Southwell Race 5 - Always Gamble Responsibly At Betmgm Novice Stakes (Gbb Race) (Div 1)
CHAMPAGNE POWDER (3) has experience and showcased his ability on plenty of occasions without winning in the past. Encounters the all weather for the first time. Leading form player with blinkers adopted. DIGUB (9) is a two-start maiden who offered more hope on debut than with latest when back from a break. Will come on for that outing and looks a serious contender. MOON BEGINNINGS (1) impressed finding success on debut over 1400m at Chester eleven weeks ago. Tough under a penalty however is talented. FAR AND ABOVE (4) provided a fair third most recently which was an improvement. Needs more again and capable if gaining a run that suits.

First-starter by Iffraaj out of Collate. Hard to recommend without a market push.
