28/1
Latest win at Pontefract in October. Stiff task when eighth of 9 to Spycatcher in listed race at Doncaster (6f, good) 29 days ago. Not discounted back in these calmer waters.

4-time course winner. Respectable seventh of 15 in handicap at Doncaster (5f, heavy, 22/1) 6 months ago on his final run for Craig Lidster. Possibilities for his new stable.

Three wins from 12 runs last year and he recorded a career best when landing 7-runner handicap at this course (7.1f) 37 days ago. Can make his presence felt again.

C&D winner. Latest win here in January. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 22/1) 9 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.

Course winner. Off 4 months before a fading last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 38 days ago. Blinkers back on and needs considering with that run under his belt for his in-form yard.

C&D winner who completed a hat-trick in 10-runner handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Improving all the time recently so very much one to consider.

6/1
Dual 6f winner on AW last year. Off 6 months before coming in ninth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Newbury (6f, good) 16 days ago. Handily weighted here so he's a likely player now with blinkers added.

One-time smart sprinter but it's 19 runs since his last win in 2023. Eighth of 11 in handicap (9/2) at Newbury (6f, good) 16 days ago so more is needed.

18:15 Southwell - 27 April 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

James Ferguson has his team in good order so his leniently-weighted DRAMA is fancied to resume winning ways on the back of recent Newbury pipe-opener and bag a third AW victory here. The progressive Westmorian rates an obvious threat in his bid for a four-timer, while plenty of others can have a say in this highly competitive handicap, including Bergerac, Northern Spirit and Dutch Kingdom. Many A Star completes the shortlist.
