Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Pappa Louis is our selection at Southwell, and his progressive profile is the reason we prefer him to Regalian, who is only three pounds better on our figures at 78 against his 75. In a tightly packed 13-runner Class 5 over 11 furlongs, a horse still on the upgrade can overturn that small gap. The dangers are Regalian himself, Light Speed (77) and I'd Go Maniac (76), all within a few pounds and capable of making this a tight finish. Pappa Louis looks the one to be with, as improvement can tip the balance in a closely matched contest.

John Butler 1/17
Sea The Light arrives a last-time-out winner after just ten days, which is a positive, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, his previous four runs were a seventh, an unplaced effort, another seventh and a sixth, and he carries 144 lb from draw 13.

Alan King 0/15
A leading danger, this gelding won two starts back and has finished in the first four in three of the other recent runs, with a third and a second among them, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 76 sits above his official 70, but the main risk is a disappointing ninth last time out and a 56-day break.

David Nolan
Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood 0/4
Regalian tops our ratings at 78 against an official mark of 69, and he's back after 17 days having run over today's trip and going before, so the speed figure of 79 makes him a threat. The risk is a poor run of form: he's yet to win and finished ninth last time out.

Rob Hornby
Mark Loughnane 2/17
Pappa Louis has finished second in each of his last three starts, which makes him our pick on profile, and he has run over today's trip before; a 419-day absence is the one reservation, though he is rated 75 on our figures and drawn two.

West Tyrone has been out of the first three in his last two runs, unplaced last time and a seventh two starts back, though he did win three starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 137 lb from draw 7, he looks hard to fancy, with our rating of 66 ranking him 11th of 13.

Ruth Carr 1/20
Light Speed has run over today's trip and going, and is back quickly after 14 days; our 77 rating ranks him second of 13, with a speed figure of 80 standing out against an official mark of 67. The risk is a winless run in his last five, with a fourth three starts back his best finish.

Callum Shepherd
Charlie Clover 2/7
Harlington was second last time out and fresh enough after 20 days, having run over today's trip and going before, but a fifth and an eighth in the two runs before that, plus 137 lb from stall five, temper the appeal. Our rating of 71 ranks him seventh of 13.

P. J. McDonald
David Evans 1/12
Meet Me In Meraki won back-to-back two and three starts back, but he was only seventh last time out, so the form has cooled. He has run over today's trip and going and returns after 20 days, though 136 lb from draw 11 is a stiff ask for a ninth-ranked runner on our ratings.

Harry Vigors (5)
Faye Bramley 2/11
Chambers was fourth last time out and a winner two starts back, but he has been off 90 days and the rest of his recent form (seventh, fifth, fourth) is modest. He has run over today's trip and going, though our figures rank him 12th of 13, and 134 lb is a lot to carry.

King Chaos won four starts back but has since faded, finishing a seventh, then an eighth, before going unplaced last time, and he returns after 80 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 68 ranks him eighth of 13, though 132 lb from stall 6 is a stiff ask.

Silky Lass is hard to fancy after a ninth last time out, an eighth and another ninth before that, though she was second four starts back and has run over today's trip and going. She's yet to win in her last six, and our figures rank her tenth of 13.
