Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Wid heads our ratings on 90, narrowly ahead of The Third Star on 88, and that edge is enough to make Wid the one to beat in this eight-runner Class 4 over a mile at Southwell. The Third Star is the chief danger, with Always Happy on 87 and Thaluna on 86 also close enough to make it a competitive contest, though none of them can match our top-rated runner on figures. Wid has the best numbers in the field and is the one they all have to beat at Southwell. Wid is our selection.

Always Happy has finished second last time out and second two starts back, with a win three starts back, so she arrives in solid form and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 87 ranks her third of eight, but the main risk is a 141-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Finley Marsh
Owen Burrows 3/13
Won last time out and sits second and second before that, so this filly arrives in cracking form, and our rating of 88 ranks her second of eight; she has run over today's trip and going, though 44 days off and 137 lb are the main risks.

George Boughey 4/22
Radiance is yet to win in her last five starts, though a third two starts back and another five starts back show she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip and going. A sixth last time out after 28 days off and 136 lb from stall four leave her a midfield sort, ranked fifth of eight on our rating.

Rhys Clutterbuck
Ralph Beckett 5/40
Wid heads the field on our figures, having finished second last time out, just 14 days ago, and she has a win three starts back in her recent form. She has run over today's trip and on the going, though 135 lb from draw 6 is a notable burden.

William Haggas 10/60
Thaluna has been consistent, with a second, two thirds and two fifths in her last five starts, and she has run over today's trip, so she looks a real threat on a 28-day break from draw 2. Our rating of 86 sits well above her mark of 80, though she is yet to win and carries 132 lb.

Patricia R is hard to fancy after a seventh last time out and an unplaced run before that, though she did win three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 131 lb from draw 7, she ranks seventh of eight on our figures.

Marco Ghiani
Marco Botti 4/21
Graniteville won last time out just seven days ago, but that came after a fourth, a fourth and a sixth, and she's hard to fancy under 130 lb off an official mark of 78. Having run over today's trip and going is a plus, though our figures rank her last of eight.

Shane Gray
Kevin Ryan 1/30
Mandarin Spirit has been running consistently with a fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back and another fourth three starts back, and she has run over today's trip, but she is winless in her last five and her yard is out of form at 1/32. Our rating of 83 sits above her official 71, though it only ranks her sixth of eight.
