Thoroughly unreliable sort. C&D winner. Ten wins from 31 Flat runs. 8¾ lengths tenth of 12 to Miss Attitude in listed race at Deauville (5f, good to firm, 74/10) 18 days ago, slowly away. Comes with risks attached,

Produced a personal best when decisively taking 11-runner handicap over C&D 46 days ago. Raised 9 lb since but is not taken lightly.

Back from 12 months off when sixteenth of 20 in handicap (40/1) at York (5.4f, good) 8 days ago. May have needed that but others appeal more.

Twelve wins from 40 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Windsor in June. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form.

5 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Newcastle in June. 28/1, bit below form eleventh of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Not out of things.

Seen just 3 times this term and arrives on back of poor effort at York 8 days ago. Makes limited appeal.

1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Newmarket in July. 28/1, respectable fourth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, firm) 14 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Four-time C&D winner. Last of 5 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, good to soft, 10/1) 41 days ago. Dangerous if scaling a revival.

3 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in June. Creditable fifth of 20 in handicap at Goodwood (5f, good to firm, 11/1) 30 days ago. One of likelier contenders.

6/1
Resumed winning ways at Chelmsford City (5f) last month and backed that up with creditable second of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good to soft) 35 days ago. Just 1 lb hiigher now and is one for shortlist.

Latest win at Doncaster in July. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Course winner who bounced back to form when taking 14-runner handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 7 days ago. 5 lb penalty to carry now but holds solid claims nonetheless.

Gradually slipping down the weights and arrives on back of creditable third of 6 in handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) 4 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again.

Unreliable individual. Forty four runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 12 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others make more appeal. 1 lb out of the weights.

Against The Wind (3/1), Clarendon House (5/1), Tan Rapido (6/1), Canon's House (17/2), Brave Nation (17/2), Tatterstall (9/1), Northern Spirit (10/1), Paddy's Day (11/1), Existent (14/1), Emperor Spirit (28/1), Queen's Guard (33/1), Muker (33/1), Regal Envoy (33/1), The Bell Conductor (40/1)

20:45 Southwell - 28 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

TAN RAPIDO arrives in good heart and didn't get the smoothest of passages when runner-up at Yarmouth last month. He gets the nod. Northern Spirit and Against The Wind also appeal in an open-looking finale.
