Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Desert Falcon is our selection for this 14-runner Southwell sprint, and his progressive profile is what sets him apart in a competitive Class 3. He rates 99 on our figures, just four pounds behind the top-rated Hammer The Hammer on 103, and the upward trajectory makes him the more appealing proposition at this level than the top-rated rival. Hammer The Hammer is the chief danger given his rating, with Purosangue on 98 and So Darn Hot on 95 also firmly in the picture, so this is far from a straightforward task. Even so, Desert Falcon's improvement can carry him past a rival with the higher figure.

Edward Bethell 5/19
Atomic Force won five and six starts back and was second and third in the two runs after, but he was unplaced last time out and returns after 49 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, and carries 138 lb from draw 9, with our rating of 93 placing him seventh of 14.

Unplaced in each of his last five starts, Hammer The Hammer hardly looks a threat on form, yet he has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 103 ranks him top of 14, well clear of his official 93. The main risk is that 42-day absence and a winless run, carrying 137 lb from draw 8.

Ryan Sexton
Julie Camacho 2/26
Desert Falcon is our pick on overall profile: he has run over today's trip and on the going before, and a 42-day break gives him a fresh edge. His recent form is modest, though, and he carries 136 lb from draw 13, while our rating of 99 puts him second of 14.

Finley Marsh

Beaten into ninth last time and unplaced the start before, Caballo Grande has lost his way since a pair of wins three and four starts back, and a 177-day absence adds doubt. He has run over today's trip and going, but 135 lb off 92 looks a lot to ask.

Lewis Edmunds
Julie Camacho 2/26
Third in each of his last three starts and a winner four runs back, Indian Run has been consistent without quite getting his head in front lately, and he has run over today's trip. A 35-day break and a stable out of form (one winner from 24) temper enthusiasm, though our rating of 94 ranks him fifth of 14.

Ralph Beckett 6/38
Bolo Neighs was a fourth last time out just 17 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, but he is winless in his last six starts and was only a fifth three starts back. Our rating of 92 is just above his official 90, though carrying 134 lb from draw 11 looks a stiff ask.

Unplaced last time and just one win in his last six, though he was second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before; ranked 11 of 14 on our figures, he looks tough to fancy off 133 lb from stall 7.

Kieran O'Neill
Linda Perratt 0/5
The Caltonian is winless in his last six, unplaced last time out after a third two starts back, and he returns from 44 days off with 133 lb on his back. He has run over today's trip and going, but ranking 12th of 14 on our figures makes him hard to fancy.

Rowan Scott
Kevin Philippart de Foy 1/19
So Darn Hot is a leading threat on our figures, ranked fourth of 14, and he has run over today's trip and on this going, with a third two starts back showing he can get involved. The risk is a winless record in his last six starts, including an unplaced effort last time out.

Kind Touch comes in on a run of three straight seconds and is fresh from a run just 12 days ago, with experience of today's trip and going, but he's yet to win in his last six starts and carries 130 lb from stall 10. Our rating of 91 ranks him tenth of 14.

Marco Ghiani
Robert Cowell 3/11
Purosangue has run over today's trip and going, and he's back quickly after 12 days, with our rating of 98 putting him third of 14 and well clear of his official 85. Winless in his last six, though, and a fifth last time out is the best of his last four runs, so consistency is the worry.

Evening Blues is winless in his last six, though a third two starts back and a second four starts back show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going. Unplaced last time and 48 days off hold him back, while the yard's 6/20 run is a plus from stall five.

Novello Lad is hard to fancy, having finished sixth last time out and been unplaced in three starts before that, with his lone win six starts back now a distant memory. He has run over today's trip and going and returns after 26 days from draw 14, but our rating of 85 ranks him last of 14.
