Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Betsen heads our ratings on 91 in a competitive 13-runner sprint at Southwell, and that is enough to make him the pick, though only narrowly. Shes Got A Brother matches him on 91 and is the chief danger, while Glamorous Breeze is just a pound back on 90 and Night Storm is three pounds adrift on 88, so this is far from a one-horse race. Betsen gets the nod, though there is little to separate him from the market principals, with the rest of the field further behind from 85 downwards. Betsen is our selection, on a low-confidence basis.

George Scott 2/14
Moulin Booj won last time out and again three starts back, with a fifth in between, and has run over today's trip and going, though 28 days off and carrying 137 lb from stall one. Our rating of 84 sits seventh of 13, below his official 87, which tempers the optimism.

Glamorous Breeze has finished in the first three only twice in her last six, but a third four starts back and a second six starts back show she can bridge the gap. Our rating of 90 ranks her third of 13, and she has run over today's trip and going; the risk is a ninth last time out.

Harry Davies
Lisa Williamson 0/1
Sugar Hill Babe has run over today's trip and going, and she was a winner three starts back, but she has finished a sixth then a ninth since, so her form has cooled. Carrying 134 lb from stall seven off a 21-day break, she looks a midfield type, with our rating of 81 ranking her ninth of 13.

Tony Carroll 2/32
Betsen steps up on a third two starts back after a ninth last time, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 91 tops the field of 13 against an official 83. The one reservation is a stable out of form, but he looks the one to beat from stall 2.

Rhythm N Hooves bounced back from an eighth two starts back with a second last time out, and he returns after 21 days having run over today's trip and going, though a win three starts back is sandwiched by three eighths in his last six. Our rating of 85 puts him fifth of 13, and 132 lb from stall four leaves little room for error.

Henrythenate was unplaced last time out and has only the one win, two starts back, in his last six outings, with a 41-day break to overcome. He has run over today's trip and going and the weight is 130 lb from stall 13, but our figures rank him 12th of 13.

Wateen is hard to fancy, having finished seventh last time out and sixth in each of the two runs before, and she is winless in her last five. She has run over today's trip and going and is 28 days fresh, while our figures rank her tenth of 13.

Almaty Star was second last time out and has a third three starts back, and he is fresh enough after 18 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Against that, he is just one win in his last six starts, and 128 lb from draw 9 leaves him looking midfield on our eighth-ranked rating of 81.

Michael Appleby 8/25
Bona Fortuna won last time out and was second two starts back, while a 26-day break looks fine and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 84 ranks him only sixth of 13, and a 74 speed figure suggests he may lack the pace to dominate from draw 12.

Billy Garritty
Michael & David Easterby 2/23
Our figures make Shes Got A Brother a leading danger: she has run over today's trip and going, returns after 24 days, and a third six starts back is her best recent finish. The risk is a poor run, with a ninth last time out and yet to win in her last six.

Alondra won two starts back but was unplaced last time, and the form line is patchy, with an eighth and a fifth before that. Her yard is cold at 1/29, and she is ranked last of 13 on our figures, though she has run over this trip and going before.

Kanishka is hard to fancy, unplaced in his last three outings and winless in his last six, with a yard that is 0/27 in the last 14 days and a 48-day absence to overcome. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back shows he can go close.
