Alpha Tauri14(ex 6)
Age: 11|  Weight: 9-8| J: Ben Robinson(7)| T: C Smith| OR:  65
4/1
Course regular who has ten wins to his name at the track over distances up to a mile. Latest win came on his last start here at a big price and could struggle to follow up under a penalty today.

Age: 6|  Weight: 9-7| J: Alistair Rawlinson(3)| T: M Appleby| OR:  70
5/2
Lightly-raced but capable sort who should be suited by the switch back to this surface (won twice here). Latest start at Newcastle (after a break) when he needed the run was creditable and the headgear worn for both his wins returns today.

Four-time winner on the AW but not on this surface and had run poorly on her last three starts; the last of which came in September on turf at Thirsk.

Stun Gunp22
Age: 7|  Weight: 9-4| J: T Hamilton| T: D Shaw| OR:  67
9/2
Looks a better horse on AW than on turf but still a relatively modest performer. Four-time winner on fibresand and generally runs well at Southwell. Latest win came over C&D in November off a 3lb lower mark and not disgraced on his most recent start here when third to Alpha Tauri off this mark, although he often gives himself plenty to do and can look an awkward ride.

16/1
Lightly-raced sort who won a maiden in December at Wolverhampton on his second start over an extended mile. Well beaten in two handicaps since and makes his debut on fibresand today.

5/2
Looks rejuvenated for his new yard winning two handicaps over C&D off marks of 48 and 58 and now up another 6lb here as he bids for his hat-trick. Form of both wins has been subsequently boosted and he should go close as he bids for another C&D win.

Age: 5|  Weight: 9-1| J: Danny Brock| T: J Butler| OR:  64
25/1
Lingfield winner in 2016 over 1m4f off a 1lb lower mark but has no experience of this surface and has looked out of sorts lately. Shorter trip looks to be against him here and presents a stern test on his Southwell debut.

Palindromep19
Age: 4|  Weight: 8-12| J: A Mullen| T: Ronald Thompson| OR:  61
25/1
Looks a modest sort with just one piece of relatively solid form to his name at Newcastle on his last start in 2016. Well beaten in two subsequent starts at Newcastle one a maiden and one a handicap.

Forecasts

Shearian (5/2), Playtothewhistle (5/2), Alpha Tauri (4/1), Stun Gun (9/2), Raashdy (16/1), Palindrome (25/1), Speculator (25/1), Cabal (50/1)

Verdict

A few here that can really act on this surface with none more so than Alpha Tauri, although he may well struggle to follow up off this higher mark given his rather inconsistent profile. SHEARIAN is 2/2 for Declan Carroll and he comes here seeking a three-timer and given his form so far at the track, he looks sure to go close to achieving that goal. Stun Gun is one that you can rarely leave out of the equation at Southwell although he does look to be a hard ride and likes a strong pace to run at. Playtothewhistle makes more appeal given his form at this track (with the headgear back on) today as he makes his second start for the Michael Appleby yard. 1. Shearian 2. Playtothewhistle 3. Stun Gun
