Southwell Race 6 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Novices' Limited Handicap Hurdle
CLASSICAL STING (1) Failed to finish in a chase at Leicester. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Tracking very well this campaign. Good form for this class and absolutely good enough for this race. LONE SOLDIER (4) Outpaced some runners late when 5th last start in a chase at Market Rasen but coming back in distance. Rates strongly. STEEL SOLDIER (5) Produced an eye catching run when 3rd beaten by 5 3/4L last time in a hurdle at Huntingdon. Keep an eye on the market. THIS SWAY (2) Didn't threaten when 9th last run in a hurdle at Kempton and will be down in distance. Should race on the speed. Could run into the placings.

Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last run eased back early on finished fifth of 7 starters at Market Rasen on February 1 over 3800m, on slow going 13 len behind Florita with 67kg at $3.30. The run before finished second of 9 runners at Market Rasen on January 16 over 3400m, on slow going 1.0 len behind El Rojo Grande with 65kg at $6. Well suited here, should prove hard to beat.
