Not a the hottest way to start the week with the selection at Plumpton on Monday failing to finish (improving through the field when terribly hampered by a faller and brough to a standstill) but that's behind us now and we move on to Southwell's trappy Tuesday card.
12:15, Golf and Gallop Package Handicap Chase
Awaythelad 4/1
Theformismighty is very lightly raced for a 7 year old and was an expensive recruit from the pointing field. He looks set to go off favourite and holds every chance but I narrowly prefer the chances off Awaythelad at a slightly bigger price. Ben Pauling's horse showed promise early in his career without winning but improved to bag 2 novice events in January before his form tailed off on his last couple of starts (albeit he pulled up in a big field handicap at Sandown). He's always looked a chaser and will come on for his chase debut at Lingfield 3 weeks ago. I'm sure he's better than a mark of 117.

15:15, Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap Hurdle
Kingoftheswingerz 7/1 each-way (5 places)
The final race on the card is a poor affair but has managed to attract a bumper field of 16. Well Done Dani is at least consistent (at a low level) and that alone will be enough to see him sent of favourite. Skiffle Man has done practically nothing in 3 runs so far but is priced up at around 4/1 simply because he comes from the Dan Skelton yard. Let's Sail Away doesn't look like one who puts it all in and races here off 12 stone and Glimpse Of Glory has been thoroughly disappointing this year. Kingoftheswingerz ran OK in a couple of poor hurdles last season before failing to find any form when sent handicapping in the spring. He returned fresh from a wind op to run a career best at Ffos Las 23 days ago when finishing a running on second of 15. That's just about as good form as you will find in this race and he's kept to a flat track here. If he can come on again for that, he should be going close and most bookmakers are paying 5 places here.
