Oldest contender in this field but retains plenty of ability and justified favouritism here last time, beating a subsequent scorer and taking Southwell record to 5-14; may remain competitive. |

Returned from a short break with a creditable third at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) last month but he struggled back at 6f there last time; has something to prove again after that major blip and and this trip is an unknown factor; rare cheekpieces (tried last time) are removed. |

11th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 4 |
8st 12lb |
Ended a lengthy losing run when scoring over C&D last month; didn't get any luck next time, but he was a bit disappointing when heavily backed here (5-4 favourite) ten days ago and that was behind Midnight Lion; still looks on a workable mark but he needs to step up again after that last run. |

5th 9 (6) |
1st Jan 2025 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Has ordinary strike-rate of 4-43 but his last win was over C&D last month and he didn't get a clear run at things when a 2l fifth here on Saturday; just behind Urban Road in that race and could be a big factor if he gets some luck this time. |

Completed a Tapeta double off this mark at Southwell (7f) in November but he's finished down the field in last three runs and was well below form at Wolverhampton last time; has some questions to answer and he needs to bounce back near best; cheekpieces removed. |
