Theformismighty

2.75
11/4(-10%)
(3) Theformismighty 11/4, Expensive point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Market Rasen in March. Type to make a better chaser and made a promising start over fences when fourth at Chepstow on return. Can build on that with headgear applied.
Irish point winner; plenty to like about chase debut over 2m3f in higher grade; improve.

(5) Awaythelad 4/1, A dual winning hurdler around 2m4f who shaped well on his first go over fences when third of 11 in handicap chase at Lingfield (20f, good) 21 days ago. That form has been franked so a bold showing is on the cards.
Failed to go on in handicap hurdles but his recent 2m4f chase debut was a good start.

Yes Day

2.5
5/2(+38%)

10/1(+29%)
(2) Champagnesuperover 10/1, Dual chaser winner around 3m in spring 2022. Lightly raced since and considerately handled when tenth of 15 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Since had a wind op and he's one to keep an eye on.
Lightly raced now but on a low mark on past form and strongly hinted at revival latest.

Imac Wood

12
12/1(+14%)
(9) Imac Wood 12/1, Resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter in July but only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Warwick (20f, good) 28 days ago. Others are more persuasive.
Six chase wins; below best in last two starts and will do well to add to haul here.

Heroique De Maulde

18
18/1(-64%)
(10) Heroique De Maulde 18/1, Scored at Doncaster in February 2023, for James Ewart. Looked rusty after 18 months off for his new yard when twelfth of 15 in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, soft) 20 days ago. Can take a step forward.
Three chase wins in France and Britain; low-key start for this yard back from absence.

40/1(-21%)
(6) Russian Ruler 40/1, Ended last term out of sorts for Nicky Henderson, fourteenth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Aintree (24.7f, good to soft) in April. Reverts to fences with lots more required on yard debut.
Promising chase debut but had unhappy experiences since; well treated for new yard.

12:15 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

THEFORMISMIGHTY made a promising start to his chasing career with a respectable fourth-placed finish over the extended 2m3f at Chepstow in October and could find the addition of cheekpieces unlocks another gear, with the additional yardage also a likely source of improvement. Awaythelad and Yes Day both have similar profiles to the selection and also need serious consideration. Sainte Doctor holds a solid each-way chance.

Ben Pauling's AWAYTHELAD made a promising start over fences when a recent third at Lingfield and with that form working out well he looks the way to go. Both Theformismighty and Yes Day have better days ahead of them too and can have a say, while chasing newcomers Jaramillo and Kaituna River also bring potential in this intriguing handicap.

Theformismighty should be winning over fences soon but YES DAY also made a good impression on his chase debut and is preferred.

12:45 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Last-time-out winners NEIGH BOTHA and Haafback are suggested as the pair to focus on. Although a surprise winner on the day, the latter won with something in hand at Ludlow on his chasing debut and must rate a player off just 1lb higher. Nevertheless, the former has a stronger overall profile and could be up to giving weight away all round with his proven liking for this venue a big plus. Ben Buie and Havock complete the shortlist.

EXTRAORDINARY MAN teed himself up well for this when an encouraging reappearance fourth at Hereford and can capitalise on a lenient mark. Neigh Botha could emerge as the main danger on the back of his recent C&D success, with Ludlow victor Haafback also in the mix.

After a fair run last time EXTRAORDINARY MAN can win his second race over fences on his second run since wind surgery.

25
25/1(-25%)
(5) One Knight 25/1, Sent off at 100/30 when last of 11 in bumper at Warwick in April (only start for Toby Lawes). His strength in the betting suggests better was expected and it'll be interesting to see if his supporters' return setting out for a new yard.

Star Artist

13:15 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BERKENSHTAAAP was purchased for 45,000 pounds after winning an Irish point in May and Olly Murphy's gelding merits the utmost respect on his Rules debut. Star Artist was not disgraced when filling fourth place on his racecourse bow in a Huntingdon bumper earlier in the year and he should not be discounted. Others to note are Hestina Hill and Dramatic Encore.

There's a few interesting sorts among the Rules newcomers, none more so than Dan Skelton's HESTINA HILL, who gets the nod before any market clues are known. Irish point recruits Berkenshtaaap and Dramatic Encore are other likely types for whom the betting should be informative, while Star Artist looks pick of those with experience.

Berkenshtaaap is an interesting recruit but STAR ARTIST made a good start to his career in the spring and should come on plenty.

No show in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham but back on track when runner-up at Newbury in March. Disappointing on return but he's in the right hands.

13:45 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Le Fauve was highly tried as a juvenile but was slightly disappointing when a well-held third on his return at Chepstow in October. A subsequent wind operation may help his chances here, but preference is for JORDANS CROSS. The son of Berkshire won between the flags and filled second place on his Rules debut in a Chepstow bumper. With the benefit of that experience, he could be hard to stop. Law Of The Sea is another with valid form claims.

Having won an Irish point, JORDANS CROSS showed plenty to work on when second in a Chepstow bumper a month ago and he's the most appealing option now hurdling. Le Fauve is a huge threat on the pick of last season's form, with Law of The Sea the type to go on improving over obstacles.

Preference is for Irish point winner JORDANS CROSS, who began his rules career with a good second in a Chepstow bumper last month.

14:15 Southwell Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DISGUISEDLIMIT may have been well held when filling third place on his Rules debut at Chepstow last month, but that was a competitive event and the former point-to-point winner should be capable of going well in this company. Daytime Dreaming may prove to be the main threat following his encouraging effort at Uttoxeter in October, while any market support for Bank On Frank would have to be noted.

DAYTIME DREAMING's hurdling debut form is working out well and this looks a winnable maiden for him. Most Wanted was too fresh on his belated comeback/hurdling debut at Kempton but he was fairly useful on the Flat for his previous yard so isn't taken lightly with that run under his belt, with newcomer Bank On Frank another to note.

Disguisedlimit can improve if more relaxed this time but a safer option is DAYTIME DREAMING, who shaped well on his hurdling debut.

(2) Space Voyage 18/1, Bounced back to form to win a 2½m Perth handicap in April and made a respectable return from 6 months off when sixth of 12 at Wincanton (21f) 24 days ago. No surprise were she to go well having dipped to the mark she defied at Perth.
Looked to have share of weight since 2m4f win in April and minor form at 3m previously.

(5) Tribal Glory 22/1, Point winner who landed a Worcester bumper last summer. Filled the runner-up spot in Newton Abbot maidens on first 2 starts over hurdles but made an underwhelming start to his handicap career at Market Rasen 19 days ago. Up in trip.
Should be capable of better in handicaps but stamina to prove upped to 3m.

(4) Farmer's Gamble 50/1, Exeter handicap hurdle winner in February 2023 but has found life tough since, pulling up back hurdling at Newbury when last seen in March. Mr Hope Street looks very much the yard first string unless the betting strongly hints otherwise.
Latest staying win in early 2023; nothing comparable since; revival possible off good mark.

14:45 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

The progressive Craven Bay regained the winning thread when drawing clear of his rivals at Kempton eight days ago. However, a 7lb penalty and quick turnaround may be enough to weigh him down and MR HOPE STREET makes slightly more appeal up in distance. The son of Jet Away arrives on the back of a solid second and this first attempt over 3m may see him back in the winner's enclosure. Space Voyage may fare best of the remainder.

MR HOPE STREET is taken to continue his improvement now moving up to 3m for the first time. Toonagh Warrior is another stepping up in distance and will be a threat if his stamina holds. Craven Bay isn't obviously well treated under a 7 lb penalty but should also have a part to play in his current vein of form.

Craven Bay and Mr Hope Street are respected but BURROWS HALL is preferred from the bottom of the weights.

20/1(+0%)
(16) Miss Applejack 20/1, A fair bumper winner but she's yet to score in this sphere (0-9 over hurdles) and hopes now pinned on the first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap helping to spark improvement.
Bumper winner; poor over hurdles; tongue-tie and cheekpieces now tried; 2lb out the h'cap.

(7) Skiffle Man 3/1, Midfield at best in his qualifying runs but has hinted at promise and will likely come into his own now upped in trip on handicap debut for his top stable. Sports first-time cheekpieces/tongue strap and it'll be interesting to see if support arrives for this 5-y-o.
Well beaten in 3 novice hurdles; may fare better with headgear up in trip on h'cap debut.

(6) Moor End 22/1, Didn't shape at all badly when third on debut in a bumper here in February. Has failed to trouble the judge in 2 completed starts over hurdles but it wouldn't be a surprise were he to show himself in a better light now handicapping. One to note in the betting.
100-1 third in a bumper on debut; ordinary form over hurdles so far; probably best watched.

(13) Well Done Dani 9/1, Landed a 14-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (2¼m, good) in September that produced winners and nothing wrong with a brace of placed efforts since. Likely to be in the mix once again.
Has won 3 over hurdles, latest in September; good 2nd latest; acts on good to soft; chance.

Parish Star

25
25/1(-25%)
(14) Parish Star 25/1, Modest form on the Flat in Ireland and made little impact over hurdles last season. Showed some spark following a wind op when fourth of 15 back from an 8-month break at (2½m, good to soft), finishing under a length adrift of Kingoftheswingerz. More will be needed if she's to take this, though.
12-race maiden; good run when back after wind op when 2nd last time; worth considering.

Aquitaine Boy

20/1(-82%)
(4) Aquitaine Boy 20/1, Little impact in various race-types for James Ewart but, back from nearly 3 years off, he belied odds of 40/1 when making a winning start for this yard in a 15.8f novice here (good) in May. Had fortune on his side that day but it was a significant step forward all the same and he needs considering.
Won Southwell maiden hurdle in June (form sound); back up in trip; solid chance.

Glimpse Of Glory

3.5
7/2(+65%)
(3) Glimpse Of Glory 7/2, Shaped with promise when placed in a couple of juvenile events during the spring, following which he was a good second to a progressive type on handicap debut at Southwell (15.8f, soft) in June. Has failed to build on that in 2 subsequent starts but it's still early days for this 4-y-o. Considered.
Placed in 2 juvenile events and 2nd on h'cap debut but not at his best last twice.

(5) Kingoftheswingerz 12/1, Went the wrong way in second half of last season but back on track following a wind op with a tongue strap enlisted when second in a 15-runner Ffos Las handicap (2½m, good to soft) last month. Should be on the premises here, provided he is able to build on that effort.
0-7 over hurdles but good second at Ffos Las on reappearance; should come on for that.

Let's Sail Away

6/1(+25%)
(1) Let's Sail Away 6/1, Winner of sole start between the flags last December. Best effort of his 3 under Rules so far was when fourth of 13 in a Uttoxeter maiden (15.7f, heavy) but not so good either side of that and his attitude doesn't appear to be all it could be. Step forward needed on this handicap bow.
UK point winner; fair form over hurdles; interesting up in trip on handicap debut; player.

Pacific

(11) Pacific 10/1, Showed ability in maiden/novice company and sound start to handicap career when third in 2½m Hereford mares' event on return in October. Failed to build on that at Warwick (2m, good) next time but eased 2 lb since and perhaps worth another chance now that she steps back up in trip.
Second in a Stratford novice in June; fair runs in two handicaps since; each-way chance.

11th (2) Star Legend (11/1 +0%)
Star Legend

11
11/1(+0%)
(2) Star Legend 11/1, Runner-up twice over hurdles in June and also performed with credit when fourth at Stratford the following month. However, he proved a let-down back hurdling in a Huntingdon selling handicap 3 weeks ago and while this step back up in trip is no bad thing, others make more appeal.
Maiden hurdle winner last November; some fair form since; poor run latest; bit to prove.

(10) Pop The Question 80/1, Winning pointer who caused something of a surprise when making a successful debut under Rules in 2½m Hexham maiden in June. However, that was a weak race and she's had her limitations exposed since. Now tried in a tongue strap.
Won maiden point in May and maiden hurdle in June; not done as well since; more needed.

(8) Military Tycoon 40/1, Fairly useful Flat winner but below par both starts on the level this year and offered little on last month's reappearance/handicap debut in this sphere.
Ex-Hugo Palmer; 1m6f Flat winner; disappointing for this yard and plenty to prove.

Deal Em High

(15) Deal Em High 28/1, Returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces and tongue strap at Bangor (16.7f, good) in September. However, the headgear (on again here) failed to work equally well second time round at Exeter and he is hard to warm to on the back of that.
Inconsistent; good third with headgear at Bangor in September but poor run last time.

Fair form in Ireland; not shown much in handicaps for new yard and best watched for now.

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

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

Kingoftheswingerz offered a lot more encouragement when second on his seasonal debut at Ffos Las last month and a 1lb rise shouldn't prevent another good account. That said, there are some interesting handicap debutants that may have his measure in point-to-point winner Let's Sail Away and SKIFFLE MAN, with marginal preference for the latter. The Dan Skelton-trained gelding is a full-brother to the useful stayer Tim Pat and this step up in distance could pay dividends.

It's likely that SKIFFLE MAN will leave his low-key novice efforts well behind now faced with a stiffer test and sent handicapping off an opening mark that probably underestimates him. The hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. While Aquitaine Boy probably would've finished second had the eventual runner-up not hit the final flight here in May, it was a much-improved effort whichever way you look at it and he is next best ahead of Glimpse of Glory and Pacific.

The lightly raced AQUITAINE BOY (nap) is taken to win his second race here with the step up to 2m4f expected to suit him.

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.
