Leon Trotsky has had a short break. This low-level 2m apprentice handicap around here looks like the right race for him and Chloe can claim the 5lb under the race conditions. He has been working well so hopefully has an each-way chance.

King's Courtier, a son of Bated Breath, is ready for the run. This looks a good starting point but he will improve for the experience.

Spanish Mane is in good form and rarely has the opportunity to run at Newmarket. The track and trip will suit so she will give our apprentice Chloe a good ride.

Rusheen Boy has been disappointing since his 2yo days but he is now on a career-low mark and is unexposed on turf. He has worked very well in blinkers so we hope he is better than this grade.

Stintino Sunset is working nicely and goes well fresh. She is a CD winner running in her correct grade so she ought to have a good each-way chance,

Diamond Ali has done plenty of work nd is ready for this first run. He is quite professional but will learn for the experience. Hoping for a nice run to set him up for the future.

One For Harvey is unexposed on turf. She has dropped into this grade now and switching back to 5f should suit as will the straight track. Fred Larson knows her so hopefully, she has a good each-way chance.

Mrs Meader is probably better on soft turf but with no rain forecast goes to Southwell for this amateurs' race. Her usual rider Ross Birkett is unable to get away from his "proper" job but we've booked a good substitute in Fletcher Yarham. Hoping she will run a good race.

Show Biz Kid has improved for the fitting of blinkers, winning well last run. He seems in good form at home and as long as he handles the track, he should go close again.
