8:30 Southwell Tips

All 3 career wins have been on the all weather at Newcastle but has been running consistently well of late with 4 placings from last 5 starts. Should be there or thereabouts

Daughter of Showcasing & Music Show ( Dam's sire Noverre ) who was last seen at Beverley 42 days ago where finishing 6th/7 however he most certainly needed the run after a 119 day break and he has now dropped to an attractive mark of 66 racing in a very suitable looking race here and is more than capable of bouncing back to his best here jockey Ray Dawson takes the ride on M Appleby's inmate and can give Noisy Music a promising ride here at Southwell must be taken very seriously

I’m reluctantly siding with Spartan Fighter, the veteran 8-year-old Dutch Art gelding trained by Antony Brittain, in the Highbet Club Acca Boost “Confined” Handicap (7 f 14 y) at Southwell. While his recent turf form isn’t compelling??'finishing outside the top four at Redcar (10th, May 26) and Newcastle (fifth, May 2)??'his proven ability to fire over this all-weather course keeps him in the mix . His last AW win came at Newcastle in February and his most recent Was??'Favored success was at Southwell in March, showing he still handles the surface well . Off a reduced mark (OR mid-50s) and dropping into a confined Class 5 field, he could squeeze into a place with a patient ride. Expect him to break handy and settle into a stalking position before aiming to pick them off late, as he did in March’s Newcastle victory. His best chance rests on getting back on the Southwell tapeta where he’s comfortable.
