Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Modern Times No. 2, stall 5
Mason Paetel · James Owen
✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (15/58, 14 days)
Modern Times is our selection, and he looks the right one to side with at Southwell, with a progressive profile and a fitness edge that count for plenty in a competitive Class 5 sprint. He sits only three pounds behind the top-rated Mr Dreamseller on our figures, a gap that his improvement and sharper condition should be able to close over six furlongs on the Standard surface. Mr Dreamseller is the main danger on raw ability, while Jellystone Park and North View are both capable of making the frame if the pace falls kindly. Modern Times gets the nod to edge out a tight, well-matched field.

George Bass
Jack Channon 0/9
Jellystone Park won three starts back and was second the run before that, so he has the ability, and he's fresh from a 13-day break with experience of both today's trip and the going; our rating of 79 ranks him third of nine. The main risk is two unplaced runs since that win.

Mason Paetel (3)
James Owen 15/58
Modern Times won two of his last six, taking successive starts three and four runs back, and he returns fresh after 15 days with experience of today's trip and going. A fifth last time out is a minor blip, and a yard in form (15/57 in the last 14 days) backs the call.

Hollie Doyle
Jessica Macey 0/10
Style King won two starts back and four starts back, but he was unplaced last time out and sits seventh of nine on our figures, which makes him hard to fancy at 134 lb from stall 6. He has run over today's trip and going, and 17 days since his last run is no concern.

Fair Y Isle won three starts back and was second two starts back, but she was only eighth last time out and returns after 181 days off; she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 76 puts her fifth of nine, carrying 133 lb from stall 9.

Zak Wheatley
Declan Carroll 0/7
Project Wallace was third last time out, but he is yet to win in his last three starts and returns after 81 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him last of nine, so he is hard to fancy from stall two.

Oisin Orr
David & Nicola Barron 2/8
Mr Dreamseller has run over today's trip and going before and counts a win four starts back, while our rating of 86 ranks him top of nine, though two sevenths in his last two outings and a 171-day layoff are the obvious concerns.

Molly Gunn (5)
Tony Carroll 2/38
North View is a leading danger on our figures, ranked fourth of nine with a speed rating of 76, and he has run over today's trip and going before, back after 17 days. The main risk is a slide to eighth last time out and a yard struggling at 1/37 in the last 14 days.

That's Random was beaten into eighth last time out and has finished sixth or worse in three of his last five, which makes him hard to fancy, though he did win two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him eighth of nine.

Tough Enough is yet to win in his last six starts and was only seventh last time, with 81 days off since, but he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 76 sits well above his official 63, so the ability may be there from stall 1.
