Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Dandyman Dan looks the one to beat at Southwell, with our rating of 95 putting him four pounds clear of National Honour and a good deal further ahead of the remainder, a decent margin in a seven-runner Class 3 over a mile. National Honour, on 91, is the principal danger and the one most likely to make him work, while My A'Ali Baba (86) and Tiora Time (83) are best viewed as chasing places unless the leader underperforms. Talamon, Drum Bay and Bowdens all look to have plenty to find on our figures. Dandyman Dan is the selection.

Oliver Cole 1/8
Third two starts back and a winner six starts back, Dandyman Dan has run over today's trip and tops our figures with a rating of 95, a shade above his official 94. A sixth last time and 50 days off are the only reservations for a gelding carrying 135 lb from stall seven.

Charlie Appleby 5/21
National Honour arrives in cracking form, a second last time out following back-to-back wins, and he's back quickly after just seven days. Having run over today's trip helps, but the main risk is 133 lb on an official mark of 92.

Rowan Scott
Charlie Johnston 2/29
Bowdens won two starts back but was only sixth last time out, and he has run over today's trip before. Rated bottom of seven on our figures at 73 against an official 79, with a stable going 1/30, he is hard to fancy from stall 1.

Hollie Doyle
Ralph Beckett 6/38
Drum Bay is hard to fancy after a poor eighth last time out and 50 days off, and he is yet to win in his last three starts, though a third two starts back and a second three starts back show he can go close. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks him sixth of seven.

Talamon heads into this with a second last time out, and a third two starts back and again three starts back, though he is yet to win in that run and has had 31 days off. He has run over today's trip, but our rating of 77 ranks him fifth of seven.

David Evans 1/15
My A'Ali Baba comes here fresh enough after 17 days, having finished fourth last time out, and our figures rate him third of 7 with a rating of 86, comfortably clear of his official 77. The main risk is a patchy run of results, with a ninth two starts back and no win in his last six.

Tom Clover 1/10
Tiora Time arrives off a 38-day break with a win four starts back and a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip before; our rating of 83 ranks her fourth of seven. The main risk is her form tailing off lately, a fifth two starts back then a ninth last time out.
