  Smiley Face (IRE) is a 2yo colt by Kingman trained by Charlie Johnston, with Jamie Spencer booked. He shaped well when finishing fourth at Sandown over 5f on soft ground, staying on nicely late and looking like a step up in trip would suit. The extra furlong at Newmarket should help, and Spencer’s patient style could be a perfect fit. If he gets a strong pace to aim at, Smiley Face looks a he should be in the mix at the finish.

  Never Just A Dream (IRE) is a 5-year-old gelding by No Nay Never, trained by Alice Haynes and ridden by Kieran O’Neill. He runs off an official rating of 91 and comes here after a solid effort at Dundalk, where he travelled nicely before just tiring late on in a competitive sprint. He’s a proven all-weather performer with four career wins, and while this will be his first run at Southwell, his style of racing should suit the Tapeta surface. The drop back to 6f looks a good move, as his best form has come when able to travel strongly behind the pace and quicken late. With O’Neill back in the saddle and his recent run likely to have sharpened him up, Never Just A Dream looks a lively each-way player, especially if the race sets up for closers. Im hoping he will run fresh from the recent break.

  Nikovo (GB) is a 6-year-old gelding by Kingman out of Rostova, trained by Michael Herrington and set to be ridden by Jason Hart. He runs off an official mark of 93 and comes here after some solid all-weather efforts, including a close second at Newcastle over 1m where he travelled strongly and was only collared late on. He’s a proven performer on Tapeta and clearly still in good heart. His latest run at Newcastle over 7f saw him make the running before being caught late, so stepping back up to 1m looks the right move. Hart’s booking is a plus ??' he’s an excellent judge of pace and knows how to get horses rolling early on this surface. With conditions to suit and a fair mark, Nikovo looks a solid each-way contender, especially if he can get to the front and control the fractions.
