14:20 – Celebrate With Sponsorship At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a pretty typical Southwell 7f handicap: exposed older sprinters and milers, a few arriving in fair nick, and not much margin between the principals on official figures. Split Elevens heads the market and is easy enough to see making a bold bid from a good middle draw, while Hint Of The Jungle and Fistral Beach bring recent winning form to the table and look obvious threats. English Lady also has claims after a solid return, and Brother Dave is weighted to outrun bigger odds if things fall right. It is not a deep race, but it is a tricky enough puzzle because plenty of these are running to similar marks. In a field of 12, track position and getting the pace right should count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Split Elevens – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: John Butler | Form: 83-745 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 66
He looks the percentage call. Split Elevens is not exactly hiding much from the handicapper as an 8yo, but that topspeed figure of 66 is the best in the field and his recent efforts suggest he is close to cashing in again. The latest fifth was respectable enough in the context of this grade, and stall 5 should allow David Probert to get him into a handy rhythm rather than playing catch-up. In this company, consistency counts for plenty, and he has a more reliable profile than most of these. Available at 10/3 with Bet365, he makes plenty of appeal as the one most likely to run his race. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. English Lady – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Alexandra Egan | Trainer: Dean Ivory | Form: 3130-3 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 61
English Lady appeals as the each-way play because she returned with a solid third and has the sort of profile that suggests she can nick a place, if not better, in a race like this. She is lightly raced compared to several of these battle-hardened handicappers and that gives her a touch more upside than most. Her form figures show she can be competitive off this sort of mark, and a draw in 7 is no hardship if Alexandra Egan can slot in and deliver her late. At 7/1 with Bet365, she looks a fair each-way punt in a race where not many can be called bombproof.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Split Elevens is the win bet because he brings the strongest speed figure and the most solid recent handicap form. English Lady is the each-way option at 7/1, with four places on offer making that angle sensible in a field of 12. The main dangers are Hint Of The Jungle, who is capable of bouncing back, and Fistral Beach, who has been holding form well.

14:55 – Wright Vigar Handicap
Race Details: 4f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a proper five-furlong specialist dropped into a four-furlong dash in all but name, and Southwell’s sharp minimum trip should make it a real burn-up from the gates. Man On A Mission sets the standard on recent form after another solid placed effort and, in a race lacking depth, he’s the obvious one they all have to beat. Arlington has become a little frustrating but his mark is workable and a low draw helps if he can break on terms. Stash The Cash is another with enough pace to get involved, while Beneficiary is interesting from stall 1 if bouncing back. It’s not a deep Class 6 by any means, but these short-field sprints can get messy quickly, so track position and clean starts will decide plenty.
Top Selections
1. Man On A Mission – 6/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Liam Wright | Trainer: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck | Form: 252742 | Rating: 67 | Topspeed: 62
He’s hardly hiding from the assessor, but he keeps running his race and that counts for plenty in a contest like this. The recent form figures are those of a sprinter knocking hard on the door, and that Topspeed mark of 62 is the best on offer here. Drawn in 4, he should be able to get a handy stalking position without being trapped wide, and Liam Wright knows exactly the type of ride this seasoned seven-year-old needs. At 6/4 he is no secret, but he is still the one with the fewest questions to answer and looks hard to oppose in a modest heat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Beneficiary – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Billy Garritty | Trainer: Liam Bailey | Form: 227270 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 57
You have to forgive a poor latest run, but there is enough earlier in the profile to make him interesting at this level, especially from the inside stall over a trip where early position is everything. He has been competitive off similar marks and doesn’t need to improve much to hit the frame in a race of this quality. Billy Garritty is a positive booking for a horse who should be ridden positively from gate 1, and 15/2 looks fair if you think he can bounce back to the form that saw him go close more than once. Not bombproof, but definitely the value each-way angle. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Man On A Mission is the win bet because he brings the strongest recent form and the best speed figure into a weak Class 6 sprint. For a bit of value, Beneficiary makes appeal each-way from stall 1 at 15/2. Arlington is the obvious danger if rediscovering his sharper form, while Stash The Cash is capable of outrunning his price if the race sets up kindly.

15:30 – Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 4f | Class 3 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is an intriguing little 4f novice rather than a deep one, and the market is likely to revolve around the obvious pair: debut winner Shes Got A Brother and the Balding newcomer Reigning Queen. The former brings the most concrete recent evidence after making a winning start, while Society Kiss has the standout official rating of 93 despite ending last year with a duck egg and returning from a break. Queen Sana and Dance Of Angels have bits of form, but both look to need a fair step forward in what should be a sharp, tactical dash. Around Southwell’s Tapeta over the minimum trip, gate speed and professionalism matter plenty, so this could easily come down to who breaks best and who handles the surface with least fuss.
Top Selections
1. Shes Got A Brother – 11/8 with Sky Bet
Jockey: Billy Garritty | Trainer: Michael & David Easterby | Form: 1 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 71
She sets the standard on what we know rather than what we hope. A winner first time up, she already looks streetwise for this sort of assignment and that counts for plenty in a 4f novice where inexperience can undo raw ability. The Topspeed figure of 71 is solid in the context of this field and stall 2 should help Billy Garritty keep things uncomplicated from the outset. There may be sexier profiles in here, particularly the Balding debutante, but proven pace and professionalism are hard to oppose at Southwell. At around 11/8, she’s no giveaway, though she still looks the percentage call. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Society Kiss – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Doughty | Trainer: John Mackie | Form: 10- | Rating: 93 | Topspeed:
She’s the slightly awkward one, because the profile is mixed but the bare figures give her a squeak. A mark of 93 is the best on offer here and that immediately puts her in the conversation if returning in the same vein. The worry, of course, is that last sight of her was a flop, so you are buying a bounce-back as much as anything. Still, this is not an especially deep novice and if she breaks on terms she has the class to make 7/2 look more than fair. In a nine-runner race with three places on offer, she makes some each-way appeal behind the obvious favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple: Shes Got A Brother is the win play because she’s the only one arriving off a recent victory and already looks suited by a sharp test. For an each-way punt, Society Kiss makes most appeal on class figures if rediscovering her best. Reigning Queen is the clear danger on debut for a powerful yard, while Dance Of Angels is another who could outrun her price.

16:05 – Come Racing For Free 18th June Handicap
Race Details: 1m 4f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a competitive enough Class 6 for the grade, with a few arriving in proper nick and not much between the principals on official figures. Jack Andrea is the obvious starting point after back-to-back wins and he’s entitled to plenty of respect despite a wide draw, while Tupero has quickly found his feet for David O’Meara and is clearly a major player stepping into this slightly deeper contest. Night Bear keeps knocking on the door and Eagles Whistle has been holding his form well, so there are solid place candidates lurking behind the market leaders. The question is whether you trust recent winning momentum or side with one that still looks ahead of the assessor. In that respect, Tupero appeals most, while one at a bigger price makes each-way sense.
Top Selections
1. Tupero – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: David O’Meara | Form: 86-612 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 39
Tupero looks the percentage call. He got off the mark two starts ago and backed that up with a solid second, so the recent form line is the right one coming into a race like this. O’Meara’s horses are always worth a second look in these all-weather handicaps and Daniel Tudhope is exactly the sort you want aboard in a tactical 1m4f contest at Southwell. He’s drawn well enough in stall 3, carries a fair weight, and still gives the impression there could be a bit more to come from a 4yo who is only just putting things together. At 3/1, he’s not a giveaway, but he still makes plenty of appeal.
Bet: WIN
2. Night Bear – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Doughty | Trainer: Tony Carroll | Form: -42342 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 60
Night Bear is the each-way play because he keeps running his race and this level is well within his compass. The 9yo isn’t hiding much from the handicapper, but the sequence of placed efforts tells you he remains reliable and his latest second was another reminder that he’s not far away from cashing in. He’s on a mark of 77, has a workable racing weight, and his Topspeed figure stacks up respectably against these. Tony Carroll’s veteran should get this run to suit if they go an honest gallop, and 8/1 feels fair for a horse with such a dependable profile in a race where a few of the others still have something to prove over the trip.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Tupero is the win bet, plain and simple, as he looks progressive and arrives with the right recent profile. For those playing each-way in a 10-runner race with three places, Night Bear makes more appeal than some of the shorter-priced alternatives because he’s so consistent. Jack Andrea is the obvious danger after two wins, while Eagles Whistle also has claims if getting a smooth trip from stall 1.

16:35 – Conference & Events At Southwell Racecourse Handicap
Race Details: 2m | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is the sort of staying handicap that won’t take much winning but still makes for a proper puzzle. A few arrive here in decent nick without looking bombproof, headed by Sullivan Bay, Regal Glory and Apache Eagle, all of whom have been knocking on the door in this grade. Different Drum is prominent in the market, but that latest duck egg needs forgiving, while Charlie Darling has bits of staying form that give him a squeak if the race gets messy. Over this 2m trip at Southwell, patience and a willing attitude count for plenty, and I’d rather side with runners who are already proving they can keep finding at the business end. It’s not a strong Class 6 by any means, but there are enough in-form stayers here to make it competitive.
Top Selections
1. Regal Glory – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Roger Fell | Form: 493724 | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: 54
Regal Glory looks the percentage call in a race full of runners with questions attached. He has been running consistently well, his recent form figures reading much better than plenty of these, and that mark of 65 is perfectly workable in a Class 6 staying handicap. The topspeed figure of 54 is also one of the better numbers on offer here, which matters in a race lacking depth. Connor Beasley is the sort of rider you want in a contest like this, and at 9/2 he makes more appeal than some of the flimsier market principals. He holds strong claims if settling into a rhythm early and seeing the trip out as expected.
Bet: WIN
2. Apache Eagle – 15/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Kiely Marshall | Trainer: Jessica Bedi | Form: 727632 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 52
Apache Eagle is the each-way play because he keeps giving himself a chance and doesn’t arrive here needing a leap of faith. The recent 727632 sequence suggests a horse holding his form well, and his latest second says he’s still very much in the groove. From stall 1 he should be able to save ground, which is no bad thing over this trip, and his rating of 64 leaves him right in the thick of it at the weights. He’s not obviously ahead of the assessor, but in this company reliability counts for plenty. Available at 15/2, he looks a fair each-way punt to hit the frame and possibly more if things fall right.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Regal Glory is the win bet because he brings the strongest recent body of form and looks solid rather than speculative. Apache Eagle is the each-way alternative in a field of 11, with his consistency making him easy to warm to at the prices. The obvious dangers are Sullivan Bay, who has been knocking hard on the door, and Different Drum if bouncing back from that latest poor effort.

17:10 – Ladies Day Sunday 16th August Handicap
Race Details: 6f | Class 6 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This is a typical Southwell sprint handicap where plenty arrive with a chance but not many look bombproof. Mount Ruapehu heads the market after a productive spell and is easy enough to make a case for, while South Shore has been knocking on the door and should be involved if getting a clean run from the outside stall. Dr Ali is another in form and looks dangerously well treated despite the rise for his latest win. Further down the weights, East Tyrone and Tommytwohoots are the sort who can outrun their prices in this grade, while Pinjarra has become a bit of a guessing game after a flat effort last time. It’s not a deep race, but it is a mildly tricky one, with recent sharpness likely to count for plenty over this 6f.
Top Selections
1. Dr Ali – 7/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jonny Peate | Trainer: J R Jenkins | Form: -41721 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 65
Dr Ali makes plenty of appeal in a race where the obvious ones are not exactly thrown in. He arrives on the back of a win, his recent form figures are solid for this level, and he gets in here carrying only 125 despite sharing the joint-highest rating in the field. That makes him immediately interesting in a Class 6 sprint where small weight edges can matter. Jonny Peate knows how to deliver one late off this sort of mark and the gelding looks in the right groove at present. Available at 7/1, he looks overpriced against rivals with similar profiles but less wriggle room from the handicap. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. East Tyrone – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Cam Hardie | Trainer: Philip Kirby | Form: 743373 | Rating: 71 | Topspeed: 61
East Tyrone is not especially flashy, but he is the kind of solid handicapper who often pays his way in races like this. Those recent figures tell you he keeps turning up and running his race, and from a low weight of 122 he doesn’t need to improve much to hit the frame again. Drawn in stall 2, he should be able to hold a handy enough position, and that consistency is worth respecting against a few more mercurial types. He may lack the upside of one or two younger rivals, but at 10/1 he looks a sensible each-way punt in a contest where several of the market principals have a question or two hanging over them. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Dr Ali is the win play at the prices, with his current form and light weight making him the most attractive betting proposition. East Tyrone is the each-way alternative, chiefly because he keeps running to a level and looks well enough drawn to make the first three. Mount Ruapehu is the obvious danger, while South Shore also has to be respected if the wide stall doesn’t leave him too much to do.

17:42 – Free Tips On attheraces.com Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard (Tapeta) | | flat
This looks a tight little seven-runner handicap rather than a race packed with hidden depth, and the market has it about right with several arriving with similar claims. Shamacid, Receipt and Cill Mocheallog are the obvious trio to focus on, while Phoenix Of Dreams has enough recent consistency to keep himself in the argument. The interesting angle is whether recent all-weather form holds up strongest, because Southwell’s Tapeta can reward those who travel smoothly and see out the trip properly. Cill Mocheallog comes here off a win and has the best Topspeed figure in the field, while Shamacid has been knocking on the door and still looks well capable of landing one of these. Dapper Gee Gee is not easily dismissed either, but this feels more a race for solid handicappers than a breakout performer.
Top Selections
1. Shamacid – 3/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Daniel Tudhope | Trainer: S Woods | Form: 34-863 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 62
Shamacid gets the vote because he has been shaping like a winner in waiting and his latest third suggested this mark is very workable. He is one of the joint-highest-rated horses in the field, and while his form figures do not scream certainty, they do paint the picture of a horse holding his level in slightly stronger races than this. Daniel Tudhope is the sort of booking that catches the eye in this grade, and from stall 6 he should have options rather than getting trapped on the rail. At 3/1, he is not exactly a secret, but he still makes plenty of appeal in a race lacking a standout. Bet: WIN
2. Cill Mocheallog – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Probert | Trainer: Dean Ivory | Form: -71091 | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: 71
Cill Mocheallog is the each-way play simply because his recent win gives him momentum and that Topspeed figure of 71 is comfortably the best on offer here. He is another sitting on a mark of 83, but unlike a few of these he arrives having just got the job done, which counts for plenty in a race where several have become a touch expensive to follow. David Probert is a positive booking for a horse who should be delivered late off what ought to be an honest pace. At 4/1 he is hardly overlooked, but in a seven-runner race with three places on offer he makes plenty of sense as the solid each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Shamacid is the main play and looks the most likely winner if reproducing his latest effort, so he is the straightforward win bet. Cill Mocheallog is the safer alternative for each-way backers, with recent winning form and the best speed figure in the field. Receipt is the obvious danger if improving again after just three starts, while Phoenix Of Dreams is another who could easily hit the frame.
