Only Southwell on today

The all-weather fxtures at Lingfield this afternoon and Kempton in the early evening have been abandoned, because no ambulances are available.

This leaves Southwell´s fixture this afternoon as the only racing today. The two best races are class 4 sprint handicaps. At 14.10 CET they go over 6 furlongs, and we expect top-weight Autumn Blades (Alan Bailey/ David Probert) to have a good chance.

He is in good form, having won 2 of his 3 races, and usually runs well here. Green Park (Declan Carroll/ Derek Nolan), who won at Wolverhampton last time over 5 furlongs, could be a danger, but he seems to be better over the minimum trip. That is the distance at 15.40, and oldtimer The Tatling (Milton Bradley/ Jack Dean) is the choice here; at 13 years of age he is no longer as quick as he used to be, but should still be capable of taking this. Another veteran in the field is 10yo Pawan (Ann Stokell), who has been below form on his recent starts but is now very nicely handicapped.
