1. Saisons D’or (IRE) – He has a strong record in March and recently won off a 3lb lower mark over the same course and distance. With a history of winning back-to-back races, he definitely deserves a spot on the shortlist.
2. Big Narstie (FR) – Although unpredictable, Big Narstie won over this course and distance last month and is only 1lb higher today. With the cheekpieces back on and the booking of Murphy, he catches the eye and could be a strong contender.
3. Split Elevens – While he’s back close to a career-high mark, he won’t mind the return to 7f and the race may be run to suit him. If everything falls into place, Split Elevens has the potential to be a serious competitor in this race.

1. Kiss My Face: Coming off a recent win at Newcastle and with a 5lb increase, this horse is in good form and should be taken seriously in this race.
2. Alchemystique: Performed well at Newcastle after a long break, finishing second, and could potentially build on that effort in this race.
3. Bird For Life: Although an unreliable individual, this horse has had three wins last year and could be a contender if it’s a going day.

1. Tom Tulliver: In great form recently, with two wins from his last three starts. He has claims in this handicap company and should be a strong contender.
2. Urban Road: Ran well after a 9-month break, finishing a creditable third at Newcastle. He’s expected to improve from that run and has a good chance to be in the mix.
3. Galton: A good second in a minor event at Newcastle recently, and with the visor added, he has the potential to make his presence felt once more in this race.

1. Written Broadcast (IRE): With a recent win at Wolverhampton and a fair 3lb increase, Written Broadcast seems to be in good form and has a strong chance of performing well in this race.
2. Crazy Spin: A four-time C&D winner, Crazy Spin has proven consistency and should perform well returning to 1m. With no obvious reason why she won’t go well again, she’s a solid choice for a top-three finish.
3. How Bizarre: Despite not having won in almost three years, How Bizarre put in a solid effort over C&D last month. If he can be more amenable and able to get his own way in front, he has legitimate claims to be in the top three.

1. Angle Land: With 3 wins in the last 4 starts, including a recent win at Chelmsford and a close second to Bert Kibbler over the same course and distance, Angle Land is in great form and could potentially improve even more.
2. Bert Kibbler: With 3 wins over this course and distance, and a career-best win in his latest race, Bert Kibbler is a strong contender. Although the 5lb increase in weight is a challenge, he should still be competitive in this race.
3. Mr Beaufort: A lightly-raced horse with potential for improvement, Mr Beaufort has a winning history and is now with a new trainer, David O’Meara. If he receives market support, he could be a very interesting runner in this race.

1. Jubilee Girl – With a course win in January and consistent runner-up finishes, she has demonstrated solid form. The first-time cheekpieces may improve her performance even further, making her a strong contender in this race.
2. First Charge – Coming off a win at Wolverhampton last month, First Charge seems to be in good form. With cheekpieces retained and only a 4lb increase, this horse is one to watch.
3. Notimeforanother – This unexposed horse has shown promise in novice events and will be running on handicap debut. With a pedigree that suggests potential for stamina, Notimeforanother is worth a close look.

1. Citizen General – This horse has shown significant improvement since being gelded and has won 3 of his last 5 handicaps. Although he has been raised another 8 lbs and is unraced since last October, he was showing great potential and could be a strong contender in this race.
2. Skye Breeze – Skye Breeze has improved with the 1m4f distance and the combination of cheekpieces and a tongue-tie. With recent wins at Wolverhampton and Newcastle, and a good second-place finish in his last race at Newcastle, Skye Breeze is in good form and should be considered a serious contender.
3. Greystoke – Greystoke has performed well in recent races, placing over 1m4f in his last three starts. Despite not having a win since April 2021, his consistent form makes him a strong each-way player in this race.

17:55 Southwell Fri 31 Mar 1m4f Hcap

1. King Athelstan (IRE) – A recent C&D winner with a creditable performance in his last outing. He is in good form and likely to give another strong performance.
2. Fighting Poet (IRE) – Finished a close second over C&D in his latest start with first-time cheekpieces. With only a 1 lb increase in weight, he should be competitive in this race.
3. Breguet Boy (IRE) – Won a minor event at Newcastle recently and retains scope for improvement in a handicap. His past performances over hurdles suggest he has the stamina for this race.
