Race 1 – Southwell Racecourse
PERCUSSION has improved measurably with each start and since he was last sighted 2nd on chase bow logic dictates he should go one better for Laura Morgan. CAWTHORNE LAD was a powerful performer when scoring at 25/1 on chase bow at Stratford and demands respect. Eyes will be on him to back it up but the 9lb hike is likely to be felt.
Top Tip – PERCUSSION (4)
One to consider – CAWTHORNE LAD (1)

UNE DE LA SENIERE was outclassed in 4th when upped in grade at Wincanton. Now trying chasing she might find her groove under the careful eye of Fergal O’Brien. ALPHA CARINAE needed the run when 3rd on comeback after a long break and wind surgery. It isn’t hard to imagine Olly Murphy’s mare firing up now.
Top Tip – UNE DE LA SENIERE (1)
One to consider – ALPHA CARINAE (3)
Race 3 – Southwell Racecourse
LIGHT N STRIKE was a reliable hurdler without winning and showed similar aptitude when 2nd behind a useful type on chase bow at Kempton last month. He went one better when scoring with a huge 19 in hand at Plumpton 15 days ago. He has been handed a hefty 8lb rise but looks primed to handle it well. HEARTBREAK KID made a pleasing comeback when 3rd at Sedgefield early this mong. Off a 1lb lower mark he should be fighting fit and can feature.
Top Tip – LIGHT N STRIKE (1)
One to consider – HEARTBREAK KID (3)

Race 4 – Southwell Racecourse
BRIDAL KNOT gets a nod on debut for Nicky Henderson who does exceptionally well here in the bumpers. She has some useful names in the family tree and should know the task at hand and do it well. CARRIGDOUN BOY is respected on rules/yard/UK bow for Jonjo O’Neill after winning between the flags in Ireland.
Top Tip – BRIDAL KNOT (10)
One to consider – CARRIGDOUN BOY (3)
Race 5 – Southwell Racecourse
CHAMP IS REAL showed plenty to like in 5th on debut in a competitive Wetherby bumper back in March. Now returning to make hurdle bow he has strong appeal for a compelling first attempt over timber. CALIDAD weakened late at Fontwell when 2nd on comeback and could be better off for this drop in trip.
Top Tip – CHAMP IS REAL (2)
One to consider – CALIDAD (1)

Race 6 – Southwell Racecourse
LYDFORD was a useful flat performer under Roger Varian before being picked up by Dan Skelton. He proved a competitive recruit when 2nd by just a head on his first spin over hurdles. Wind surgery had the desired effect and he can fire up well here. MIDNIGHT CENTURION was denied by a neck to a progressive rival on his own hurdle bow at Uttoxeter over this trip. He has struck the crossbar over C&D in the bumpers and can offer stiff resistance.
Top Tip – LYDFORD (6)
One to consider – MIDNIGHT CENTURION (7)
Race 7 – Southwell Racecourse
KILLANE improved for the shift to the handicaps when scoring at Ayr late last month. He and the runner up were well-clear of the pack and he can double down off a modest 4lb rise. THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE was an encouraging runner-up at Worcester latest and could sharper up further now sporting cheekpieces.
Top Tip – KILLANE (15)
One to consider – THUNDERSOCKSSUNDAE (8)
