Race Favourite

WRATH OF HECTOR is the current 9/4 favourite for this trip* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

He collected a second on his reappearance run in December and that was here at Southwell. Wrath Of Hector is also a former course and distance winner.

The blinkers go back on and he can’t rule out of this one after sticking to the task well on his last effort.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

DAAFR enjoyed a drop in drop to 7f when he scored last week here at Southwell.

It was a commanding three-length victory that he took as well.

There is a 5lb penalty that he deals with in this one, but that’s probably not going to slow him up enough.

The other major player in this competitive fixture is MOTAWAAFEQ. He is another that is caring about a penalty.

His latest effort saw him score over course and distance 9 days ago. Despite that 5lb rise, Motawaafeq should be well in the mix here, as he always goes well at Southwell.

Motwaafeq is our selection at 4/1* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill)

Race Favourite

MAYKIR is the strong 10/3 favourite in this fixture* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

A bid for a recent hattrick just failed 9 days ago when he was out over course and distance. It was False ID that got the better of him.

But the tables could be turned as Maykir is now 3lb off than that rival who he re-opposes.

There have been four course and distance wins from Maykir before and has some more bold claims on his return.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CUSTARD THE DRAGON could feature here as he was narrowly beaten by a head on his penultimate start.

But he is a seven-time winner here and is only up 1lb from that narrow miss.

On his latest run, he was fourth at course and distance 11 days ago. Custard The Dragon is a seven-time winner at Southwell.

The other selection is going to be INTERNATIONAL LAW who comes onto the fibresand for the first time. But he should be a threat if he gets to grips with it quickly.

International Law was second on a run at Wolverhampton 8 days ago and could be waiting to pounce.

Lion’s Vigil 11/4
Straight Ash 3/1
Termonator 11/4

Race Favourite

The race favourite in a pretty tight market here is LION’S VIGIL at 11/4* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

There was a second-place finish from him behind Straight Ash on a course and distance handicap a couple of weeks ago.

But Lion’s Vigil now has a slight advantage of being 3lb better off than that rival. So the low-mileage gelding should have a decent chance of getting in the frame.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

STRAIGHT ASH is going to be good enough to get close, we feel at 3/1* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

There was that score ahead of Lion’s Vigil last time out for Straight Ash in a nine-runner event. That was by almost a two-length margin.

But he was staying on the well in that one and should have something of a chance of following up if he is back anywhere near that form.

GRIMSTHORPE CASTLE enjoys a run at Southwell and could have a say in this one.

He is a former course and distance winner after scoring three wins from sixteen efforts last year.

He was here at Southwell nine days ago when he was fourth of sixth on a shorter trip. Coming back up to a longer effort should suit him well.

Race Favourite

AUTUMN WAR is the current 2/1 favourite* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

He will be looking for a hattrick as he comes back into action on Tuesday. He was last seen scoring here at Wolverhampton in a handicap 39 days ago.

That form was franked with two of the ones that he beat in that fixture going on to win since.

So coming back down on the trip here, Autumn War should have a strong hand here.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MY GIRL MAGGIE is such a reliable runner having made the places in all eight career starts.

She has form here as well having won a couple of times before.

My Girl Maggies goes as our 9/4 selection for this* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

She looks good enough to shrug off a 4lb rise.

HORN OF PLENTY is the other one to get on the shortlist in this contest. She was fourth on her latest run, which was 17 days ago at Lingfield.

That was a very credible effort. What piques interest is that she won over course and distance in November. She’s one to watch.

Race Favourite

HERON’S NEST is leading the way at 5/2* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

There was a second-place finish for her last time out in a field of eleven. That was a course and distance 19 days ago.

She gets the cheekpieces back on as well and it’s hard to imagine her not going close again after rattling the crossbar the last twice.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

TURN OF PHRASE made her handicap debut recently and put on a very good show to claim a runner up spot that.

It was only the fourth race of her career as well so there should be a lot more to come. There is certainly something there to build on.

Turn Of Phrase catches the eye at 6/1* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

The final one for the shortlist is going to be BELL HEATHER who should have some place claims. The mare is a 3-time course and distance winner.

This is her first run in almost three months after taking a credible 3rd in a field of 12 here at Wovlehrmatpon. Not to be discounted.

Race Favourite

The 5/2 market leader is NORTONTHORPE BOY* (betting odds recorded 21:11 GMT on Monday, 25th January 2021 at William Hill).

It has been a very good campaign from him so far and he is a course and distance winner as well.

On his last run, which was a couple of weeks ago, he eased to a comfortable win at Kempton at a mile.

There is a rise of 6lb in the ratings for him to deal with. But the progressive performer may not be quite done improving yet.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

MAJESTIC TEJAAN looks a threat in this one as well. The lightly-raced filly was second at Newcastle on her last run.

She will need a little bit of improvement, but she is fine on the Tapeta and therefore can get in the picture.

The final section on the list is FAYATHAAN who was third at Newcastle behind Majestic Tejaan in that one.

But that effort came after scoring on his reappearance in January at Lingfield. Needs a step forward too but may not be far away.
