LTO Selection:

16:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

This looks open on paper and only a tentative vote can go to RIYADH GEM. Picked up for 10,000gns as a yearling, the Oasis Dream colt fetched 150,000 euros at the Breeze-Ups earlier this year but hasn't yet been able to justify that price tag. However, a step up in trip looks certain to suit while the switch to nurseries, off an opening mark of 67, is another interesting angle. Yarmouth scorer Fernando merits respect from 4lb higher, while others to note include Anthropologist and Montbeliarde.

FERNANDO showed improved form to get off the mark on nursery debut at Yarmouth last month and Ed Walker's charge can make light of a 4 lb rise at the expense of Anthropologist, who found a jolt of progress to open his account at Newcastle a fortnight ago and could kick on now up and running. Montbeliarde and Queen of Good News can fight out minor honours.

Montbeliarde has bumped into a couple of handicap blots and should run well but NIDAAMI is an interesting runner now up in trip.

3.333333
10/3(-11%)
(4) Rogue Encore 10/3, Back on the up since cheekpieces went on, making it back-to-back wins in Newcastle handicaps at 1m in recent weeks. Merits consideration in hat-trick bid under a penalty.
Bids for hat-trick after a pair of 1m wins at Newcastle; can go well despite 6lb penalty.

Helm Rock

(5) Helm Rock 4/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 but given a chance by the assessor and he looked unlucky not to win when second of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 14 days ago, just failing. Very much on the shortlist nudged up just 1 lb.
On long losing run but back on track with Chelmsford second latest; weighted to go close.

(1) Waiting All Night (13/2 +19%)
Waiting All Night

6.5
13/2(+19%)
(1) Waiting All Night 13/2, Tasted success twice on July Course at Newmarket this summer. 9/2, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap on Rowley Mile Course back there 3 weeks ago and not discounted boasting a low-mileage profile on synthetics.
Good fourth of nine in 1m Newmarket handicap 19 days ago; ought to be thereabouts.

Won at Chelmsford in October and solid third there latest; up 4lb but not taken lightly.

Spirit Of Acklam

(12) Spirit Of Acklam 8/1, Dual winner who got back on track following 5 months off when third at Ayr (10f) in October. Didn't shape badly when fifth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, heavy) 31 days ago and this low-mileage sort remains one to be positive about. Tapeta debut.
Lightly raced since winning return and fifth at Pontefract latest; could still do better.

Cynosure

11
11/1(-10%)
(7) Cynosure 11/1, Well-bred sort who was well on top at the line when opening his account in Lingfield novice (1m) in April. Stamina appeared stretched upped to 10f on handicap debut a month later but no surprise to see him resume progress after 6 months off/returned to all weather.
Off since last on handicap debut at Newmarket in May; needs to hit the ground running.

Gunlock

12
12/1(+0%)
(6) Gunlock 12/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in a Newcastle maiden (1m) in April. Disappointing since, including in handicaps when last seen in June. Absent since but too soon to be writing him off.
Looked a good prospect when scoring at Newcastle in April but failed to go on in handicaps.

Maggie's Way

16
16/1(+20%)
(3) Maggie's Way 16/1, Largely held her form well after making a winning return last season but well below best both starts upon returning from an absence last month. Mark has eased further but more positive signs needed before becoming of interest.
Yet to fire at Newmarket and Newbury this autumn; needs to take a big step forward.

(8) Imperial Fighter 40/1, Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 80/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 31 days ago, ridden 2f out and never involved. Hard to warm to at present.
17 outings since his last win and comes here well below par; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

17:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ROGUE ENCORE might be one to look out for over the winter months and, following a brace of successes at Newcastle, the improving three-year-old is taken to defy a penalty and complete his hat-trick. That said, Helm Rock appeared to be an unlucky loser when second at Chelmsford a fortnight ago and he merits respect from just 1lb higher. Waiting All Night will look to lead and will be a threat to all, while Chuzzlewit should not be written off now dropped in class.

HELM ROCK has been given a big chance by the handicapper and may well have capitalised with a clear run when just failing to get on top at Chelmsford (1m) 2 weeks ago. He earns the vote to confirm the promise of that run, with hat-trick seeking 3-y-o Rogue Encore next best. Gincident and Waiting All Night are others to consider.

Richard Fahey's GINCIDENT figures on a lenient mark and wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Doncaster last time, so gets the vote.

Highly promising debut fourth at Kempton; can take a major step forward; interesting.

(9) Quirke On Parole 250/1, Without Parole filly who took a small step forward from her debut when eighth of 11 in novice at this course (7.1f) 8 days ago. Still, she's a likely type for handicaps later on.
Hinted at promise when eighth in novice here eight days ago; needs to build on it now.

Being brought along steadily, fifth at Wolver latest; can do better in the longer term.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A couple of interesting newcomers in the shape of Gamrai and Wolfpack are unleashed by their powerful yards and both warrant market checks, but experience could win the day and it is AR RAYYAN who shades preference. Sent off as second favourite and finishing fourth on debut behind a colt deemed good enough for the Futurity at Doncaster last month, Ralph Beckett's charge showed up well for a long way and is expected to step forward.

Despite blowing the start, AR RAYYAN shaped with plenty of encouragement when fourth in a Kempton novice 6 weeks ago, impressing with how he travelled for a long way. Open to significant improvement, he could be worth siding with to confirm the promise of that run and come out on top. Gamrai makes loads of appeal on paper and is respected along with Cy Twombly. Wolfpack and Atlantic Sunset are another pair of newcomers to note.

Ralph Beckett's AR RAYYAN really caught the eye on his Kempton debut fourth and is taken to put that experience to good use.

200-1 when ninth of 12 at Newcastle two weeks ago; work to do with Pride Of Donegal.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Hailing from a family that has had plenty of success in recent years, including with first-time-out winners, WRITTEN FOR YOU could be primed to strike on debut for leading connections. The son of Lope De Vega may have too much for Pride Of Donegal, who rallied well for fourth on debut at Newcastle and is likely to improve plenty for the experience. A promising fifth over shorter here last time out, Hallelujah U should appreciate going back up in trip.

WRITTEN FOR YOU makes plenty of appeal on paper for the Gosden stable, so could be the way to go before market clues in what doesn't appeal as a strong novice. Pride of Donegal rates the pick of those with form and commands respect with progress on the cards. Hallelujah U is another capable of better for the red-hot James Owen yard.

The well-bred Written For You makes plenty of appeal on paper but HALLELUJAH U could yet have a much bigger effort in him.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

CHAMPAGNE PRINCE maintained his unbeaten all-weather record with a comfortable success over C&D last month, and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Not in action since finishing fourth in the Gordon Richards at Sandown in April, Artistic Star has not run outside Group company since May last year and, if ready to roll, he could be thrown in off a mark of 106. Andaleep and Max Mayhem have the form to get involved too.

CHAMPAGNE PRINCE improved for the return to all-weather when scoring over C&D 7 weeks ago and could be up to defying a 5 lb rise given he remains totally unexposed on an artificial surface. Dark Moon Rising is expected to bounce straight back to form after a poor showing in the November Handicap, while the likeable Andaleep and Paradias are others to consider.

Max Mayhem and Artistic Star are high on the list but CHAMPAGNE PRINCE (nap) won well here last month and can defy a 5lb rise.

Banging at the door on AW of late; hard to win with but looks sure to go well once again.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a narrow reversal over C&D on Monday, DASHING HARRY can gain compensation off the same mark on what is just his third start for new connections. Paddy's Day has been knocking on the door of late and is likely to be thereabouts again, while Strong Johnson is big player if bouncing back to the form of his success at Newcastle two starts ago.

DASHING HARRY returned to his best when going down narrowly over C&D 3 days ago and a repeat should see James Horton's charge firmly in the mix once more. Strong Johnson and Paddy's Day may well emerge as the lead dangers.

This should be fast and furious and DASHING HARRY is fancied to atone for Monday's narrow defeat. Strong Johnson is feared most.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In an open event a chance can be taken on RAAGI, who has been off since his debut over C&D in March but Marco Botti's gelding showed plenty of promise on that occasion. Wind River could prove to be the main threat following his handicap second at Newcastle last time. Any market support for either of Khaleejy or Sapience would have to be noted.

WIND RIVER produced an improved effort dropped back in trip when runner-up in a Newcastle handicap at the start of the month and sets a good standard racing over shorter still. Swift Storm showed plenty to like on his first 2 outings and is likely to come on for his recent comeback run, whilst there's plenty to like about James Tate's newcomer Khaleejy on paper.

The inconsistent Wind River is respected but RAAGI is open to improvement and can progress past more exposed rivals.

Not disgraced when third at Yarmouth last month; more needed on her Tapeta debut.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

SIR JOSEPH SWAN bolted up over C&D last week and the six-year-old is very hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite being 6lb higher. Payment Plan beat the selection a couple of weeks ago and has to be of interest once again, while Albert Lasker edges out Uther Pendragon and Dereham to be the pick of the remainder.

PAYMENT PLAN has re-opposing and subsequent winner Sir Joseph Swan just behind him when opening his account over C&D 17 days ago and, remaining with greater potential than most here, John Butler's charge could well be the answer once more. Aforementioned Sir Joseph Swan heads the dangers, ahead of Albert Lasker.

John Butler's progressive PAYMENT PLAN remains unexposed at this trip and he can make light of a 2lb rise for his recent C&D success.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Call Time has to be noted after his success at Bath three weeks ago, but the vote goes to CALL GLORY, who bounced back to form when second over 6f at Wolverhampton on Saturday. Ian Williams' gelding has to be of interest on the back of that performance. Ormolulu made the frame over C&D earlier in the week and could go well once again.

CALL GLORY has tumbled to an attractive mark and ran his best race since joining Ian Williams when second at Wolverhampton under Billy Loughnane on Saturday. He's got strong claims if in the same sort of form here. Ormolulu, Grenham Bay and Shalaa Asker are others to consider.

Well-handicapped CALL GLORY gets the nod after running his best race for Ian Williams at Wolverhampton five days ago.

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.
