3:44 Southwell Tips

Ex-Irish-trained 6-y-o mare who has been racing in better company than this race, so could be a big player joining the James Owen yard, who does well with new recruits. Has won twice before, and 9 lb below her last winning mark is well handicapped on that form.

Has won at this track and arrives having finished 2nd in two of the last three races. Should go well again and is likely to be there or thereabouts.

Not beaten far in two races over a mile here last month, and is a three-time winner over this trip. The drop back to 7 furlongs appeals.

Lightly raced 4yo. A little too keen last time out but not beaten far in his two previous races; those runs were on the polytrack. He’s now 12 lb lower than his opening handicap mark from last summer. Just one previous run at this track, which was his debut, and he was beaten by under a length that day.

Needs improvement and more than what she has shown the last few runs but this drop down in distance may see a better run from this horse today.

Darla's Secret is yet to make the frame in 12 runs, but he has been running better as his handicap mark has dropped. He just needs to settle better, and he can start getting into the money.

Having watched the stable debut back, SAVED LIZZIE showed a bit of spark in the closing stages and wasn't beaten by much. She should prefer the return to this distance and isn't one to give up on just yet for new connections, despite being a longstanding maiden. She avoids the high draw, so shouldn't get trapped outside, and hopefully the gap opens up in the closing stages.
