8:30 Southwell Tips

Should be suited by the drop in grade and trip after finishing third over 6 furlongs in a Class 4 at Newcastle 2 weeks ago.

Course-and-distance winner Ay Gee Ell is fairly well handicapped and is well drawn in stall 2 for a horse that likes to race up with the pace.

Don't think there's that much between the main runners here. Won twice and placed a couple of other times, all here over five furlongs.

Brazilian Belle isn't the most consistent of horses. He has won two races, although he is still to break his duck over the all-weather track. In a race of inconsistent runners, he should feel at home.

Street Life did win last month and was also second and third in the last three races. I do think this race is a handicap that Street Life could get up and win for sure.

Birkenhead has made the frame in all of the last four starts. Two-time C&D winner, and I think this experienced sprinter is bound to get a win soon.

NEPTUNE LEGEND does need a furlong or two further to race, would seemingly benefit from having the visor refitted and a drop in grade. Nothing really looks right today but I can't shake the feeling that he might run well despite. New handler James Owen got a win out the 7-y-o back in November and I though then that other wins would follow. They have not but I find myself blindly retaining faith, even though the evidence isn't there to support. Hollie Doyle rides.

DAPPERLING is on a tempting mark and she has bits of form for her new yard that look hopeful. The major downside is her lack of urgency from the stalls, which over this trip, can be the end at the start. However, she can and does run on off a fast pace when things work out and with this many runners, she may just get that, It is notable she has a string of entries in the coming week and could just reward a small interest.
