Today’s tip comes from Southwell where COBO BAY should make his ability to handle the suface count. Hayley Turner’s mount found only the progressive Mush Mir too strong last time over C&D but appeared to get home over the longer trip and shapes as if worth another chance away from such a progressive rival.

	Cobo Bay	2 points	Currently 2/1
	16:10 Southwell Jockey: Hayley Turner Trainer: C R Dore	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 4f Runners : 5

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where JACKIE KIELY could be too classy for these rivals. He won this with a bit in hand last year off just 1lb lower than his current mark of 52 and, although his recent form is uninspiring, can go well today if bouncing back to his best.

	Jackie Kiely	2 points	Currently 3/1
	13:45 Southwell Jockey: Mr C Martin (5) Trainer: R Brotherton	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 3f Runners : 12

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where it looks like a decent opportunity for OH SO KOOL to open his account. Stuart Williams’ representative achieved a mark of 75 in maidens last year and can confirm the promise of his recent Newcastle run on his AW debut.

	Oh So Kool	2 points	Currently 6/4
	13:20 Southwell Jockey: Ryan Clark (5) Trainer: S C Williams	Course : Southwell Distance : 5f Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where HOLYROOD returns to the level. Much depends on whether Chris Catlin’s mount takes to fibresand after being campaigned over hurdles in recent months but he will take all the beating if running anywhere near to his mark.

	Holyrood	2 points	Currently 3/1
	13:40 Southwell Jockey: C Catlin Trainer: Tim Vaughan	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 3f Runners : 5

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where OURS has to be seriously respected now eased into claiming grade. John Harris’ gelding has been acquitting himself well in handicap company of late and is a dual C&D winner. Today he is racing off a very fair weight and is in with a great chance.

	Ours	2 points	Currently 3/1
	14:35 Southwell Jockey: B McHugh Trainer: John A Harris	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m Runners : 7

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where David Nicholls has a horse who has shown signs of encouragement of late. JACK DAWKINS has dropped to a very attractive handicap mark and showed evidence that he could be about to capitalise on his penultimate outing at Pontefract.

	Jack Dawkins	2 points E/W	Currently 10/1
	13:50 Southwell Jockey: Billy Cray (3) Trainer: D Nicholls	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 3f Runners : 10

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where BUZZ BIRD brings a very impressive fibresand reputation to the table. Tim Barron’s filly is yet to run a bad race on fibresand and, freshened up from a mini break, rates the one to beat.

	Buzz Bird	2 points	Currently 7/2
	13:45 Southwell Jockey: G Gibbons Trainer: T D Barron	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m Runners : 8

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where a 6lb penalty doesn’t look enough to halt FLASH CITY’s progress. Barry Smart’s 3-y-o relished the switch to fibresand on Saturday, making all and winning going away in a C&D nursery and there could be plenty more to come from him following that opening success.

	Flash City	3 points	Currently Evens
	12:30 Southwell Jockey: A Carter (7) Trainer: B Smart	Course : Southwell Distance : 5f Runners : 6

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where a Garry Woodward gelding offers good appeal. KINGAROO is clearly thriving at present and made it two wins on the bounce when beating the reopposing Yossi in good style over this C&D a week ago. Today’s pilot has winning form on the horse and there is nothing of considerable worry to oppose him.

	Kingaroo	2 points	Currently 2/1
	13:30 Southwell Jockey: Andrew Heffernan (3) Trainer: G Woodward	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 4f Runners : 6

Today’s tip comes from Southwell where John Dunlop makes a rare trip to the course. There was plenty to like about MINIYAMBA’s effort at Kempton last time out, holding on for second place despite looking the likely winner over 2f out. The drop in trip is sure to help her cause and she won’t need to improve much to have these rivals chasing dust.

	Miniyamba	3 points	Currently 2/1
	13:10 Southwell Jockey: E Ahern Trainer: J L Dunlop	Course : Southwell Distance : 1m 4f Runners : 8
