16:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far when only weakening at the finish over C&D last time out, BERNARD SPIERPOINT has done very well since joining the Darryll Holland stable and this looks like another ideal opportunity. Rogue De Vega has strong claims on his penultimate second over C&D, while So Smart has dropped back to his last winning mark of 67. Loco Lobo and So Grateful are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

While SO SMART's record on the all-weather doesn't augur particularly well, these waters are calmer than those that he usually finds himself in and the 5-y-o is taken to emerge on top. Bernard Spierpoint is proving fairly consistent and is likely to give another good account, while So Grateful will have claims if on-song, a remark which also applies to Snow Berry.

So Smart and SO GRATEFUL (nap) look the best handicapped runners in the field and the latter is fancied to gain a fourth course win.

17:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Runner-up on both career outings, including over further here last time out, AT NO TIME sets the standard on form and the drop in trip may prove ideal for this well-bred daughter of Galileo. Maenad showed marginal improvement from first to second start when fourth here last month and she is a player, along with Capla Lazarus, who has the potential to improve for going up in distance.

This looks a good opportunity for AT NO TIME, who again found just one too good here recently and this Galileo filly appeals as the type who will continue to improve with experience. Nala The Lioness showed plenty of ability in bumpers and won't go down without a fight if at her best on debut in this sphere following seven months off. Maenad is open to improvement and is best of the rest.

The addition of cheekpieces can help AT NO TIME break her duck at the third attempt. Maenad is feared most.

17:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

A half-brother to a French 1m3f winner, HEBRIDEAN NOMAD could easily improve for going up in trip following a determined success over 1m at Kempton when last seen in September 2023. He is preferred to the hat-trick-seeking Molinari and Orange N Blue, who could be interesting on his first start for new connections. Sol Cayo and Timetobenice can have a say in proceedings as well.

Low-mileage 3-y-o TIMETOBENICE was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when fourth over 9.5f at Wolverhampton last week and, granted better luck back up in trip here, he could be the answer. The one with the most striking potential is Hebridean Nomad, who landed a Kempton novice on the second of his two starts as a juvenile. He should be suited by this stiffer test now handicapping and it will be interesting to see how he shapes up in the betting. The in-form Molinari is best of the rest.

The unknown quantity is HEBRIDEAN NOMAD who could easily be on a lenient mark. In-form Molinari looks best of the rest.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

The unexposed ALTMORE wasn't able to defy an 11lb hike in the ratings at Doncaster last month but conditions were incredibly testing that day, and he can be given another chance. The son of Showcasing will have challenges aplenty including Aramis Grey, who finished fourth in the Ayr Gold Cup, and Sommelier on his first appearance since finishing down the field at Royal Ascot. The hat-trick seeking Stanley Spencer is noted, as is Ingra Tor, who was just touched off at Wolverhampton last month.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap with ROUSING ENCORE shading preference ahead of Jenever and Stanley Spencer. The selection has been in top form since joining the Ruth Carr yard during the summer and his close third in a big-field Doncaster handicap 10 days ago was another very solid effort. Stanley Spencer is up in class and the weights but is clearly on a roll and he has to be feared. However, Jenever is just about second choice. Ingra Tor is also shortlisted.

A deep race in which the in-form 5yo INGRA TOR is marginally preferred to Sommelier and Drama.

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MY AWELE bounced back to form when winning over 5f here last month and, given that the runner-up has since run well, an 8lb rise might not stop the lightly-raced daughter of U S Navy Flag. Rosa Applause still has a bit to prove from her current rating but can at least be expected to make a good fist of things, while Champagne Sarah appeals most of the remainder.

MY AWELE should prove suited by this step back up in trip so is fancied to follow up her recent course success despite taking a 8 lb hike in the weights. Rosa Applause is feared most on the back of her good Newbury third, with Exponista also worthy of consideration.

The vote goes to dual course winner MY AWELE, who may well be capable of further progress. Rosa Applause is feared most.

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

Swift Storm sets the standard with an official rating of 78 and although he might benefit from a drop in trip, ZIP IT UP is hard to oppose. Richard Hannon's filly bolted up at Kempton on her racecourse bow and despite the penalty, natural progress can see her repeat the dose. Zepparella failed to fire on her debut but she should know more this time around.

ZIP IT UP looked a good prospect when routing her field on her debut at Kempton and is impossible to oppose. Mick Appleby's newcomer Grabajabba could emerge as the pick of the rest ahead of Swift Storm and Zepparella.

Richard Hannon's ZIP IT UP fairly bolted up at Kempton and the runner-up isn't a bad horse at all. Swift Storm has to be feared.

JAZZY ANGEL makes most appeal in an open contest, given she has been raised only 2lb after notching up her third win on the Tapeta with last month's success at Wolverhampton. Beyond Words scored over course and distance on her handicap bow and can feature again having failed to get a clear run at Kempton last time, while Stratocracy narrowly beat the previous course winner Triggerman here and that pair are hard to separate.

JAZZY ANGEL bagged her third victory on tapeta at Wolverhampton last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. She may be able to score again here. Triggerman and Beyond Words are also of interest.

A tricky puzzle in which it may pay to give top weight BEYOND WORDS another chance to confirm the promise of her C&D win in August.

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MERCURIUS POWER won over course and distance in August and found only one too good at Newcastle last time. The six-year-old gets another chance off his current mark and is taken to confirm latest running with the consistent Barleybrown. The latter looks likely to have a say in proceedings once again, while Rwenearlytheredad has only his second start on the all-weather having landed a double on turf with a recent success at Redcar.

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD is on the up and still unexposed over 1m, so he's fancied to complete the hat-trick under another positive ride, acknowledging this looks competitive for the grade. Barleybrown and Mercurius Power are two of several dangers.

Mercurius Power and BARLEYBROWN are closely matched on a recent Newcastle run. This race may set up better for the selection.

ELETTARIA caught the eye finishing with a late flourish to take third at Newcastle a fortnight ago. Beaten less than a length on that occasion, a return to winning ways looks imminent. Fitz Perfectly has yet to win, but went close to doing so at Wolverhampton last week and has a shout competing off the same mark, while Yaahobby is not easily dismissed if staying this extra furlong and Shaka could also get involved.

FITZ PERFECTLY came clear of the remainder with a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton 8 days ago and, with a reproduction of that effort, she should be hard to beat from a good draw. Elettaria is a danger and Star of Atlantis is of interest down in grade on her second outing for Jack Jones.

Last week's near miss at Wolverhampton suggests FITZ PERFECTLY is well handicapped and she can belatedly gain her first win.

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.
