All eyes are on Southwell this afternoon as a thrilling seven-race card takes center stage.
2:30 Southwell – Unassuming Aims to Overcome 5lb Penalty
Unassuming made a strong impression on his stable debut for George Boughey with an impressive victory over course and distance. Despite facing a 5lb penalty, he remains a formidable contender.
Calanthe, trained by Archie Watson, won at Lingfield with Hollie Doyle aboard and has shown solid performances at Kempton. After finishing as a runner-up behind Dembe last time out, he is expected to deliver another strong race.
Runners Zenato and Arantes Nascimento warrant attention as well, with Danny Tudhope set to ride Zenato.
3:40 Southwell – Petra Celera, Embarked, and Airshow Return
Billy Loughnane partners with Petra Celera, who has been in fine form, notably winning over this course and distance against Embarked and Airshow. To succeed today, she needs to improve from her last performance while carrying a 5lb increased weight.
Embarked appeared poised for victory before being narrowly beaten by Petra Celera. After a disappointing outing over a mile, he is set to drop back to 7f today, which provides him a favorable opportunity despite retaining the same handicap mark.
Completing the trio is Airshow from Rod Millman’s yard, who backed up his previous wide-margin success at Salisbury with a solid second at Kempton off a mark of 69.
4:50 Southwell
Sir Mark Prescott presents Judgementofsolomon, who previously displayed impressive form at Pontefract before idling in front. After a 4lb rise for that performance, he holds strong winning prospects.
Environment Amigo, trained by James Fanshawe, is a previous course winner, having triumphed over Judgementofsolomon, who finished fourth that day. He will need to step up to confirm his previous form, especially as the distance extends to two miles.
Also in the mix are Clockwatcher and Aztec Sun, rounding out the competitive lineup.
