5:25 Southwell Tips

I'll be shocked if Electrocution doesn't run well here. On current form he has every chance and this trip I suspect will suit. Hopefully, he meets little resistance and charges home......

Akrivos has had ten outings without winning. He reverts in distance to one mile, at which distance he recorded a career-best effort at Chelmsford in November off a mark of 55. Racing today with an official rating of 48, the horse has been given a chance in this Class 6 handicap. Cheekpieces are worn for the first time, which may bring improvement.

After an impressive 4th place in her debut at Wolverhampton, she is set to shine. The introduction of a first-time hood is expected to help her settle more effectively, especially since she has shown signs of pulling hard in the past. Moreover, with Jack Doughty's recent strike rate at 14%, coupled with a drop in class, she presents excellent each-way value at attractive odds.

She has only beaten a total of four horses across three races so far, but three of those four came last time out on her all-weather debut. She has potential to improve on this surface, being closely related to all-weather winner Rooful and half-sister to all-weather winners Accidental Agent and Madame Tantzy.

This looks very open, and a chance is taken with Captain Bruce, who ruined his chances last time by pulling too hard. Previously, as a two-year-old he looked progressive and remains on a good mark for today. 25/1 looks huge.
