20:00 Fulham v Nottm Forest
Draw
50 WIN
@3.40
Open

Fulham are missing key players, so this could be tough for them. Forest are building momentum and have most players available, so I think they can get a point or more.
17:00 Genclerbirligi v Trabzonspor
Draw

Trabzonspor have only lost 1 in 11 away and that was to Gençlerbirli?i. The home side is in good form with 3 straight home wins. The last time the sides met it finished level.

Not great odds, but this does seem likely to end all square. South Africa are unbeaten in 11 games, and the sides drew when they last met.

Villa are on fire with 9nstraight wins and now face a Utd side missing several key players through AFCON, so over evens seems generous here

Given Celtic's recent troubles, it wouldn't surprise me to come unstuck here. But at home, another loss would be bad, so a point is more likely.

Karlsson is super-fast and can take advantage of a Celtic side low in confidence. He has four league goals and can add to that tally here if Celtic don't fix up.

Worth a few tenner on another shock here with Celtic losing 4 in a row and things looking bleak. Could they just capitulate? They have conceded at least 2 goals in each of the last 4 but have enough to score.

Tough game to call. Palace are better, but Leeds have been putting in some performances at home and have real fight. I think both sides would reluctantly take a draw.
15:00 Bournemouth v Burnley
Bournemouth
50 WIN
@1.53
Lose
-50
Bournemouth are not in great form, but back-to-back draws against Chelsea and United give them something to build on. They have a few players back and play a Burnley side who have lost six of their seven away games this season.
15:00 Brighton v Sunderland
Draw
50 WIN
@4.00
Win
150
Brighton may well win here, but I think they will struggle. Sunderland will be so rough to break down but will remain a threat, and I can't see Brighton keeping a clean sheet, so I think there is value in the draw.
15:00 Wolverhampton v Brentford
Wolverhampton
50 WIN
@3.60

Wolves have been absolutely miserable, but there have been slight improvements and this can't go on forever. Brentford are terrible away, and this is a great opportunity for Wolves to end this miserable run.

@2.80
Lose
-50
This is a great price for Newcastle. They aren't having the best of seasons but remain strong at home. They have a very good recent record at St James' Park, winning 5 and drawing 1 of the last 6. Chelsea have not had very hard games on the road this season, and when they have been tested they have fallen.

Interesting pace angle and one of the few who could benefit if this turns tactical. Has bits of placed AW form that read better than bare results, and the yard tends to pop up with these types when the market isn’t shouting. If the leaders overdo it, he’s the one most likely to pick up the pieces at a price.

Has solid recent Southwell AW form and is well drawn to attack or sit handy, which is a big edge here. Proven at 6f on the surface and comes here after consistently running to his mark without needing much improvement. Dylan Swift knows him well, and this smaller field removes traffic excuses. On balance, he looks the most likely winner if reproducing recent runs.

Well-treated on previous placed form in similar handicaps and has dropped to a mark he’s competitive from.

Has been running consistently well in this grade and arrives in better form than most of these. Proven at the trip and conditions, with recent efforts showing he still has a bit in hand from this mark.

Strong handicap profile for this. Finished a close second in a competitive Ascot handicap earlier in the season and has repeatedly shown he handles big, galloping tracks. Still fairly lightly raced over hurdles, stays this trip well, and the yard/jockey combo is solid in staying handicaps. Off a workable mark and looks one of the few with proven class at this level.

Unexposed compared to many in here and shaped well in staying handicaps last season. Proven at 2m 4f+, which counts for plenty around Ascot, and hasn’t taken the punishment some of the veterans have. Handicap mark leaves room for improvement, and he’s the type to keep plugging on when others cry enough, making him a solid each-way play at the price.

Dynamo Kyiv have been in terrible form in this competition and are already out. They have lost 6 of their last 7 and I think they will struggle here. Noah, by contrast, can go through and a draw here may be enough. They are unbeaten in 6, drawing 5 of them.

Consistent 6f performer on the AW who has been running to a solid level in similar handicaps. Shaped well when last seen here, travelling strongly before just fading late, and now drops into a slightly weaker race. Well drawn to get a handy position, carries a workable mark, and the yard does well at Chelmsford. Big player if reproducing recent form.

Better than his price suggests and has shown he can be competitive off this sort of mark. Has previous placed form on the AW and is suited by a strong pace to run at. Tends to finish his races well and looks the type to pick up tired rivals late. Each-way value if things fall right.

Asian Journey
Daily Racing

@SP
Lose
-50
Asian Journey makes sense each-way based on consistent recent handicap runs and a previous placing on the Southwell surface. He’s not overburdened at the weights, is usually ridden handily, which suits this track, and the S A Gray yard does well keeping these types competitive through the winter. In a race where several rivals are either exposed or unreliable, he looks solid to run into the places at double-figure odds.
Zoulu Warrior

@4.50
Win
175
Zoulu Warrior is taken to win on the back of strong Southwell Tapeta form, having already won over this course and distance, which is a key edge in these sprint handicaps. He’s been running consistently in similar races, remains on a competitive mark, and tends to race prominently ??" a style that regularly pays dividends at Southwell. The Saffie Osborne booking is another positive, as she rides this track well and suits front-running sprinters. With proven conditions, solid recent efforts, and no obvious pace pressure to compromise him, he looks a genuine winning contender.

Cherry Baker looks the solid alternative to the odds-on favourite based on actual novice form. He has already shown he belongs at this level, shaping well in previous novice runs, and now drops into a race where most rivals are either exposed or making limited progress. The Havana Grey pedigree is well suited to Southwell’s surface, and Paul Cosgrave is a positive jockey booking in sprint novices. With proven form and no obvious negatives, he rates the most likely winner outside the favourite at a fair price.

Egotistical appeals as the each-way option after a promising debut, where he showed early speed and wasn’t beaten far. This slight step up in trip should suit based on how he finished. The J Mitchell yard often improves horses second time out in novice company. In a weak race behind a short-priced favourite, a place effort looks very achievable, making him solid value at double-figure odds.

Proven 3m handicap chaser who has already won off a similar mark and stays strongly. Ran well in higher-grade company last season and drops into a winnable Class 3. Jack Tudor rides, who does well on staying chasers at Exeter. Reliable jumper and conditions suit.

Massive price but not a no-hoper. Showed a bit more than the bare result last time and is the type that could nick a place if one of the front two underperforms. Yard does pop up with these at Southwell, and in a small field the place angle is viable at the odds.

Won a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton last time when fitted with a visor for the first time and remains on the same OR, 54. Previously placed over this C&D, so fibresand is proven. Visor retained and stable switch has clearly improved him. Solid chance to follow up.

-50
On The Bayou sets the clear form standard in this maiden. He has already finished placed in stronger novice/maiden company and, crucially, has shown he can jump, travel, and see out the trip ??" which is more than can be said for most of these. That previous run came on testing ground, so Exeter conditions won’t faze him. The Hobden/Cobden yard is operating efficiently in novice hurdles, and this looks a much weaker race than those he’s been competing in. If he repeats his last run, he should be too solid for this field.
Stung By Tariffs
Daily Racing
25 EW
@11.00
Lose
-50
Stung By Tariffs is massively overpriced given what he’s already shown. He shaped with promise on his hurdles debut, finishing midfield but not beaten far. That was in a race that has since worked out better than this. Sam Twiston-Davies taking the ride is notable in a weak maiden, and this runner looks the type to improve sharply second time up. He’s bred to stay, and Exeter’s galloping track should suit his grinding style. At double-figure odds, he makes far more sense each-way than most of the exposed outsiders.

Carron is a previous C&D winner at Kempton, scoring over this 1m trip on the polytrack earlier in the year. He followed that up with a placed effort over the same course and distance, confirming his liking for the track. He remains on a very workable mark compared to that winning run and gets a strong booking in Billy Loughnane, who rides Kempton well in handicaps. With proven course form and recent consistency, he looks the most reliable win option in an otherwise exposed field.

Final Night appeals as an each-way option based on proven C&D placed form at Kempton. He has been competitive at this level before and now drops back to a mark from which he has previously run well. His recent efforts came in slightly stronger races than this, and he wasn’t beaten far, suggesting he can bounce back. With confirmed ability on the surface and trip, he looks overpriced to at least make the frame.

Lady Of The Garr has already won over this exact C&D at Newcastle, which is a major positive in these low-grade sprint handicaps. That success showed she is capable of beating similar opposition on the Tapeta, and she remains on a mark that allows her to be competitive when returning to that level. Her latest run here was poor, but it followed a headgear change that has since been abandoned. Based on her proven C&D win rather than recent noise, she makes sense as an each-way option at the prices.

Thunderstorm Katie is a previous C&D winner at Newcastle over 5f, having landed a similar handicap here two runs ago. That win came off a comparable mark, and she backed it up by running respectably next time, again showing she handles the Tapeta well. Her Newcastle record stands out in this field, and she’s already proven she can win at this level rather than just place. In a race full of exposed sprinters, her confirmed course form makes her a solid win selection.

Teardrops is a proven Newcastle specialist, having already won over this course and distance. He’s well suited to the straight 6f on Tapeta, travels strongly, and has shown he can quicken off a solid pace here. His current mark is still workable based on previous winning form at the track, and this race isn’t deeper than those he’s already been competitive in. Reliable profile, no guessing.

No Panic is the only bigger-priced runner with a realistic case based on evidence. He has completed over hurdles, wasn’t beaten out of sight, and showed enough stamina and jumping ability to suggest he can get involved if this turns into a test of finishing rather than speed.

Swingin Safari brings the clear best hurdle form into this maiden. He’s already run to a level over timber that sets the standard here, travelling strongly and jumping soundly in comparable company.

Dillarchie has shown enough in previous handicap hurdles to suggest he remains competitive off his current mark. He has finished within striking distance in staying races over similar trips, and his form includes runs that would put him close to the frame in a contest of this nature. He hasn’t been dropping rapidly in the handicap, which indicates the assessor still rates his ability. This looks a more realistic assignment than some of the races he’s contested recently. On what he has already achieved at this level, he makes sense as an each-way option.
