Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Angel Love No. 3, stall 6
Nicola Currie · Kevin Philippart de Foy
✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Angel Love is our selection at Southwell, and the case rests on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that count for plenty in a competitive 11-runner Class 4 sprint. She is rated 80, six pounds behind the top-rated Arabian Leopard, so she is not the best on paper, but the improvement she has been showing and her sharper condition give her a chance of closing that gap. Arabian Leopard is the main danger, with Lady Roxby just a pound behind and Anaisa a few pounds ahead of our pick on 83, so none of the three can be dismissed. Confidence is low, but Angel Love is the one to side with.

Arabian Leopard arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third, a third and a second before that, and she has run over today's trip, making her a leading threat from stall two. The one concern is a 396-day absence, with 139 lb to carry too.

Lady Roxby is bang in form after a second last time out, backed by a second four starts back and another three starts back, and she's fresh from a seven-day turnaround, having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in her last six, so finding that breakthrough is the main risk, especially carrying 138 lb.

Charlie Tucker (7)
Michael Herrington 6/17
Powdering is winless in her last six, though a fifth last time out and thirds four and six starts back show she can pick up a cheque, and she has run over today's trip and going. Quick back-out after seven days and 135 lb hold her back, though our 82 rating ranks her fourth of eleven.

Courageous Sioux arrives a double winner, successful last time out and two starts back after a fifth three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 132 lb from draw nine after 34 days off, she is hard to fancy, with our rating of 75 ranking her ninth of eleven.

Callum Rodriguez
Richard & Peter Fahey 3/36
Lunar Melody was fifth last time out, and she has a second four starts back, so she's consistent without cracking it, yet to win in her last five. She has run over today's trip and going and comes off a 30-day break, but 130 lb from stall eight and a mid-pack ranking of seventh of 11 hold her back.

Duran Fentiman
Tim Easterby 6/58
Anaisa is a leading threat on our figures, with a third three starts back and a fourth two runs ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before after a 26-day break. The risk is that she is yet to win in her last six, and she was unplaced last time.

Fantasy Obsessor is yet to win in her last six starts, though a third last time out and a second two starts back show she is competitive, and she has run over today's trip and going. Ranked 11 of 11 on our figures, she is hard to fancy, but the yard is in form.
