7/5(-9%)
(6) The Happy Chapati 7/5, Champs Elysees gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart bumper winner/top-class hurdler The New One. Very interesting newcomer.

Matchadam

2.75
11/4(+17%)
(4) Matchadam 11/4, Picked up for £50,000 after getting on top close home in his sole point last November. 8/1 and tongue tied, showed promise when fourth of 13 in a Hereford bumper on Rules debut 6 weeks ago.
Wasn't far away with a tongue-tie fitted at Hereford and that form has substance.

Caher Roes Den

2.75
11/4(-22%)
(1) Caher Roes Den 11/4, Bought for £110,000 after winning an Irish point in April. Market confidence would look highly significant for a stable which won a listed bumper at Cheltenham last month.
Bought for £110,000 after winning a 16-runner Irish point; interesting.

Strong As Steel

12/1(-50%)
(5) Strong As Steel 12/1, Phoenix Reach colt. Brother to bumper winner/fair hurdler Samson's Reach. Newcomer from a stable with a healthy 11-48 record in bumpers in the last 5 seasons.
Brother to bumper and 2m3f/2m5f hurdle winner Samson's Reach; yard does well in bumpers.

16/1(-14%)
(3) Galway Reel 16/1, Highland Reel gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including high-class hurdler/useful chaser Wicklow Brave. Makes paper appeal.
Half-brother to seven winners notably high-class dual-purpose performer Wicklow Brave.
LTO Selection:

12:10 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point winner Matchadam made an encouraging start to his career under Rules when fourth at Hereford, while Caher Roes Den also struck between the flags and joined the Brookhouse team for 110,000 pounds after that success back in the spring. THE HAPPY CHAPATI doesn't have the advantage of previous competitive action, but he is a 78,000-pounds half-brother to former top-class hurdler The New One so is worth chancing on debut.

An interesting opener despite the lack of numbers. The suggestion is The New One's half-brother THE HAPPY CHAPATI, although a strong market move for Ben Brookhouse point recruit Caher Roes Den would put a slightly different slant on things given that the yard has the smart Brechin Castle to compare him to. Matchadam brings some fair form to the table courtesy of his Hereford fourth.

The Happy Chapati is of obvious interest but preference is for CAHER ROES DEN, whose yard has some good bumper horses.

By The Grace

Evens(+0%)
(1) By The Grace Evens, Second in a course bumper on turf on her debut in May and ran to a similar level when third (Dropitlikeitshot 5 lengths back in fourth) on Lingfield's AW 6 months later. Probably the one to beat for top stable.
Placed on both starts and a likely contender again here.

(9) The Secret Pearl 10/3, Runner-up on her final start in Irish points and made a solid start to her Rules career when 8 lengths second of 16 at Warwick 25 days ago. Bold show likely.
Made pleasing start to rules career when second of 16 at Warwick last month; good chance.

Storm Spirit

(8) Storm Spirit 11/1, Went down by only a neck on her Newcastle debut in February. Disappointed at Wetherby 5 weeks later but unlikely to be far away if recapturing the debut form on her return from an 8-month break.
Not seen since poor turf run in March but went close on Tapeta debut in February.

(3) Dropitlikeitshot 15/2, Pour Moir filly who is stoutly bred so it's encouraging that she could muster the speed to finish fourth of 14 in an AW bumper at Lingfield last month. This stiffer course should suit but she has 5 lengths to make up on By The Grace from Lingfield.
Behind By The Grace but still made promising debut when fourth at Lingfield.

Not beaten far at Huntingdon in October but the form may not be reliable.

Karman Line

16
16/1(+52%)
(5) Karman Line 16/1, 22/1, well-held sixth of 8 in bumper at Fakenham on debut 3 weeks ago. Probably booked for another struggle.

LTO Selection:

12:40 Southwell Maiden (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

BY THE GRACE will have given connections plenty of encouragement with her second on debut on the turf track here back in May, and confirmed that promise when again making the frame on her Lingfield return. That proved her ability to handle an artificial surface and she is taken to break through. Storm Spirit is also adept on the all-weather because she was only just denied on her Newcastle introduction prior to a less inspiring Wetherby effort. The Secret Pearl's Warwick second entitles her to lots of respect too.

This looks a decent chance for BY THE GRACE to get off the mark at the third time of asking. Warwick runner-up The Secret Pearl is feared most ahead of Dropitlikeitshot, who was 5 lengths behind the selection when fourth on her Lingfield debut.

The pick is STORM SPIRIT, who disappointed on turf in March but made a promising debut on this surface at Newcastle in February.

Little Peter

5/1(-25%)
(11) Little Peter 5/1, Game winner of a Worcester bumper in September and shaped as if in need of the experience switched to hurdling 8 weeks on at Doncaster. Likely type if he takes to AW.

(8) Cuban Court 9/1, Made a winning debut in 4-runner Fontwell bumper in April 2022 and showed even better form in defeat after a year off when runner-up at Doncaster. Poor since, including on hurdles bow last month, but dangerous to dismiss. Engaged 12.21 Doncaster Saturday.
Ran to a respectable level when fourth at Doncaster on Saturday.

Libby

14

LTO Selection:

13:10 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Libby's official rating would give her obvious claims, but she is flattered by it if her runs since arriving from Ireland are a reliable indication of her current ability. Choirmaster, Brian's Jet and Chadlington Lad have similar marks and have experience of handicaps, but a chance is taken on DARK MYSTERY. The Ben Brookhouse-trained four-year-old showed up for a long way in a good Kempton contest last Christmas, and was last seen running fairly off a figure of 68 on the level.

Hard to get a gauge on this but LITTLE PETER was a bumper winner in September and has few miles on the clock. A big run could be on the way under Harry Cobden. Riccirella and Dark Mystery might be a couple of the other more interesting ones.

Flat form could prove of greater significance than hurdling exploits and that angle makes BLOW YOUR HORN (nap) a strong contender.

Supremely West

0.533333
8/15(-6%)
(8) Supremely West 8/15, Unbeaten in bumpers and bright start over hurdles in recent months, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts in a Sedgefield novice (19.8f) 24 days ago. Looks hard to oppose reverting back to bumper company.
3-3 in bumpers and 2-3 over hurdles; stands out as the one to beat.
2
(2) Filanderer (11/2 +0%)
Filanderer

5.5
11/2(+0%)
(2) Filanderer 11/2, Warwick bumper winner who hasn't progressed over hurdles, well held in big-field Exeter handicap (16.7f) on his latest start 23 days ago. That was his first start for 6 months but he does need to settle better.
0-7 over hurdles but interesting now back in a bumper having won one in 2021.

(4) Minella Choice (11/1 -47%)
Minella Choice

11
11/1(-47%)
(4) Minella Choice 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well backed and ran best race yet when third on handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (20.6f) back in April. Claims of hitting the frame on return in a race lacking depth.
Solid efforts when third over hurdles in the spring; could give a good account.

11/1(-22%)
(1) Ez Tiger 11/1, Benefited from chasing a strong pace when opening hurdles account here (15.8f) in July. Good second next time and yet to be asked for his effort when falling 2 out at Hereford (16.2f) 6 weeks ago. However, he may have to settle for a minor role back in this sphere.
Running well over hurdles this season but at a modest level; something to find.

Hasn't threatened over hurdles but was runner-up in two bumpers; not ruled out each-way.

Passengerontheship

80
80/1(-21%)
(6) Passengerontheship 80/1, Placed in an Irish point, but low-key start in trio of quick-fire maiden/novice hurdle runs of late. Low-grade handicaps in that sphere will be more his bag.
Third in Irish 4yo maiden point in May but well beaten at big odds on his three rules runs.
LTO Selection:

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

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

SUPREMELY WEST has been a very progressive sort under Rules, winning five of his six appearances, and Dr Richard Newland's charge ticks plenty of the right boxes competing on these terms. Minella Choice is rated 18lb inferior to the selection over hurdles but the seven-year-old appears the chief threat, ahead of Jimmy Boy, who may be perked up by the application of a first-time visor.

Unbeaten in 3 starts in bumpers, SUPREMELY WEST has continued the good work over hurdles, making it 2 wins from 3 starts in that sphere at Sedgefield 24 days ago. This looks a good opportunity for him to enhance his already impressive strike rate. Filanderer and Minella Choice may give him most to think about.

The stand-out candidate is SUPREMELY WEST, who was 3-3 in bumpers last season and has comfortably won novice hurdles the last twice.

Dual bumper winner; in good form over hurdles when last seen in spring; not ruled out.

Flat winner in 2022 but struggled off lowly mark on recent handicap hurdle debut.
LTO Selection:

14:20 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

WHIZZ KID shaped far better than the beaten distance suggested when fourth at Newbury last month and the seven-year-old looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to regain the winning thread. Sarsons Risk is a useful performer on the Flat and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the upwardly-mobile Russian Virtue, who was last seen springing a surprise in a handicap hurdle at Carlisle in October.

A case can be made for a few of these but SARSONS RISK made a promising return when fifth on the Flat at Newcastle recently and this fairly useful Flat/hurdles scorer can make a winning debut in this sphere now. Rebecca Menzies holds a strong hand and her duo Russian Virtue and Show No Fear can both have a say along with Brian Ellison's Kiss My Face.

Preference is for SARSONS RISK, who returned from a break with a very encouraging run in a 2m Flat handicap on this surface last month.

Below best last term but useful bumper form early in career.

11yo who showed as recently as March that he retains considerable spark; could go well.

Go Fox

(3) Go Fox 33/1, Took advantage of a much-reduced mark when successful at Fakenham in June and followed up at Stratford (17f) 16 days later. Generally poor efforts since, though, and likely to be outclassed here. Engaged 2.06 Doncaster Saturday.
Two-time Flat winner; two chase wins this June but has struggled since; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

14:55 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

CAPTAIN MORGS bounced back to form when second over fences at Huntingdon a month ago and Nicky Henderson's gelding is hard to oppose in a race of this nature. Punxsutawney Phil won a bumper on Tapeta on his debut at Newcastle back in 2021 and he should not be underestimated as a result, while Top Ville Ben completes the shortlist.

TOP VILLE BEN and Captain Morgs are much the best of these over jumps, with preference for the more reliable former despite his bad Aintree experience 5 weeks ago.

The Nicky Henderson-trained CAPTAIN MORGS is a useful hurdler and chaser, and he earns the vote.

Grozni

Evens(+44%)
(5) Grozni Evens, Bumper winner who was a fairly useful hurdler/chaser for previous yard. In good form when last seen in the summer and big shout in this field.
Won over fences on final run for Charles Byrnes; has won a bumper too; leading claims.

(6) Homme D'un Soir 8/1, Pretty useful for Stuart Crawford though let down by jumping both starts for previous yard. Bumper winner on his debut so not taken lightly back in this sphere.
Useful in his prime but his form has become patchy and he has something to prove.

9/1(-11%)
(2) Boomslang 9/1, Placed both starts in bumpers and fair form over hurdles, though was pulled up when last seen in June.
Needs a couple of these to underperform if he's to win but he's been placed in bumpers.

10/3(-56%)
(1) Baron De Midleton 10/3, Three small-field chase wins in blinkers last season. Shaped as if better for his recent return over hurdles at Carlisle. Likely player in this company.
Return to form needed but he's a useful campaigner; has run well in one of these before.

(3) Elleon 14/1, Yet to win over jumps but often placed and was a bumper winner 4 years ago.
Consistent in handicap chases over the last 12 months but likely up against it today.

(7) Malina Jamila 16/1, Listed bumper winner at Huntingdon and also won a hurdle there last May. No show last 3 starts, however.
Listed bumper winner in December 2021 but her form has gone the wrong way over hurdles.

(4) Gms Prince (28/1 -75%)
Gms Prince

(4) Gms Prince 28/1, Fair form over hurdles and not disgraced back from a long absence when fourth at Stratford.
Returned from long absence with fair run over hurdles but 0-9 and others have better form.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Southwell Stakes (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GROZNI accounted for a useful rival when winning a bumper at Market Rasen back in May 2021 and he has gone on to have a successful career over hurdles and fences subsequently. The seven-year-old could make a successful debut for these connections, although Baron De Midleton and Gms Prince are more than capable of giving him plenty to think about.

There isn't much between GROZNI, Baron de Midleton and Homme d'un Soir on their best form over jumps with the first named perhaps the most solid option starting out for James Owen.

Bumper winner GROZNI posted a career-best performance when winning over fences in August and can follow up on his stable debut.

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.
