It might be worth forgiving DOLLY DUPREE's defeat in a three-runner race over 1m here last time as she could regain the winning thread back under Theodore Ladd, who was on board for her two victories beforehand. Thedevilinneville was a staying-on second on his handicap debut over 6f here and warrants plenty of respect stepping up in distance with Luke Morris in the plate, while Sylviacliffs, Lincoln Red and Your Mothers' Eyes are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Dolly Dupree 2nd Thedevilinneville 3rd Sylviacliffs

BAROSSA RED has earned a rating of 78 with a number of solid performances thus far, including when a half-length second over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time, and this represents a decent opportunity for Andrew Balding's charge to open his account. First-time gelding Scat King is just 2lb behind the selection on official figures and should make his presence felt, while Battle Of Yarmouk and Ifreet can also get competitive.
Prediction : 1st Barossa Red 2nd Scat King 3rd Battle Of Yarmouk

15:00 Southwell

WARRIOR'S VALLEY has either won or finished runner-up on his last four appearances and Lewis Edmunds' mount, who is a triple C&D winner already, looks like the one they all have to beat in this contest. That said, Eternal Sun was only beaten a length by the selection here last time and she won't go down without a fight, with Mininggold just a further half a length behind in third that day. Jack The Truth also has a squeak with his mark continuing to drop.
Prediction : 1st Warriors Valley 2nd Eternal Sun 3rd Mininggold

A select but competitive sprint handicap in which Marble Bar would have to be considered if turned out immediately following his engagement in a similar race here on Wednesday. Crosse Fire has won two of his last three and is respected, but SAAHEQ is preferred ahead of Scott Dixon's charge on the basis that he has held his form well on the all-weather at Chelmsford and Newcastle in recent months and might not be done improving yet.
Prediction : 1st Saaheq 2nd Crosse Fire 3rd Marble Bar

Socialites Red held on gamely to score by a head from Dream Ally over C&D eight days ago but he may be vulnerable now turned out under a 5lb penalty. It might be worth taking a chance on ACE MASTER, who has winning C&D form in the book and was impressive when winning at Wolverhampton in November. Falcao is worth a market check too now sporting a first-time eyeshield as he remains well treated on the pick of his Irish form.
Prediction : 1st Ace Master 2nd Socialites Red 3rd Falcao

16:50 Southwell

COISTE BODHAR has not been at his very best of late but he is a five-time course winner and he should be capable of going well in a moderate event such as this. Gunnabedun failed to fire last time out but his previous form offers plenty of encouragement and he may improve for the application of first-time blinkers. The shortlist is completed by Admiral Rooke and Groundworker.
Prediction : 1st Coiste Bodhar 2nd Gunnabedun 3rd Groundworker

17:30 Southwell

Glutnforpunishment got off the mark at Lingfield last time out but that was a moderate two-runner event and he has to take a step forward to win this race. With that in mind, preference is for BONNEVILLE, who arguably put in a career best when hitting the crossbar last time out and was not disgraced on his sole previous start on Fibresand. Others to note are Smarter and Victoriano.
Prediction : 1st Bonneville 2nd Glutnforpunishment 3rd Smarter
