15:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Seven Symphonies took his game to a new level when breaking through over C&D, and Highfield Sunshine also showed a liking for this venue when touched off on her second start. They come up against a couple of interesting newcomers, though, not least SADDADD, who is closely related to the high-class Almaqam and has been given an early entry in the Irish 2,000 Guineas. Royal Favour is from a smart South American family and cost 175,000gns as a yearling.

The market should reveal plenty but this could go the way of Roger Varian's Pinatubo newcomer SADDADD who is bred to be well-above average. Highfield Sunshine appeals as the pick of those with experience and is next on the list, with Royal Favour and Seven Symphonies both firmly in the picture too.

This might go to Roger Varian's very well-bred newcomer SADDADD, who is seemingly held in some regard.

80/1(-264%)
(9) Chilli Queen 80/1, Twice-raced maiden, better effort when fifth of 8 in novice at Lingfield (8f, AW, 50/1) 25 days ago, left with lot to do. Can progress further.
Improved from low-key debut when fifth of eight at Lingfield; much more needed here.

1st (7) Pinhole (8/11 +71%)
Pinhole

0.727273
8/11(+71%)
(7) Pinhole 8/11, Frankel colt was very green when a promising fifth of 9 in novice (15/2) at Newmarket (7f, soft) on his debut for Sir Michael Stoute in October. Should take a sizeable step forward. Big shout.
Brother to Group 1 winner Quadrilateral; promising 7f debut; improve for 1m; new yard.

(3) Dixieland Blues 7/2, €170,000Y. Closely related to 11f winner Sisterland and half-brother to 3 winners, including smart at up to 9f Jadoomi and useful 1m-1¼m winner Track of Time. Dam, 7f winner, is a sister to very smart winner up to 1m Tin Horse. Interesting debutant.
170,000euros yearling; siblings include two smart sorts; needs a market check.

Edge Ofthe Unknown

3.333333

(1) Edge Ofthe Unknown 10/3, Promising individual who readily landed 12-runner novice at Newcastle (8f, 9/2) on his debut 37 days ago. Open to improvement.
Well supported for 1m debut at Newcastle when strong finish took him to the front; improve.
6
4th (6) Masubi (7/1 -75%)
Masubi

7
7/1(-75%)
(6) Masubi 7/1, Fair maiden. Gelded before a below-par sixth of 13 in novice (7/2) at Kempton (8f) 10 days ago. The form pick if back on his A-game.
Some of his form reads well but he weakened disappointingly over 1m at Kempton latest.

Kokanee

50
50/1(-25%)

Showed promise on 1m2f debut at Chelmsford; should find this trip more suitable.

Beaten 9l+ in three starts on turf and AW, at 7f and 6f, in the summer; unlikely today.

16:15 Southwell Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Edge Ofthe Unknown made the best possible beginning to his career when winning at Newcastle and he looks a useful prospect. He has to concede 7lb all round and that sways the vote in favour of Frankel colt PINHOLE, who got going too late over 7f at Newmarket but still caught the eye and is fancied to step forward. Masubi showed good ability on his first couple of appearances prior to being gelded and fading into sixth at Kempton. He might be able to see his race out better now.

PINHOLE shaped well on his sole run for Sir Michael Stoute when fifth at Newmarket in the autumn and is taken to make a winning start for another good yard here. The Crisfords' newcomer Dixieland Blues appeals on paper and could prove a big threat though, while Newcastle-scorer Edge of The Unknown and fair-maiden Masubi can't be ruled out either.

Edge Ofthe Unknown is promising but has to concede 7lb to PINHOLE who is likely to flourish now upped to 1m.

Hitched

9
9/1(-170%)
(11) Hitched 9/1, On a 4-timer after wins on 1m AW wins at Lingfield (twice) and Newcastle last month. Even a further 6 lb rise may not stop him.

Imperial Fighter

40
40/1(-21%)
(10) Imperial Fighter 40/1, Useful in his prime but 19 runs since last win in 2021. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (1¼m, 50/1) 11 days ago. Hard to make a case for on recent efforts.
Has unconvincing form figures this year for new stable.

16

(4) He's A Gentleman 12/1, Latest win at Ayr in July. 14/1, creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 28 days ago.
Won off this mark on turf in July; has lacked consistency otherwise this year.

22
22/1(-83%)
(6) Modern Times 22/1, Maiden. 12/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7f) 28 days ago. Has first-time visor added to regular tongue tie. Others are more persuasive.
Chance of opening his account depends on how well he reacts to the headgear.

4

16:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HITCHED burst back into life last month, completing a quickfire hat-trick at Lingfield and Newcastle. He had a subsequent winner back in third when successful at the latter venue so a further 6lb rise may still underestimate him in his current mood. Cosmos Raj failed when on a three-timer of his own at Lingfield but he has been freshened up, although Pasha could turn out to be the bigger threat following a couple decent efforts in defeat since switching to the all-weather.

HITCHED is on a roll and is taken to defy the handicapper again. Feel The Need requires things to fall right but he shaped quite well when running on from too far back at Newcastle last month and is second choice ahead of Pasha.

Assuming he gets better fortune, FEEL THE NEED is taken to open his AW account. Pasha is second choice.

Has failed to progress over 5f; gelded since last run and now attempts new trip.

Mister Mcgregor

18
18/1(+45%)
(9) Mister Mcgregor 18/1, 25/1, ninth of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6f) 12 days ago, very slowly away. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Has unconvincing form figures since switched to AW and needs improvement.
5

Chuti Manika

5.5
11/2(+15%)
(5) Chuti Manika 11/2, Winner at Catterick in July. Good third of 12 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6f, 7/1) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Has to be taken seriously.

Empowered Queen

18

(12) Empowered Queen 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 50 days ago (fourth past the post but subsequently disqualified). Cheekpieces on first time.
Chance of opening her account largely depends on how well she reacts to headgear.
7
5th (7) Laurens Dream (17/2 -21%)
Laurens Dream

8.5
17/2(-21%)
(7) Laurens Dream 17/2, Has thrived for a switch to AW, winning nurseries over 7f and 6f at Newcastle last month. Creditable third of 6 down at 5f there last time and big player back at 6f.
Likely to remain competitive, provided her Newcastle form is transferred to this venue.
11
6th (11) Cosmic Force (11/1 +31%)
Cosmic Force

11
11/1(+31%)
(11) Cosmic Force 11/1, Modest form at best in 3 outings on turf over the summer but could take off in nurseries for his leading yard. It'll be very interesting to see how he compares in the market to the same connections' Sabrimento.
May turn the corner now handicapping on AW (dam won in this sphere).

Looks the type to win a race at some stage; possibilities if taking well to headgear.

17:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LAURENS DREAM remains in cracking form, despite her winning run coming to an end over 5f at Newcastle, and likely to benefit from stepping back up in trip, she rates the one to beat. Chuti Manika was a little unlucky when third at Wolverhampton, having to swerve to avoid a stumbler and then forced to race wide on the bend, and he warrants respect off a 1lb higher mark. Kildonan and Sabrimento are others to note.

A competitive nursery. CHUTI MANIKA wasn't beaten far at Wolverhampton last time, despite meeting trouble, and is given a chance to build on that promise. Laurens Dream lost her unbeaten AW record last time but ran well considering the drop to 5f didn't look ideal and is a likely threat back at 6f. George Boughey pair Sabrimento and Cosmic Force are a few of many others who could go well.

The vote goes to CHUTI MANIKA, who performed well in difficult circumstances last time. Kildonan is second choice.

17:45 Southwell Stakes (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Iberian is best treated at these weights and it will be interesting to see how he fares on his first start since wind surgery, but MISTY GREY looks the most solid option. David O'Meara's charge is the top-rated performer in this line-up and won competitive handicaps at both Newcastle and Epsom prior to a break. If anywhere near full fitness on his return to action, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Significantly might fare best of the remainder.

MISTY GREY has an absence to overcome but still gets the nod in his attempt to bag a hat-trick having been in fine form when last seen in the summer. Significantly also returns to the track after a lay-off but commands plenty of respect. Iberian and Silky Wilkie can fight it out for minor honours.

Misty Grey should go well but WE NEVER STOP dug deep to win over C&D last month and could spring a surprise.

(12) Tilsworth Ony Ta 33/1, 10/3, last of 9 in handicap at Chelmsford City (5f) 44 days ago. Back up in trip. Has fallen to a workable mark but not threatening to capitalise.

18:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

HAVANA SKY will arrive full of confidence following recent victories over C&D and at Lingfield and, despite a further 4lb rise in the ratings, he looks like the one they all have to beat again. Captain Vallo has been in cracking form at Newcastle, readily winning an amateur jockeys' handicap last week, and he looks the main danger. Alshimali and Snow Berry are others to keep an eye on.

HAVANA SKY is going the right way all of a sudden and did well to get up from an unpromising position at Lingfield last month, so he's fancied to land the hat-trick, with Captain Vallo striking as the main danger ahead of Alshimali.

Captain Vallo and Havana Sky are solid but the unexposed ALSHIMALI (nap) looks primed to strike.

18:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Zip arrives in fine form, having completed a double with victory at Newcastle, but the runner-up ROYAL ZABEEL looks to have every chance of turning the tables. Beaten less than a length on his return from a break and first start for Mick Appleby's yard, the son of Mastercraftsman has scope for further improvement off his current mark. Billyb drops back in trip with a shout, while Alzahir failed to get a clear run last time and is not out of this either.

ALZAHIR has displayed the odd quirk or 2 but having shaped much better than the bare result when gambled on at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, Jennie Candlish's 4-y-o gets the nod to regain the winning thread from his sliding mark. Chalk Mountain produced a rare poor effort at this course last month, so he's fancied to quickly bounce back, while Zip and Royal Zabeel were 1-2 at Newcastle recently, so both need keeping a close eye on, too.

A competitive heat in which ROYAL ZABEEL is given a chance to build on a promising first run for Mick Appleby at Newcastle last month.

19:15 Southwell Handicap (Class 3) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Haku went agonisingly close here before winning at Wolverhampton and another good account seems assured, despite a 3lb rise. God Of Fire disappointed at Kempton on his first start for new connections but it is too soon to write him off, and that also applies to CELLO. Andrew Balding's charge failed to fire when well beaten here on his handicap debut back in February, but he looked potentially useful when winning a novice race at Kempton before that and gets another chance on his reappearance.

In a competitive event, HAKU is up there with the form picks and he's taken to make it three wins from his last four starts. Skye Breeze could be dangerous if ready to go after a 213-day break, while Beraz has the credentials to be in the shake up if he can avoid a tardy start.

Although HAKU has been nudged up another 3lb for Wolverhampton he's the one in this line-up who definitely arrives in form.

19:45 Southwell Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LEWIS BARNES missed out by only a neck when sent off favourite at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Stuart Williams' sprinter looks capable of winning off his current mark on that evidence and may prove the one to beat. Under Curfew drops back in distance with solid claims and can make his presence felt, while Street Life is usually in the mix at this level and also merits consideration.

LEWIS BARNES is bang in form and this is a lesser race than the ones he's been contesting recently, so he gets the nod over Socialise, who is blinkered on his second outing for a shrewd stable. Street Life isn't without hope.

Lewis Barnes is the solid option but there are grounds for expecting a revival from HENERY HAWK back on AW.

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.
