2:02 Southwell Tips

0-11 but has finished 2nd on his previous 5 starts, which raises some questions regarding his attitude. However, his 2nd off this mark over course and distance a fortnight ago was probably his best effort so far, so worth another chance this afternoon in my opinion.

Following his latest winning run over today's course and distance earlier this month, Good Earth is fancied to follow up off a mark two pounds higher than that won. He is once again partnered by the three-pound claimer, who timed his run to perfection to win by half a length.

Representing top connections and coming here on the back of two recent good efforts, this handicap debutante must be worth a win bet in this slowly run grade. Further improvement seems likely in the hands of Andrew Balding, and I will be very surprised if this horse does not go very close to winning this.

I feel this is a decent bet. Alin the 4TBP market, take out the last run. Prior to that it was a good second, and the course form is decent enough for the odds on offer.

Lightly raced, ex-Irish-trained 4yo filly. Four runs for her previous UK trainer, suffering two narrow defeats on this surface at Newcastle in her last two starts after switching from turf. Same mark for this handicap. Debut for a new yard, will be fresh after a four-month break, and a strong jockey booking looks positive for the selection.

Atomic Mass has slipped to his lowest ever mark of 56. The Havana Gold gelding ran well here last September and October, with consecutive close second places over course and distance off 58 and 60.
