4:00 Southwell Tips

Nunc Est Bibendum has found her best form since being stepped up in trip and goes for a four-timer here. Placed only twice in her first starts, she improved when third over course and distance in October. She has since won three times over 2 miles and, though now 18 lbs higher than at her first win, she should be fine with the drop back to 1m6f and can go in again.

This C/D winner better here @ Southwell than any other track as 50 percent course profile shows. Decent in this grade on last 2 runs @ Lingfield/Chelmsford, down to a nice mark of 63 here, under used jockey up and shrewd trainer best here with his 4yo plus last 5 seasons @ 23 percent, making current 12/1 solid Ew value in the race.

Take on the shorty here with a horse that just runs pretty consistently and has been freshened up by connections. Should have a good chance in here.

Simiyann has 1 in and 1 place from 6 runs at this trip and returns to flat racing after two lacklustre hurdle efforts. He is a proven stayer and is on his last winning mark on the all-weather. Yard is strong here and in good form here with Ryan Kavanagh also in good form here and useful for the 5lb claim, with both making for a strong combination.
