★★★☆☆

13/8 7/4 3/2
Nostrum arrives in top form, a winner last time out and second two starts back, and he's turned out quickly just five days later having already run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 92 is the best in the field, and only a hefty 143 lb gives pause.
AI verdict

SR 90 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

BillyB arrives in his best form, a second last time out and fresh from a 21-day break, with experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 89 ranks him second of 12. The risk is a winless record in his last six starts and a hefty 140 lb from stall 11.
AI verdict

SR 83 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six and unplaced last time out, Aisling Oscar is hard to fancy after 146 days off, though a second three starts back and experience of today's trip and going offer some hope. He carries 136 lb from stall seven, and our figures rank him tenth of twelve.
AI verdict

SR 51 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Won last time out, with a fourth two starts back and a fifth three starts before that, and he has run over today's trip and on the going before; our 86 rating backs the case as a leading threat. The one big risk is a 650-day absence, so fitness is a real question from stall 12.

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Won last time out, 13 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank Elite Approach last of 12 on 65, with a modest speed figure of 55. He also carries 135 lb off an official 79, so a rise for that win looks a lot to ask from draw 8.

Montezin won two starts back but was unplaced last time out, and he has finished fifth, eighth and fourth before that, so consistency is a concern. He has run over today's trip and going, returns after 33 days, and our rating of 83 (fifth of 12) sits above his official 77.

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Prince of Pillo has been unplaced in his last two and is winless in recent starts, but he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 86 ranks him third of 12, well clear of his official 72. The risk is a 35-day break after a run of finishes outside the first five.

King of Ithaca bounced back with a second last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but he is winless in his last six and was only eighth three starts back. Our rating of 78 sits above his official 72, though carrying 130 lb from stall three keeps him midfield.

Supreme Clarets signed off with a fourth last time out, 16 days ago, after back-to-back wins, so the form reads well, but he is ranked ninth of twelve on our figures and carries 129 lb from stall one. He has run over today's trip before, yet his rating of 74 leaves him with a fair bit to find.

Not That Guy won last time out and was second two starts back, a fine recent run after 23 days off, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 77 puts him eighth of 12, though, and carrying 128 lb from draw 10 leaves him plenty to prove.

Jersey Maverick has been creeping closer then slipping back, a fifth last time out after a fourth two starts back and a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he's off 127 lb from stall nine, with our rating of 80 suggesting a mid-pack bid.

War Howl is winless in his last six starts and hard to fancy, though a third last time out is a step up on a seventh and a ninth before it. He has run over today's trip and going, and lines up from stall 2 off 125 lb after 33 days off, but our ranking of 11 of 12 says plenty.

Nostrum
Confidence: Speculative

Nostrum (SR 90, 13/8) is the class standout in this field by a meaningful margin — 7 SR points clear of the next-best BillyB and Not That Guy (both SR 83) — and carries 10-3 which, while the joint-top weight, is justified by that ability advantage. The market is emphatic: a 15% inward move to 13/8 reflects genuine confidence from connections, and Michael Appleby (13% strike rate, 1,724 runners) is a reliable hand at Southwell. Course form (W1P1) adds further confidence, and the form string 000521 shows a horse that has found its way back to a winning run last time, staying at the same class (ClassMv:=) on the same mark — the classic 'do it again' scenario. The moderate DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ are the only caveats but nothing here beats the SR+market+course combination. Each-way alternative: Not That Guy. Main danger: Not That Guy — Not That Guy (SR 83, 3/1) carries only 9-2 — a full 15lb less than Nostrum — and last-time-out won (Form:52-1) with Cieren Fallon (18% career strike rate) aboard for Hugo Palmer (13%, 1,573 runners), though the 24% drift is a concern that prevents it being the primary pick.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Only 5 days since last run — rapid back-up on AW can blunt a horse that won off a flat-out effort last time, and Nostrum's form string suggests inconsistency (three 0s before finding form).
  • Top weight of 10-3 in a 12-runner AW handicap at Southwell is a concrete burden; Not That Guy gets in 15lb lighter on the same SR rating of 83 and is backed at 3/1 despite drifting — a fresh 3yo with…
  • DistFit:~ and GoingFit:~ both flagged by the primary analyst — at Southwell's unique Fibresand surface, going and trip suitability are especially consequential, and Nostrum has not proven an optimal…
  • The form string 000521 shows the win last time came after a string of poor efforts, raising the question of whether this is a horse that needs time between runs to bounce, not a 5-day turnaround.
