Southwell 11th Nov (AW)

3.30 Southwell Little course form but many in good heart on the polytrack and could well take to the surface for a winter campaign. The one that interests me the most is the irish raider hes cool who was last seen romping home in a handicap at wolverhampton over 3f further so aslong as taking to the surface and shorter trip he is likely to go well again off a 9lb higher mark. They All Laughed looked back to something of his best when 3rd last time out over 2f further at catterick and is a previous cd winner and has a good record on the aw scene with a 50% strike rate in getting placed, is not easiest to win with especially on this surface with his exaggerated hold up tactics but at an e/w price who is worth a chance and is now 12lb lower in handicap since winning around here in march this year! Astroleo is gonna be a huge danger having been lightly raced and now 1lb lower than last win over cd in july and wasn’t disgraced last time out at lingfield but a trip back round here just might do the trick. 0.5pt win hes cool 0.25pt e/w they all laughed 0.25pt e/w astroleo 4.00 Southwell Looks a tough handicap to crack but Bonnie Prince Blue won in good style in august in awful conditions at catterick and has since held good enough form to take something like this having previously won over CD off a 2lb higher mark last year and a good draw will also help. Premier lad is lightly raced and has spent all his time round here since winning a maiden here and is likely to go well again if fit but has gone well fresh before 0.25pt e/w bonnie prince blue 0.25pt e/w premier lad

Re: Southwell 11th Nov (AW) 1.30 - Charging Indian I put this one up in the thread last time when it won at 9/1 and I'm sticking with him. There are a couple of former Listed class horses in this Claimer which adds a bit of spice but both of them are obviously in decline or they wouldn't be here. The selection seem to be on the upgrade. Finished down the field in a Kempton claimer which has thrown up a lot of winners, then stepped up in trip for a close up 5th at Newcastle and won here over 11 furlongs. The extra furlong today should see him improve again as he looks a real stayer. Was impressive last time, held up and finished like a steam train to spreadeagle the field. For an EW shot I fancy Majehar - he's won here a couple of times, has been lightly raced this year but finished well to take 2nd in a similar race at Kempton last time. Might improve a bit for a return here where he usually gets placed. Win - Charging Indian EW - Majehar
