All today's tips ›If I Could Dream No. 6, stall 1
Cieren Fallon · Stephen Hanlon
✓ Top rated ✓ Trainer in form (2/8, 14 days)
If I Could Dream heads our ratings at 80, and that makes her our selection for this Southwell eight-furlong contest. She is only a point ahead of Medway Queen on 79, so the margin is narrow, but she still holds the best figure in a field of ten. Medway Queen is the main danger, with Bofa Beach and Filly Eilish both on 76 and well capable of reaching the places, while the rest look to be a few pounds further back. We side with If I Could Dream to get the job done.

Jim & Suzi Best 0/9
Liberate has run over today's trip and going, and she won four starts back, but she's finished seventh and ninth in her last two outings, so the form is cooling. Quick back-out after 13 days and 138 lb give her plenty to do, though our rating of 72 keeps her in the mix.

Jason Hart
William Muir & Chris Grassick 2/12
Medway Queen arrives in cracking nick, third last time out and a second two and three starts back, with just 15 days since that run and experience of both today's trip and the going. Yet to win in her last five, she carries 138 lb from stall five, and that top-weight burden is the main risk.

David Egan
John Butler 3/19
Bofa Beach arrives in fine heart, a second last time out and another second two starts back, just 17 days after her latest run, and she has run over today's trip. Still yet to win in her last six, so finding that elusive breakthrough from 137 lb is the main risk.

Callum Shepherd
Charlie Johnston 3/38
Alterity has a win three starts back and two thirds before that, but she was unplaced last time out and a sixth two starts back, so the form has cooled. She has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 24 days, though 136 lb from draw 6 looks a stiff ask.

Unexposed filly who won three starts back, though she has managed only a sixth last time out and an unplaced run before it, so there may be more to come. She returns after 37 days off, carries 136 lb from draw 2, and is with a stable currently out of form.

Cieren Fallon
Stephen Hanlon 2/8
Our top-rated runner, she was third two starts back and has run over today's trip and on the going, returning after 21 days off. Winless in her last five and unplaced last time, but an 80 rating against an official 68 makes her the one to beat from stall one.

Filly Eilish arrives in sound form after a second last time out just ten days ago, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 76 makes her a leading threat, though a single win in her last six starts is the concern.

Imola has only one win in her last six starts, and that came six starts back, since when she has managed a fourth last time out and little else. She is back quickly after 10 days, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks her eighth of ten.

Hector Crouch
James Tate 2/10
Blue Celestial is winless in her last six, though she has been second twice in that spell and fourth last time out, so she is consistent without ever landing a blow. A 65-day break and 130 lb from stall eight are hard to ignore, but she has run over today's trip and going.

Ivan Furtado 2/29
Gilleangirl is winless in her last five, finishing unplaced last time, seventh two starts back and eighth five starts back, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going before, and a fourth three starts back is the best of it, though our figures rank her ninth of ten.
