8/1
Difficult to win with nowadays, but is much better than a Class 7 handicapper; 6lb lower than when finishing second to the dead-heaters Fareeq and Archie Stevens (over C&D) on return from a similar absence in April 2018.

3/1
24-race maiden who hasn't seen his fortunes transformed (yet) by the astute Michael Appleby; drops to a career low handicap mark (48); relatively unexposed wearing blinkers; first start over 5f for many a moon (very keen over 1m latest).

Winner on turf at Nottingham (5f) in August 2018, but still searching for a first win on the AW (0-10); makes her Fibresand debut.

Former Irish racer (0-11); keen early and ultimately well beaten on stable debut in a 6f Chelmsford Classified Stakes (5/2f) last week.

17/2
Regular visitor to this track (a five-time Southwell scorer); hasn't done enough in recent starts to suggest a return to winning ways is imminent.

14/1
15-race maiden; bought for a mere €1,000 in November 2018; largely untested on the AW (0-1 on Polytrack), albeit very difficult to build any form of solid case for her chances.

Unruly in the paddock and finished last of 14 on handicap debut at Newcastle (5f) last week; treat with immense caution in newly-applied cheekpieces; very risky proposition.

16/1
Sole career win came back in 2015 (Lingfield); raced prominently until weakening from the furlong pole at Newcastle (5f) last week; only marginally more appealing than his stablemate Jean Excels.

33/1
0-12 on the AW; dwelt and always in the rear (finished last of 14) when last seen in competitive action over C&D 114-days ago; makes no appeal whatsoever.

7/2
Has slipped steadily down the weights since November 2018 (a total of 12lb); campaigned exclusively on Tapeta on the AW so far (0-7); best run came on sole start over 5f; more interesting than the vast majority in newly-applied blinkers.

20/1
Cost 40,000gns as a foal; hasn't finished in front of too many of her rivals in three career starts (6f-7f); blinkers on for handicap debut from a lowly mark in a dire race.

Forecasts

Admiral Rooke (3/1), Gunnabedun (7/2), Rock In Society (5/1), Poppy Jag (6/1), Groundworker (8/1), Coiste Bodhar (17/2), Tookiedoo (14/1), Men United (16/1), Doti (20/1), Jean Excels (25/1), Robbian (33/1)

Verdict

All of those declared are unlikely to ever find a better winning opportunity than in this Class 7 handicap, which in truth is potentially one of the weakest races run on the All-Weather all winter. Gunnabedun could feasibly take a step forward on Fibresand debut for Carrutherstown handler Iain Jardine in newly-applied headgear, whilst it remains early days for Rock In Society with John Butler. However, although difficult to win with nowadays, the top-weight GROUNDWORKER is a cut above this level of opponent, so with Paul Mulrennan booked to do the steering for Paul Midgley can be strongly fancied to record a sixth career success.
