Southwell Feb 10th (AW/Bumpers)

[chris34]

2.05 Southwell Decent looking handicap considering lack of runners and extra meeting, Absa lutte won well enough 7 days ago at kempton over this trip and has been in smashing this winter conerns are this is first try on fibresand and effectively 10lb higher today with a 4lb rise in handicap and 6lb penalty, also loss off claimer sets him 15lb wrong of last win and could be a tough ask but cant be written off completely! Colorus has a nasty habit of popping up every now and again but did string a couple good efforts together over CD but hasnt been in similar spark lately. Pawan often finds a couple too good and with Stokell on board well worth taking on. Indian Skipper is another frustrating sort often blows his races at the start often starting slowly and finishing with great speed cant really afford to do that on this surface, but has been running in much better races. That leaves Excellent Show he is the sort of horse that could relish this surface often up with/making the pace, he remains lightly raced and unexposed on the aw and has 4 starts on polytrack placed 3 and won 1, beaten only a head by useful rocket rob on penultimate start and beaten 2 lengths in second again by run away winner Billy Red up another 1lb for that but still looks open to further improvement with a small saver on Indian Skipper! 1pt win Excellent Show 0.25pt win Indian Skipper
