handicapper might have been kind to drop her 1lb for that performance. Mick Appleby's four-year-old will appreciate this drop in grade and looks well placed to record her fifth career success. Ziggy's Queen finished a close-up third at Wolverhampton last month and should remain competitive off a 1lb lower rating, while Shallow isn't one to write off either.

A chance is taken on HOLY FIRE, who misfired at Kempton when last seen in August but she posted several decent efforts in defeat prior to that and has edged down to an attractive mark. Ziggy's Queen lost little caste in defeat when third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and she will be a threat if able to back that up here, while Coup de Force and Kitai both make some each-way appeal.

Daytona Lady and Kitai are feared but SHALLOW retains potential after just four starts and she looked promising in the spring.

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

Sullivan Bay had Sir Joseph Swan (second) half a length behind in this grade at Chelmsford on his latest outing and is expected to confirm that form to have a say. However, it may pay to side with ALEX THE GREAT, who occupied the runner-up berth over 1m6f at Wolverhampton in September and has since switched to the Tony Carroll stable. If he can back that level of performance up, he could prove tough to beat. Anna Of Saxony completes the shortlist.

SULLIVAN BAY landed a gamble on his first outing for this yard at Chelmsford recently and remains well treated, so he's preferred to Payment Plan, who should benefit from the longer trip. Sir Joseph Swan, who was second to the selection last time, is another one worthy of respect.

The suggestion is SULLIVAN BAY, who got his career back on track when scoring for his new stable at Chelmsford last week.

Kodi Red makes a quick reappearance after winning at Chelmsford four days ago, but he carries a 5lb penalty for that success and PRINCE OF BEL LIR makes more appeal. The latter finished clear of the rest when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and looks set to strike with Kaiya Fraser's claim negating a 3lb rise. Carlton And Co may well launch another challenge from the front having found only one too good at Newcastle, while Formby should be noted on his handicap debut.

PRINCE OF BEL LIR bounced back to form last time having slipped to an appealing mark and, having found only one too good, he's fancied to make amends in what looks quite a competitive race for the grade. Willolarupi and Formby head the dangers.

Formby and Carlton And Co can go well but PRINCE OF BEL LIR (nap) looks ready to strike after a good run at Wolverhampton.

A winner at Wolverhampton in November 2023, MET OFFICE has returned to a winning mark and caught the eye finishing strongly for fourth at Kempton last time. That effort suggests his turn is not far away and John Butler's inmate may edge affairs. Melek Alreeh returns to this venue for the first time since scoring here in March and can have a say in the outcome, while Thrilling Dream drops back in distance with a shout having landed a double at Leicester in July.

MET OFFICE has tumbled in the weights and looked back in form last time, so he's worth taking a chance on. Kinetic could resume progress and looks appealing, with Alrazeen completing the shortlist.

Preference is for the versatile ALRAZEEN, who got back on track with a near miss behind a well-backed rival at Wolverhampton latest.

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.
