Southwell Race 1 - Midnite Churchill Stakes (Listed)

SHADER (2) arrives off the back of a stylish 9L victory in the listed Floodlit Stakes at Kempton Park four weeks ago. Drops marginally down in trip here but sure to take beating looking progressive. Globe trotting DUBAI HONOUR (1) has his first start in the UK since finishing second in this at Newcastle last year. Remains as good as ever and dangerous. ROYAL PLAYWRIGHT (4) has scope to improve after a busy campaign. Disappointed at Newmarket last time when held 4.5L behind the winner. Needs more. PALAZZO BLU (3) was a good winner of a handicap here sixty eight days ago. Up in grade and needs to improve

Second-up today. Last outing favourite; won by 9 len at Kempton Park All Weather LR Floodlit Stakes November 3 over 2400m defeating West Wind Blows with 60.5kg at $2.10. At only start last preparation made ground from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Haydock Park on May 31 over 2400m, 1.5 len behind Stressfree carrying 60kg at $3.80. The one to beat based on that latest effort. In form and looks a top chance again.

Last start 5th of 10 at Newmarket (Rowley) in the LR James Seymour Stakes on November 1 over 2000m, 4.5 len behind Liberty Lane with 58.5kg at $12. Before that won by 1.3 len at Goodwood September 24 over 2000m on a soft track defeating Mister Rizz with 61.5kg at $1.70. Rates highly on best form so he can turn things around.
