We’re all set for a big day out at Sky Sports Racing, with Southwell’s Flat action accompanying the Doncaster and Bangor’s Jumps cards
1.25 Doncaster – Pyramid Place and Homme General Competition Feature
Ollie Murphy The location of the pyramid He scored ninth over hurdles when comfortably given a good handicap at Kempton last month and could take a lot of beating with a top mark of just 6lb.
General ohm He has struggled since scoring over fences here in March, but has bounced back to form a solid fifth over hurdles at Bangor and is rated a senior 2lbs lower here.
Santos Blue He would be famous after winning at Uttoxeter on his last start, while Coniston George It was narrowly rejected in Carlisle and is appealing either way.
2.40 Bangor-on-Dee – Mahland, Strachan and Plessier des Flos vs
Mahland He cleared the hurdles at his fifth attempt at Ffos Las on his final start of last season and looks the type to improve further in this area before tackling fences.
Place des fils He has been in good form this year having won on five occasions since March, and achieved the best performance of his career when he finished third at Cheltenham last month. He should be afraid in the Jack Hogan era.
Henry Daly Strachan He broke his slowness over hurdles when landed easily in the Novice Handicap at Uttoxeter 19 days ago, but a 9lb rise in weights means he will need to step up to the plate again.
5.45 Southwell – Title of recent winners Heathens and Sobers
A competitive relationship with a few star-studded rivals.
Jay Kelleway trained Sober It was his third all-weather win when he claimed a comfortable victory over Wolves and this three-year-old is here to follow him this winter.
David O’Meara’s Heathen returned to winning ways on his return to this track last month and remains unmasked over this extra distance, while Clockmaker deserves a mention on his second handicap start.
