5:00 Southwell Tips

Marry The Night has a 2lb rise. He has been a runner-up in C&D. Francesi has been running well and will be competitive, but Marry The Night has a chance to finish up.

C&D, going and class wins to this mare's name. Class 6 today, having come second LTO in a class 5. As far as I can see, she's only raced at Southwell 3 times... Class 6 5th, class 6 1st, class 5 2nd. The win she had here was at this distance. I think she will be competitive.

The handicap debut 3rd over C&D last time out was a much-improved effort, and he can go even closer now that he'll strip fitter since that run was after 4 months off the course. He was held up and not given a particularly hard ride, so there could be much more to come here off the same mark. There are a couple of horses from that race that have franked that form too.

Francesi has only won 1 of his 43 starts, but he continues to run well, having been placed 20 times, including finishing runner-up in his last two starts at Wolverhampton last month. He has run 5 times here at Southwell and been placed 4 times. Off the same mark as those last two starts, he looks sure to go well again and looks like a good EW bet with 4 places on offer.

Hashtagnotions made two wins on turf this year and has been overall in good form. He is now back on the all-weather and dropped to a mile. He is still well handicapped to get involved.

Reputation can follow up his win earlier this month with just a 2lb raise. He was well in that day based on his win here off 57 this time last year and can win again today off 51.
