7:51 Southwell Tips

Won over course and distance three times previously, with the last of those in April 2025 off a mark of 68 (subsequently won off 70 at Chelmsford). Has now slipped down to a mark of 66 and looked a little unlucky at Wolverhampton last time out when sixth to Style King, suffering from a poor draw and promptly missing the break. Should be much closer this time back at his favourite venue.

Four runs on turf this year for the 7to, not great but he does have much better AW stats stats and should enjoy a return to this surface. Five runs back he was beaten by just a neck on this surface in a 12 runner handicap, against rivals rated 73-79. No rival rated above 69 in this handicap, he has a 5lb lower mark now plus another 5lb taken off his back by a good apprentice.

D C Costello rides again after six weeks. Last campaign has 2 places and 1 win. Won at Southwell before. Each-way claims.

Baba Reza has not won for a long time, but in March he had wind surgery, which seems to have put a bit more spring in his step. The last two runs resulted in a C5 second and a third. With a change of rider today to Clifford Lee, I think he could take another step forward.

They are dropping this one back down to 6f with stable jockey back on board as this one has won over this CD, a good value ew bet.

Running well recently, running well in defeat, looks close to winning soon. This race looks possibly, more suitable than the last couple of races.

Small each-way tip, it's a risky tip. Poor form the last two runs, needs better than that but, today is only her 3rd run back from a rest so she should be doing better at some point soon. Did run well in some good races last year.
