3:52 Southwell Tips

Pike Road is five pounds higher than his winning mark from Uttoxeter three starts ago, but he went off too fast at Cheltenham last time. This field looks far easier, and he should have a good chance of another win.

Jackpot Cash makes some appeal here at Southwell. He ran a fairly honest race at Leicester last time, finishing fourth in a handicap chase and performing broadly in line with his current form. He’s proven from 2m to 2m5f on a sound surface, and this drop back into a more suitable setup could see him put in a better showing. The trip and track look a good fit, and there are no obvious concerns with conditions. If he runs to his usual level, he should be competitive.
