3-year-old filly sired by Ten Sovereigns has won just once over 5.5 furlongs at Brighton. She has, however, run a close 2nd here and got to the lead that day, just to be overhauled in the last furlong. She is carrying 3lb less today in the handicap and may hold on.

3-year-old gelding sired by Ten Sovereigns has run some decent races without quite getting his head in front. He has run a close 2nd here over course and distance behind Hundred Caps, who re-opposes today on 4lb worse terms. Cape Sovereign can front run and has done so on 5 of his 10 runs to date, and this course helps a front runner. I think he will go close on his favoured fast ground, and he may just lead all the way.

4-year-old filly sired by Dandy Man has won a couple of times on turf over 5 furlongs and was tried over 6 furlongs last time out but couldn't make any progress in the final furlong. I think back at 5 furlongs from a decent draw will help her normal front-rank running style. She has run well here at Newcastle before, and I think she will go close on a surface that the breeding suggests she should do well on.

4-year-old gelding sired by Phoenix Of Spain has won at Thirsk on good to soft going. He has won elsewhere on the all-weather again at the 7-furlong trip. I think, on breeding, this surface will suit with a little juice in the ground. Having been dropped a couple of lbs since the last outing, must have every chance.

3 year old Filly sired by Phoenix Of Spain has been running some good races without quite troubling the judge. She is running on softer ground than she has experienced to date and on breeding I think this will suit her and she will go close.

6 year old gelding Sired by AWtaad ran here last week and was a close 2nd (nk) on good going. The 5lb claimer rides again and will know him better this time. The softer ground isn't a problem as he has run well on it in the past. Has been backed and although the price is short, could be a good sign.

2-year-old January colt sired by New Bay has run okay in his 3 runs to date, running over 7 furlongs and then last time over 5 furlongs. After a slow start, he was running on well that day and now being tried over the 6-furlong trip in his first handicap on the all-weather at Chelmsford could improve again. Breeding suggests the surface will suit, and I'm hopeful of a big run.

3-year-old gelding sired by Ten Sovereigns is running in her first handicap today and her first outing at Lingfield. Her last 2 races were on the Tapeta surface at Wolverhampton, and she may just prefer the Polytrack here as she ran her first race on it at Kempton and ran a decent 5th that day. The jockey rides here well, so she will get plenty of assistance from the saddle and is also tongue-tied for the first time.

7-year-old gelding sired by Dark Angel has run a couple of good races recently. Same jockey on today who rode him to a 3rd place, 2 lengths 2nd last time. He is down another lb to a very competitive handicap mark and should go close.

4-year-old gelding sired by Dark Angel is yet to win a race in 18 starts but has been running some decent races recently. The jockey who rode him last time out into a good third is onboard again and will know him better this time. Was a little outpaced in the final stages that day but upped a little in trip today and hopefully more use will be made of him this time and he may get his first win. He is certainly handicapped to go close.

4 year old Filly Sired by Phoenix Of Spain has yet to get her head in front despite running some close seconds. She has run well here at this distance on this going and has continued to come down to a very attractive handicap mark. The jockey knows her well and it is surely just a matter of things falling right before she gets that first win. Hoping today is her day.

6 year old gelding Sired by New Approach is a frequent runner here and this jockey knows him well. He is some way below his last winning handicap mark. He has found some trouble in running in recent races and not always had the best passage in a race. I think with better luck in running he will go very close today. Just a case of getting away on terms and hopefully the jockey can do this for a trainer that is in decent form.

5-year-old gelding sired by Awtaad hasn't won since December 24. That was over 7 furlongs at Chelmsford carrying 9 stone 9 lb. He does like the all-weather and has won here at Newcastle at this distance as well. Top weight today, but although shouldering 9 stone 12 lb, he is actually lower than the handicap mark of 95 when he last won.

3-year-old gelding sired by Night Of Thunder is a consistent sort, having won and been placed 3rd and 2nd in his last 4 outings. A good speed figure last time out and reasonably handicapped to win, I think. The question is whether he will perform to his best first time on the all-weather. There is no reason on breeding why he won't do well here at Southwell, so I'm hopeful of a good run.

8-year-old mare sired by Cacique has been coming down the weights to what is now a very attractive mark. She hasn't won since July '22, but that was here over the course and distance. Several good runs here since, and she is a bit of a course and distance specialist. Could go very close from a favourable draw today.

4-year-old gelding sired by Havana Grey has won over this distance on good to soft ground. He has a decent draw for one that can front run, and the handicapper has been gradually easing him down the weights. He's not the most consistent type, but one that could pop up soon. Hopefully today, but advising win only.

3-year-old filly sired by Sergei Prokofiev has been consistent recently since wearing blinkers. Ran a decent 3rd last time under this capable jockey on good to soft going. I think the jockey will know her better this time, and the faster going will be more to her liking today. Should go close.

4-year-old filly sired by Golden Horn has run some decent races recently and seems versatile regarding going. She has dropped a further lb in the handicap and although is top of the handicap, has a regular rider reducing the burden by a further 3 lb. Golden Horn produces plenty of jump horses, so they are built for carrying weight. I think conditions will suit, and she will go close.

5-year-old gelding sired by Aclaim has been very consistent of late. He is back on turf today with a hefty 10 stone on board. I don't think this will inconvenience him as he has run well with weight before. This jockey knows him well, and he can front run from this draw and hopefully stay out in front.

5-year-old mare sired by Churchill is starting to look well-handicapped. Has won off a mark of 71 over 1 mile 4 furlongs (today's trip) on good to firm going. Was carrying 9 stone 12 lb that day, so can carry the top weight she is carrying today. A good run is expected after some average performances recently. Today's conditions look ideal.

3-year-old filly sired by Phoenix Of Spain has only had 4 previous runs and one on turf. Running okay and off a decent handicap mark, she may improve for stronger handling today from Hollie and returning to the turf. Breeding lends the idea that this going will suit, and 2nd time in a handicap she should run well.

4 year old Filly Sired by Aclaim is a consistent sort but hasn't won since June 2024. She is coming down the weights nicely and although carrying Top weight, she is down in class. Has run well here and the going is going to be good or softer and I think carrying this weight on the ground over this distance will be to her liking.

3-year-old January gelding sired by Zoustar has only won one race so far, but that was over 6 furlongs. He has also shown some form on soft going, and the breeding suggests he may like this Southwell surface. He can front run and may do that today.

3-year-old filly sired by Night Of Thunder has yet to win a race but has been runner-up in her last two outings. She came very close two outings ago and was 2nd again last time to a horse that won again next time out. I think she has the ability to win this on her second outing over a mile and may just try to get to the front early and stay there.
