12:15 (Souhtwell) Hurlerontheditch
Hurlerontheditch showed plenty of ability last season with multiple placed efforts.
Unlucky to fall at the last at Warwick when 25 lengths clear over three miles on seasonal return and can make amends now.
Rates a top chance if delivering a clear round in the opening Harry Cobden Race Previews At Planetsportbet.Com Handicap Chase.
Sageburg County found success by eight lengths attempting a course and distance handicap chase in this grade last week and will be the main danger.
Firak scored narrowly at Hexham in April and makes for appeal on that form, while Eaton Collina could place.
12.45 (Southwell) Somespring Special
Somespring Special can get back on track in the Racing Specials Every Day At PlanetSportBet EBF Mares’ Novices’ Handicap Chase.
Winner of two of her five hurdle spins, Anthony Honeyball sent her to Wincanton for her fencing bow but having cut out the early pace, she dropped away tamely and was pulled up, with the vet reporting she had lost a shoe.
It is perhaps best to put a line through that form and try again.
13:15 (Southwell) Abaya Du Mathan
Abaya Du Mathan has been going well this season including a smart second in a handicap chase at Doncaster last month.
Expect the 11-year-old to be a leading player in the Best Odds Guaranteed At Planetsportbet Handicap Chase.
Howyouplaythegame was a solid third at the same meeting attempting a 2m novices handicap chase and could go close.
Casa Tall and Hokelami could sneak into the places.
13:50 (Southwell) Queensbury Boy
Queensbury Boy won an Irish point-to-point in March and profiles well on paper for this race.
Finds an ideal opportunity and rates a likely player when resuming in the Bet 10 Get 10 At Planetsportbet National Hunt Flat Race.
Ted's Gift maintains a promising profile having placed both starts to date over 2m at Worcester and will be a strong threat .
Ace Of Spades and A Pro Po shouldn't be discounted either.
14:20 (Southwell) Tedtwo
Tedtwo placed twice before a success attempting a two mile jumpers flat race at Catterick and a seventh in a higher graded contest at Kelso during March.
The Get Emma's Xmas Cracker's At Planetsportbet Maiden Hurdle looks like a good opportunity on hurdle debut.
Smurfette represents the Skeltons and produced a decent fourth on first hurdle outing at Warwick over two miles last month, so should be included.
Golden Ambition filled the same position at a massive price contesting a Lingfield 2m3f novices hurdle and hold claims.
14:50 (Southwell) Classic Concorde
Classic Concorde scored tackling a higher graded three mile handicap hurdle on soft ground at Ffos Las and will have a great chance of doubling up in the Download The Planetsportbet App Handicap Hurdle.
Zwicky ran well at Doncaster attempting a handicap hurdle when third. Won a big field handicap hurdle prior at Carlisle, so should be respected.
Drop Flight makes for appeal on seasonal return following a close second in a Hexham three mile hunters chase during April.
15:20 (Southwell) Annie Day
Annie Day returned from a break finding success by a neck tackling a similar level handicap hurdle at Warwick.
Looks set to replicate that success in the final race of the day the Bet & Watch At Planetsportbet.Com Handicap Hurdle.
Major Fortune ran with credit at Exeter finishing fifth in a 2m1f handicap hurdle. May go close with this event looking easier.
Begoodtoyourself won attempting this handicap hurdle grade on Sunday at Carlisle and makes for appeal if turning up.
Southwell selections in full:
SOUTHWELL: 12.15 Hurlerontheditch, 12.45 Somespring Special, 1.15 Abaya Du Mathan, 1.50 Queensbury Boy, 2.20 Tedtwo, 2.50 Classic Concorde, 3.20 Annie Day
