Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Maynora looks the one to beat in this 14-runner Class 6 over a mile at Southwell, with our ratings putting him 6 lb clear of Battle Standard, a sizeable margin in a modest event like this. Battle Standard is the main danger, with Yoko and Desiderata both rated 60 and well capable of getting involved if the pace falls their way. The rest look to have plenty to find on our figures, and while this is a competitive-looking contest on paper, Maynora's superior rating is enough to make him our selection.
Runners
Zoe Lewis (5)
Thomas Faulkner 1/4
Desiderata won three starts back and five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so two wins in his last six starts makes him a real threat off 135 lb from stall 13. The risk is a seventh last time out, though he returns after just 18 days.

Jack Callan
Jack Morland 0/3
Battle Standard has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 61 ranks him second of 14, so he's a leading threat despite a fourth two starts back; the one concern is a 181-day absence after a ninth last time out.

William Pyle
Craig Lidster 1/13
Maynora is our top-rated runner and arrives fit after 14 days off, having finished a fourth last time out and a second three starts back. He has run over today's trip and going, and while yet to win in recent starts, our rating of 67 sits well clear of his official 55.

Yoko has run over today's trip and on this going, and she comes here fresh enough after 18 days, with a second five starts back her best recent effort and our rating of 60 ranking her third of 14. The risk is a winless run in her last five, including a sixth last time out, while she carries 133 lb from draw 9.

Liberty Bird is winless in her last six, with a seventh last time out, a ninth two starts back and a seventh three starts back, though she's fresh enough after 16 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 54 sits above her official 48, but 129 lb from draw 10 is a lot to carry.

Winless in his last six, though he has been second twice and third in that spell, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 36-day break and an unplaced latest run hold him back, but our rating of 55 sits above his official 51.

Pride Eye has been consistent without a win, finishing fifth last time out, fifth two starts back and second four starts back, and she's fresh enough after 18 days. She has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 128 lb from draw 3 off an official 47 leaves her with plenty to prove.

Bridgefoot Rambler is winless in her last six, with a seventh last time out after a fifth two starts back, and 43 days off makes her hard to fancy from stall 1. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and on this going, and a third three starts back is her best finish.

Tom Kiely-Marshall
Lawrence Mullaney 1/6
Starshot has been fading lately with back-to-back eighths, though a third four starts back shows he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Winless in his last six and returning after 49 days, he sits mid-pack on our rating of 54 from draw 8.

Forever My Girl is hard to fancy: she was unplaced in each of her last five starts, and she returns after 1566 days off. Her official rating of 32 is low, and she has run over today's trip, so that experience is the one small positive from draw 14 under 126 lb.
