3:22 Southwell Tips

Only 1-15 but is a fairly consistent individual who ran well back from a break and wind surgery when 3rd at Newcastle last month. Dropped a lb for that, so should run very well this afternoon.

Michael Herrington's C&D winner Down To The Kid has rarely run poorly this year and can take this. The five-year-old is dropped back to the grade he won at over this C&D in May.

Hale End is a reliable 5YO by Mehmas, effective at 8f and beaten on sound going. Beaten only 2l last time at Newcastle, he stays competitive off 71. On a fair mark, cheekpieces retained to aid focus, and Sean Kirrane's mount looks primed for another solid run.

Latest triumph at Wolverhampton in August, yet only achieved 6th position in a handicap at Wolverhampton, finishing behind ten days prior. Not out of the running with the yard in good form and a capable jockey. A rebound is likely, and an each-way wager could result in a profit at a favourable price.

Rising Force looked back in good order when getting up late at Lingfield and returns from a break with a solid chance off just 4lb higher. He’s effective at 7 to 8f on the all weather, and if he picks up where he left off, there’s every reason to think he can go close again.

Four all-weather wins feature on his CV, but he makes his debut at this venue today. Generally inconsistent, he may have his interest piqued by the new surroundings and remains on a favourable mark. The booking of Paul Mulrennan catches the eye, and he looks a sporting each-way bet.

She is a five-time winner, including three wins in her last seven starts. She romped home by 4 lengths at Chelmsford when last seen 42 days ago, and a 9 lb rise may not stop her from going in again.
