14:42 – Dog Friendly Raceday Tues 2nd June Handicap Chase (ARC Summer Chase Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 3m | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a fair little Class 5 chase rather than a deep one, and it may not take much winning if a couple of these fail to back up their spring efforts. Huckleberry Sting arrives on the back of a confidence-boosting success and is the obvious starting point despite the market taking no chances. Delgany Deadline has the more solid body of recent form and looks sure to give another honest account, while Tom Desjy is lurking on a dangerous mark if Sean Bowen can get him into a better rhythm. Cave Article has bits of staying chase form that make him interesting too, but he does have a habit of finding one or two too good. It feels a race where current well-being and clean jumping will decide plenty.
Top Selections
1. Huckleberry Sting – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Andrews | Trainer: T Ellis | Form: F/771- | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 91
He is hardly bombproof on the evidence of his overall profile, but that latest win matters because it suggested things have finally clicked over fences. Off just 155lb here despite a mark of 106, he gets in lightly enough for this grade and there may still be mileage in him as a staying chaser. Jack Andrews is a positive booking for a horse who needs organising, and in a race lacking depth I can see him getting into a good jumping rhythm near the pace. At 2/1 he is no giveaway, but he is still the one with the most obvious upside. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Delgany Deadline – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 32124- | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 98
There is less guesswork attached to Delgany Deadline than some of these, and that makes him a sensible each-way play in a seven-runner race with three places on offer. His recent form figures read well for the level, he has the joint-highest rating in the field, and the 98 Topspeed figure says he has enough pace to cope if this turns tactical before becoming a test late on. Harry Skelton in this grade is always worth noting, and this horse usually puts himself in the race. Available at 4/1, he looks the percentage call to hit the frame and could easily give the favourite most to think about. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Huckleberry Sting is the win bet because he arrives on the upgrade and this does not look a demanding Class 5. Delgany Deadline is the each-way option at 4/1, with his consistency and solid figures making him hard to leave out of the first three. Tom Desjy is the obvious danger if Sean Bowen can coax a cleaner round from him, while Cave Article also has enough ability to get involved.

15:12 – Book The Bistro At Southwell Racecourse Novices’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a five-runner novice handicap chase, but it is not lacking in intrigue. Seaview Rock heads the market after a solid first campaign and is entitled to be popular for a yard that tends to do well with this type, while Kara Sacre has the look of one who could still have more to offer over fences despite failing to complete on his latest start. Dunkerque arrives off a win and is not easily dismissed, though that came in a weaker contest, while Rule Me In is the one with a published mark and gets plenty of weight. Doc McCoy has questions to answer after pulling up. It is a small field, but not an easy one, and jumping fluency could be the deciding factor.
Top Selections
1. Seaview Rock – 9/4 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: 218- | Rating: | Topspeed:
Seaview Rock looks the percentage call in a race where not much separates the principals. His 218- form tells a fair story: he learned on the job, got his head in front, and then signed off with a perfectly respectable effort in better company than this. Sean Bowen is a significant booking in these small-field chases because he is so good at keeping things straightforward, and that could matter here if this turns tactical. At 9/4 with Paddy Power, he is not a giveaway, but he does bring the least messy profile to the table and appeals as the one most likely to run his race. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
With only five runners, this is a straight win-bet race and Seaview Rock is the one to side with. He has the cleanest overall profile and should be well suited by this test. Kara Sacre is the obvious danger if brushing up the jumping, while Dunkerque has enough recent winning form to make him a real player.

15:42 – Summer Fun & Makers Market Raceday 27th July Mares’ Open Maiden NH Flat Race (Cat 3) (GBB) (Div I)
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly typical mares’ bumper with a short-priced contender against a clutch of lightly raced or completely unknown types, so there is promise but not much certainty. For Her Glory is the obvious focal point for Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen, and the market has latched on accordingly. Of those with experience, Crystal Glade probably brings the most solid single piece of form after her debut fourth, while Royale Blue and It Takes Two have shown enough to suggest they can be more competitive with that first outing behind them. The debutantes add the intrigue, especially from strong yards, but in truth this is not a deep race on what we know. It feels the sort of contest where natural ability and professionalism will decide it rather than hard-established bumper form.
Top Selections
1. For Her Glory – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
She is the one the market has made no secret of, and that is usually worth respecting when Olly Murphy sends a mare to a race like this with Sean Bowen booked. There is no racecourse evidence to pick over, but this stable is more than capable of readying one first time in a modest Class 5 bumper and the 4yo allowance is another obvious plus. At around 2/1 she is not being missed, but this does not look a race overloaded with proven substance and she may simply have a bit more class than the opposition. In a contest full of guesswork, she is the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Crystal Glade – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul O’Brien | Trainer: Pam Sly | Form: 4- | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 70
If you want something at a workable each-way price with actual bumper form in the book, Crystal Glade makes plenty of appeal. Her debut fourth was a respectable start and, crucially in a race like this, she has already shown she can handle the job and run to a fair level, as the 92 rating and 70 topspeed suggest. Pam Sly is not a yard to dismiss when they place one carefully, and this does not look an especially deep maiden. At 7/1, she is much more interesting than some of the similarly priced unknowns because we have at least seen her do it on the track. She looks a sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
For Her Glory is the win play because she comes from the right yard, has the right rider and looks the one most likely to be above average in an ordinary enough mares’ bumper. For an each-way alternative, Crystal Glade has the best mix of proven ability and price. The main dangers look to be Chiquita Milano and Royale Blue, while Marie D’Altalinara is one to note if strong in the betting.

Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary mares’ bumper on paper, but there are still a few with proper upside and that makes it more interesting than the grade suggests. Crystalate and Getmyfriend bring the most solid bumper form to the table and it’s no surprise the market has latched on to them, while Golden Bouquet adds a bit of intrigue on debut for a yard that knows exactly what it takes to win races like this. Agreymiracleseeker also has a run under her belt and gets weight as a 4yo, so she is not easily dismissed. By contrast, plenty of the bigger prices have already shown only modest ability. In a race where experience could count for plenty, I still slightly prefer the blend of proven ability and scope over blind faith in an unraced one.
Top Selections
1. Crystalate – 9/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Olly Murphy | Form: 4- | Rating: 103 | Topspeed: 23
Crystalate sets the standard among the 4yos with that debut fourth and, in a race where several have either achieved little or know nothing at all, that counts for plenty. Olly Murphy is always respected in this sphere and Sean Bowen is the sort you want aboard in a bumper that could turn tactical before becoming a proper test in the straight. She doesn’t need to find masses to take this, just the normal amount of improvement from first to second start. At 9/4 she is hardly missed, but she still makes the most appeal because she has already shown enough to suggest she belongs. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Agreymiracleseeker – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Bellamy | Trainer: Alan King | Form: 6- | Rating: 104 | Topspeed: 64
Agreymiracleseeker is the each-way angle at the prices. Her debut sixth doesn’t leap off the page, but the bare form is at least respectable enough in the context of this race and the figures say she is right in the mix. Alan King can ready one to step forward markedly from a first outing, and as a 4yo she receives weight from the older mares, which is no bad thing in a race lacking depth. She may not have the same obvious ceiling as one or two, but she looks the type to run her race and stay on when others paddle. Available at 9/2, she makes plenty of each-way appeal. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Crystalate is the solid win play because she has the best piece of visible bumper form and should come on for that initial run. Agreymiracleseeker is the sensible each-way punt in a 10-runner field, especially with three places on offer. Golden Bouquet is the obvious danger on debut for Henderson, while Getmyfriend also commands respect if building on that previous third.

16:42 – Proudly Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week Novices’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 5 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a fairly ordinary Class 5 novice handicap hurdle on paper, but it is not lacking in angles. Miss Kassiopi brings the most persuasive recent form after a solid little sequence, while Lheur De Gloire has the highest mark in the field and represents a yard you always respect in this grade. Chico Magnifica and Glenridding are the two 4yos who could still have a bit more to offer, and Pottersjetamay is weighted to get involved if reproducing the pick of last season’s efforts. The trouble is that plenty arrive with patchy profiles, so this feels more like a race to play percentages than get too clever in. A sound pace over this sharpish trip on good ground should make fitness, hurdling fluency and tactical position especially important.
Top Selections
1. Miss Kassiopi – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Bannister | Trainer: Richard J Bandey | Form: 62213- | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 91
She makes the most appeal in a race where a few of the market principals still have something to prove. That 62213- sequence reads well enough for this level and, crucially, it suggests she has become reliable rather than merely talented. An opening mark of 97 looks workable judged on those recent efforts, and her Topspeed figure of 91 is right up to the standard needed in a race like this. Harry Bannister is a positive booking for a mare who should be able to travel handily and use her experience to good effect. At 7/2, she is no giveaway, but she is the one with the least guesswork attached. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Glenridding – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Callum Bewley | Trainer: Ewan Whillans | Form: 75585- | Rating: 98 | Topspeed: 102
He is not the most obvious one on bare recent form, but there is enough in his profile to make him interesting each-way in a 13-runner race. Glenridding’s form figures do not scream consistency, yet that Topspeed mark of 102 jumps off the page in this company and hints that he has run to a better level than most of these at some stage. As a 4yo, he is one of the few in here who may still be progressing with racing, and a mark of 98 does not look insurmountable if this sharper test suits. At 17/2 with four places on offer, he looks the value play against a few shorter-priced but shakier rivals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Miss Kassiopi is the sensible win play because she brings the most solid recent profile and looks fairly treated off 97. For an each-way punt, Glenridding appeals at the prices with his standout Topspeed figure and the possibility of more to come as a 4yo. The obvious dangers are Lheur De Gloire if the Pauling yard has him primed, and Chico Magnifica, who could easily step forward from a low weight.

17:17 – Conferences And Events At Southwell Racecourse Maiden Hurdle (ARC Summer Novices’ Brush Qual) (GBB)
Race Details: 1m 7f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary maiden hurdle on paper, but not an impossible one to solve. Louis Veron and King’s Scholar set the standard on official figures after promising hurdle debuts, while Sense Of Reason brings the most solid body of Flat form and already has a runner-up effort over timber to his name. White Riot is a slightly more awkward read after failing to complete on his latest start, though his earlier bumper form gives him a squeak if settling better. The four-year-olds Fervent and Provision receive weight, but one is an unknown quantity and the other has plenty to find on what we’ve seen. In a seven-runner field, class and professionalism should count for plenty, and this may boil down to which of the principals sharpens up most from their first hurdles outing.
Top Selections
1. Louis Veron – 11/10 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 2- | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 92
Louis Veron is the percentage call. He shaped well when second on debut over hurdles and that already puts him right at the head of this field, especially with Dan Skelton’s team so often adept at placing these novice types to good effect. A mark of 111 is joint-best among the obvious dangers and his 92 Topspeed backs up the visual impression that there was substance to that effort. He doesn’t need to improve dramatically to win a race like this, just jump a shade slicker and settle into a rhythm. At around 11/10, he’s no giveaway, but he does look the likeliest winner in a contest lacking depth. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sense Of Reason – 11/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Cannon | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 4472- | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 95
Sense Of Reason appeals as the value angle if you want to take on the favourite. He’s actually the highest-rated horse in the line-up on 116 and his Flat background gives him a touch more substance than some of these pure jumping projects. His latest second suggests he’s getting the hang of hurdling, and the 95 Topspeed is a useful figure in the context of this race. Tom Cannon is a positive booking for a horse who may be ridden with a bit more confidence now. At 11/2, he makes plenty more each-way appeal than the front pair in the market, especially if this turns into a test of know-how rather than raw potential. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Louis Veron is the win play, as his hurdle debut sets the clearest standard and he’s with a yard that excels in races like this. For an each-way punt in this seven-runner field, Sense Of Reason looks the sensible alternative at the prices, with his Flat class and solid latest second making him dangerous. King’s Scholar is the obvious saver-worthy threat.

17:47 – Family Fun Day Monday 31st August Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: 6.2) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a properly competitive closing handicap rather than a race with an obvious blot. Duffry Trixs heads the market after a solid second on his final start last season, while Prairie Diamond arrives on the back of a win and is respected despite a higher mark. Sutherland and Eternity Rose are the other ones with fairly persuasive recent profiles, and the latter has already caught the eye of at least one judge. There are a few lurkers at bigger prices too, with Copper Beach and Ballela Blaze both interesting if retaining ability after absences. In truth, this is the sort of Class 4 hurdle where the pace and who settles best over this 2m4f could be decisive, so I would rather side with value than simply follow the favourite.
Top Selections
1. Eternity Rose – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Liam Harrison | Trainer: Fergal O’Brien | Form: 43053- | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 72
Eternity Rose looks the one to side with at the prices. She is still only five, which makes her one of the more interesting improvers in this line-up, and her profile suggests there is a handicap in her from this sort of mark. The bare form figures do not scream certainty, but a sequence of respectable runs in defeat often plays well in races like this, especially for a yard as reliable as Fergal O’Brien’s in these staying hurdle handicaps. Off 108, with Liam Harrison doing the steering, she does not need to find a huge amount and 6/1 appeals as a fair win price in a race lacking a standout. Bet: WIN
2. Copper Beach – 9/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Oscar Palmer | Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith | Form: 845P2/ | Rating: 109 | Topspeed:
Copper Beach is the each-way angle because he is dangerously well treated if returning anywhere near his best. The obvious caveat is the absence, and that alone explains the price, but this 9yo is on a very workable mark and gets in here with just 10st 11lb. That can make a real difference late on around Southwell when others have had enough. Sue Smith’s runners are often worth noting in staying tests, and while this is not a deep race, it is one where a low weight and a touch of class can carry you a long way. At 9/1, he makes plenty of each-way appeal in a field of 11. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Eternity Rose gets the vote as the win bet because she has the profile of a progressive handicap hurdler and is priced generously enough at 6/1. Copper Beach is the saver each-way at 9/1, with the low weight giving him a real chance of hitting the frame if tuned up. Duffry Trixs is the obvious danger, while Prairie Diamond also commands respect after that latest win.
