Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Zabriskie Point looks the one to beat in this 13-runner Class 6 seven-furlong event at Southwell, as our figures put him 7 lb clear of his nearest rival, which is a meaningful edge in a modest contest like this. Blackjack is the chief danger on 59, with Little Beck Annie and Coulsty Exchange both a few pounds further back on 56 and capable of making the frame if our selection slips up. A big field on the Southwell sand can bring trouble in running, but Zabriskie Point has enough in hand on our ratings to be our selection.

Alan Brown 0/4
Blackjack is yet to win in his last six, but a third two starts back and another third four starts back show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him second-best of 13, though a ninth last time out after 42 days off is the main worry.

James Sullivan
Ruth Carr 1/20
Bad Habits has been in the frame often, with a third two starts back and a win three starts back, but he was only sixth last time and returns after 35 days. He has run over today's trip and going, yet carries 135 lb from draw 10, and our rating of 54 has him seventh of 13.

Little Beck Annie arrives in good heart after back-to-back seconds, last time out and two starts back, and she is fresh from a 14-day break, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 56 ranks her third of 13, though 134 lb is the main hurdle.

Sean Levey
Adrian McGuinness 4/36
Zabriskie Point has been consistent without a win, with a third two starts back and a second six starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Fresh enough after 17 days, he runs off 133 lb, and our rating of 66 makes him the one to beat, though he was only fifth last time out.

Sanditon was a seventh last time out, though a second two starts back shows he can pick up a cheque, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six and with a yard 0/31 lately, he looks a midfield type from draw 7.

Kevin Stott

Ardaddy was third last time out and is yet to win in his last six starts, though a 201-day break raises fitness questions. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 54 sits above his official 51, but he is ranked only sixth of 13 from draw 4.

Tilsworth Max has been in the frame in two of his last three, third last time out and a second two starts back, but he's yet to win in six recent runs and carries 130 lb off a mark of 50. Has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him tenth of 13.

Iain Jardine 1/24
Coulsty Exchange comes here in good heart after a second last time out, just 13 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 56 sits above her official 50. The main risk is a yard out of form, with just one winner from 24 in the last fortnight.

Marco Ghiani

Mini Mac won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he's back after just two days, and a fourth two starts back and an unplaced run before that show some inconsistency. Carrying 135 lb from draw 3, he sits fifth of 13 on our rating.

Mickey Mongoose was fourth last time out, just 14 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but he has only one win in his last six starts, back six outings ago. Our rating of 51 ranks him ninth of 13, so he looks a midfield type from draw 8 off 127 lb.

David Allan
Gemma Tutty 2/11
Diligent Henry is winless in his last six, finishing sixth last time out and fifth two starts back, and he returns after 130 days off, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, but ranking 12th of 13 on our figures says plenty.

Regal Guest has finished eighth last time out, and before that a sixth, a sixth, a seventh and another sixth, so he is winless in his last six after a 72-day break. He has run over today's trip and going, but our rating of 37 ranks him 13th of 13 from stall one.

Mark Walford 1/19
She's A Goldigger is hard to fancy, beaten into eighth last time out and a seventh the start before, while the yard is cold at 1/20 over the last 14 days. On the plus side, she has run over today's trip and going, and the 43-day break gives her fresh legs.
