Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Midnight's Dream No. 1, stall 4
Jack Nicholls · Joseph Parr
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Midnight's Dream heads our ratings on 62, five pounds better than Yes Waliim on 57, and that is a meaningful edge in a modest Class 6 contest at Southwell. With 14 runners the race may be messy, but she has the clearest superiority on our figures and gets the vote on merit. Yes Waliim is the chief danger, with Eldeyaar and Timebar both on 56 and well capable of getting involved if the pace falls their way. Confidence is low given the size of the field, but Midnight's Dream is the sensible choice at this level.

Jack Nicholls (3)
Joseph Parr 2/9
Midnight's Dream bounces out quickly after winning last time out just two days ago, and he has also run over today's trip and on this going before. He's a consistent sort who has finished in the first three in four of his last six, while our rating of 62 makes him the one to beat, though he does carry 135 lb.

Donagh Murphy (5)
Richard Hughes 1/22
Yes Waliim has a solid profile, a fourth last time out, 17 days ago, and a second three starts back, with a win four starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him second of 14, though a sixth two starts back shows his consistency can wobble.

Alistair Rawlinson
Edward Smyth-Osbourne 0/5
Fresh from a win last time out, 24 days ago, he has run over today's trip and going, but a sixth, fifth, eighth and seventh before that show the consistency is thin. Carrying 132 lb from draw 3, he sits fifth of 14 on our rating, so a repeat looks a tall order.

Peter Niven 1/4
Little Beck Annie bounced back with a second last time out and has run over today's trip and going, though two fifths in the two runs before that and a 36-day break temper the case. Our rating of 53 sits sixth of 14, and she carries 131 lb from draw 14.

Rossa Ryan
Clive Cox 7/29
Able Astra is winless in her last five, though back-to-back fifths last time and two starts back show she's in a steadier vein, and she's fresh enough after 16 days; she has run over today's trip and going, but 130 lb from stall 11 and a ranking of eighth of 14 by our rating keep her in midfield.

Cam Hardie
Antony Brittain 1/14
Eldeyaar arrives in solid shape, third last time out and second two starts back, with a fresh 19-day gap and experience of today's trip and going. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last six, and he carries 129 lb from stall 6.

Paul Mulrennan
Alison Hamilton 0/1
Winless in his last six, Turbo Command was unplaced last time out, a fifth two starts back, and a sixth three starts back, though a third four starts back shows he can go close. He has run over today's trip and going, and a 20-day break suits, but 128 lb from draw 7 asks plenty.

Roy Bowring 1/2
Timebar has finished second in three of his last five, including two and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 56 ranks him fourth of 14. The risk is a seventh last time out and a 60-day absence, though he is still yet to win in that spell.

Jack Callan
Mark Rimell 0/3
Coiled is winless in his last six, with a sixth last time out and a ninth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip and going and is fit enough after 16 days. Our rating of 45 puts him twelfth of 14, and he carries 126 lb from stall one.

Maury bounced back with a second last time out after a string of seventh-to-ninth finishes, and he's fresh from a run 10 days ago, having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he's rated 47 by us, ninth of 14, so the ceiling looks limited.

My Mate Beattie is winless in her last six, unplaced in her last two and a seventh three starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 126 lb from stall two. She has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back is the best of her recent efforts.

Lady V is winless in her last five, though a fifth last time out, just ten days ago, is her best finish in that spell, and she has run over today's trip and going. Official mark of 47 and a ranking of tenth of 14 on our rating suggest a midfield role from stall nine.
