Southwell Race 2

Weatherbys Nhstallions.co.uk Novices' Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)

Stake: $17,898

NEXT LEFT (1) scored by 15L among this company at Worcester over 4000m prior to a fair fourth tackling the same track and trip. Going well and in form. Rates highly. HOME SWEET HIGHWAY (5) caught the eye at Bangor-on-Dee when a 4.75L winner of a 4600m handicap hurdle two runs ago. Makes for plenty of appeal. THE KNIPHAND (2) holds ability on best form and looks interesting after ten months off. Warrants a market check. WALK OF NO SHAME (4) is a previous course winner. Rates next best.

Last run finished tenth of 11 runners at Compiegne 5yo+ HDLE CL2 on September 11 over 3600m, slow track; 29 len behind Doctor Squeeze carrying 70kg at $24. Before that finished second of 12 runners at Cartmel 3yo+ HDLE HCP (C3) on August 24 over 3400m, slow track; a nose behind Calevade carrying 74kg at $9.50. Looks safely held this line-up.
