Verdict

Not the best contest ever staged at Southwell but here are a few that are dropping in grade and worth a look. LEONARD THOMAS had no chance the way the race he was in at Newcastle was run last time but judged on his two previous runs here a drop into this grade sees him with a major chance. Bushel has to be respected returned to this track with his record here and he’s now 1lb below his last winning mark. Both Avocet and Sharp Operator make their first starts here but have pedigrees that show they should be suited by this surface and that duo would be interesting with market support. Clayton Hall is worth a mention based on his last run here but he is quirky and not guaranteed to reproduce that run.
  1. Leonard Thomas
  2. Avocet
  3. Bushel
