Southwell

Today, FlatClass 67f

Not much pace on paper but LATIN remains in good form having finished second over 10f at Lingfield on Monday and despite dropping back in trip, he still appeals as the most solid option from his lower all-weather mark. He's taken to land this at the expense of Imola, who shaped well when runner-up at Wolverhampton recently and looks a standout danger on return to 7f, while Instant Bond bounced back to form on the all-weather last time and is also respected.

    Verdict
    Won at Bath over 8f before finishing second twice in quick succession. Still in top form when second of 12 in handicap at Lingfield over 10f (3/1) on Monday, keeping on well despite traffic problems. Drops back to 7f here but still has strong claims capitalise on his lower AW mark.

    Verdict
    Has shown form at Southwell previously with a third in an 8f handicap. Second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9/1) on stable debut 19 days ago, running on strongly late after not getting a clear run approaching final furlong. Return to 7f should suit and she's a leading player back down in grade.

    Verdict
    Maiden has been poor on turf this season but bounced back to form when third of 10 in a 7f handicap at Newcastle (10/1) 35 days ago returning to AW. Still lightly raced for a 4-y-o and has claims if he can build on latest run.

    Verdict
    Winless in 23 starts since May 2023, fifth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 193 days ago, well-backed but ran modestly. Often well-supported in the betting and he's one to consider returning on a career-low mark.

    Won 7f handicap at Wolverhampton (11/4) 38 days ago after finishing second at this C&D, but disappointed when last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (4/1) 3 days ago, racing freely and weakening when short of room. Will need to bounce back on return to this C&D.

    Verdict
    Typically slow to start and races off the pace, but better effort when 4th of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (18/1) 9 days ago, making progress 2f out before weakening late on. Cheekpieces removed for this ease in grade (still 1 lb out of the handicap) but comes with risks attached.

    Quirky sort showed promise when third of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (9/1) over 6.9f in August but was fifth of 7 in handicap at Musselburgh (15/2) 64 days ago, weakening on first try over 9f. Returns to 7f trip today but will need things to fall right to get off the mark.

    Verdict
    Runner-up at Leicester in July but fifth of 13 in a handicap at Kempton (13/2) 20 days ago, when ridden too aggressively. Not much pace on here and 3-y-o isn't totally dismissed from 1 lb out of the handicap.

    Verdict
    Without a win in 19 races. Fourth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16/1) 184 days ago, never close enough to challenge and making only late headway. 1 lb out of the weights and needs to recapture earlier form to be competitive on his return.

    Verdict
    Showed some promise in novice races but didn't improve in handicaps, last of 11 in handicap at Redcar (20/1) 206 days ago, taking a strong hold on turf debut. Returns to AW after a long absence and will need to settle if he's to be more competitive.
