4:50 Southwell Tips

J. Butler's 5yo form as been patchy but arguably been running too far recently 2 mile plus , back down to 1m6f and must have great chance

Premier is currently the short priced favourite here mainly on the strength of his 2nd at Ffos Las, that was a relatively a weak race that enabled Premier to go close, John Galt came up against stronger horses last time out, his previous win at Leicester was in better company, his current price of 5/1 is good value.

The pick is on a 3 lb lower mark than in its win on the flat and came from finishing runner-up by just a neck last month at Ffos Las. No threats are foreseen in this company.

Should strip fitter for 2 runs following a 7 month absence and most recently over 2 miles at Chester. He has won over further here and should be staying on dropping in trip.

Looks well suited to this trip, having stayed on well last time out. Not much pace in this race, which could see this one get a soft lead. Solid each-way claims.

Could be worth chancing at big odds here. Had shown promise in maiden company. Could be well treated on that form and looks a little overpriced as the outsider of the field.
