The chronic weather that’s nobbled a lot of the transport across the country hasn’t managed to stop the action at Southwell this afternoon, and the first goes off at 12:30 at the Nottinghamshire venue.
Abraj Dubai could scarcely have been more impressive when winning on debut over course and distance last time and goes again in the 14:30 - Southwell Sunbets.co.uk Handicap this afternoon.
She was deeply taking both visually and on the clock that day and should make a bold display from a plum central draw this afternoon, with any amount of improvement forthcoming. The preference, just, at the prices, however, is to support a course specialist who can be found further down the market.
Custard The Dragon is five from seven at the course and can show an improvement on his recent form back at a course that he goes strongly at. While he’s been a touch disappointing on his last few starts, this Kyllachy gelding has slipped back to his winning mark and is a solid each-way proposition. For those interested in W/O fav markets, he could be taken to win with the talented Abraj Dubai removed from the equation.
We’ll be taking a good, old-fashioned each-way option and hoping that Custard The Dragon can pick up some place money, worst case scenario.
