12:10 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 5) 26f Race Class Flow

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

The new training partnership of Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole got off to a flying start earlier in the week and it would come as no surprise to see ROSTELLO score for them here. An experienced chaser, the selection showed he retains enthusiasm with a gallant success at Hexham last month and is a must for consideration off just 5lb higher. Sedgefield winner Largy Nights is respected along with Concrete King.

CONCRETE KING is potentially well treated nowadays and took a step back in the right direction when third at Ffos Las, so can fend off last-time-out winners Ali Star Bert, Largy Nights and Rostello.

Charlie Longsdon's LARGY NIGHTS did it well at Sedgefield and he's by no means exposed as a stayer.

12:45 Southwell Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Arlo, Couldbeaweapon and Gardener reached a comparable level over hurdles and are evenly matched as they set out to enhance their profiles over fences. However, given the probability of testing ground being the order of the day, SECRET PLAN could take advantage of the small amount of weight he receives from his three rivals. Having posted his best effort over timber on heavy, the Evan Williams-trained gelding is set to encounter ideal conditions and is fancied to make a winning start in this discipline.

GARDENER didn't go on as hoped switched to handicaps over hurdles, but he possibly needed the run after 9 months off last time and he could yet do better over fences. He is taken to make a winning stable/chase debut, with Arlo next best having shaped encouragingly on his reappearance, ahead of Couldbeaweapon.

It could be that SECRET PLAN will want further over fences but he's still worth chancing on his first attempt.

13:20 Southwell NH Flat Race (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Expensive purchases Western Harmony and CASTLE IVERS both captured the imagination when they both won at the same Ballindenisk point-to-point fixture in May. While the former is respected on debut for the Nicky Henderson yard, the latter has an equal amount of scope to develop under Rules and shades preference after registering a slightly quicker time between the flags. Hereford bumper winner Tap N Go Leo shoulders a 7lb penalty, so Shuile Warrior is earmarked for third spot on his racecourse bow.

WESTERN HARMONY has been picked up for six figures after landing an Irish point and he's worth chancing to make a successful Rules debut at the likely expense of Castle Ivers, who fits a similar mould. Tap N Go Leo is also considered after scoring on debut at Hereford.

This may concern WESTERN HARMONY and Castle Ivers, who won their respective divisions of the same point in Ireland back in May.

13:55 Southwell Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Trainer Nicky Henderson will be disappointed if the well-bred BHALOO doesn't open his account over timber. The bumper winner chased home a couple of useful prospects on his hurdling bow last month and rates the one they all have to beat on that form. Colonel Whizz, who hit the woodwork at Fakenham, is the main danger. Stardhem didn't show much on his sole bumper start, but he is bred to appreciate the switch to hurdles.

This looks to represent a good opportunity for BHALOO to build on a promising opening run over hurdles at Kempton. Tommie Gun shaped quite well when runner-up in a Newbury bumper last month and is preferred for the forecast spot to Colonel Whizz, who may not be ideally suited by the return to 2m.

Only three really appeal as feasible winners. BHALOO is hard to resist after shaping so promisingly in a much stronger race at Kempton.

14:30 Southwell Novices Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

SUPREMELY WEST was able to comprehensively defy a penalty when winning at Sedgefield last month and the progressive son of Westerner might be a tough nut to crack once again. That said, Bugise Seagull and Thank You Blue both made successful hurdling debuts last time so they must be respected in receipt of 4lb from the selection. High Treason completes the shortlist.

BUGISE SEAGULL was well prepared following a year off the track when winning at Catterick 3 weeks ago and, with the promise of more to come, the 4 lb he receives from Supremely West may prove decisive. High Treason is bred to relish this trip now hurdling and he commands respect, too.

The three previous winners all have something to recommend them but SUPREMELY WEST can bring up the three-timer over hurdles.

15:00 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

OAKLEY DANCER found it difficult getting through the heavy ground at Leicester last month, although she still performed with credit, and arguably sets the standard on the form of her commanding successes at Chepstow and Newton Abbot. Walk Of No Shame may be winless since February but she has been in consistent form of late, while Shelikesthelights is capable on her day.

A case can be made for all of the quartet but the vote goes to OAKLEY DANCER who posted an excellent third on her seasonal return at Leicester and can build on it to quickly resume winning ways. Jonjo O'Neill captured this prize 12 months ago and his in-form mare Walk of No Shame is next on the list ahead of the consistent Ravenscar.

Walk Of No Shame was a promising 3rd on the return to 2m last time but RAVENSCAR also has a good deal to recommend her.

15:30 Southwell Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A respectable third on each of his two starts in maiden hurdles, GLOBE PLAYER looks to have a been given a workable mark on his handicap debut as he looks to get off the mark. The four-year-old seems to have conditions in his favour and may have too much for Swinging London and Realisation, who hasn't been able to replicate the form of her bumper success at Bangor last October in two starts over timber this season.

REALISATION showed the benefit of a tongue tie when a very good Hereford third last time and she can add to her bumper success now stepping into handicap company for the first time. Swinging London comes here in good nick and can go well with the return to further a likely plus, while Sister Michael could emerge as a big threat too if the market vibes prove positive on his comeback run.

Useful bumper winner REALISATION (nap) has her best chance yet since switched to hurdles and this handicap debut doesn't look demanding.
