Southwell Race 1 - Book The Bistro At Southwell Racecourse Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

QUEENS WISH (5) was a ready winner over course and distance here in November. Not at the same level subsequently raised in weights since then. Given a big chance by the assessor and warrants respect revisiting this venue. FERN HILL (1) went well on soft ground at Chepstow a fortnight ago finishing second beaten 1L. Has been busy this winter, Holds every chance once again. HELL HOUND (4) dropped out of things tamely after an absence at Taunton on heavy ground in February. Worth giving another chance. ALWAYS BUSY (3) was fair in two starts this winter but weakened when not in contention at Chepstow three weeks ago. More needed.

Racing well. Last outing finished second of 11 starters at Chepstow on March 15 over 4700m, slow track; 1.0 len behind Express Surprise carrying 75kg at $23. The run before finished fourth in a small field at Huntingdon on February 19 over 4700m, on rain affected going; 22 len behind Sporting Ace carrying 71kg at $13. Sure to improve again. Further progress likely.

Racing second-up today. Freshened for 48 days. First-up after 16 months pulled up at Taunton on February 12 over 4600m. Previously second-up finished fourth of 10 runners at Ascot on November 2 2024 over 3900m, 8 len behind Ballytechno carrying 68kg at $4. Definite chance. Worth another chance and cannot be discounted lightly.
