Southwell Race 3 - Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap

CAPTAIN FOX (2) managed to break through for his maiden triumph over 1600m at Lingfield last time out scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and with more to offer rates the one to beat. GATEHOUSE (6) is a promising gelding yet to miss the frame after two starts including a victory. Not been seen since winning trying 2000m at Chelmsford. Could run well. MAGICAL MERLOT (5) returns from a six month break after ending previous prep with a 1.3L win tackling 1600m at Brighton. One of the better chances. Dangerous among this company. SOVEREIGN VIEW (1) was a dominant winner tackling 1600m at Newcastle. Among the leading hopes and completes the shortlist.
