Southwell Race 3 - Grace & Dotty Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
BLUE MANTLE (3) Missed by a narrow margin last time at Newcastle and facing less formidable opponents. The wide stall shouldn't be a problem with plenty of early speed. Can measure up to this company. NIFFLER (10) Sir Mark Prescott trained 3yo debutant by Isfahan. Watch the betting. JIMMY'S ARMY (9) 3yo by Invincible Army racing as a debutant for trainer Grant Tuer. Watch for a sign in the market. BACK TO ME (2) Fresh today. Snagged a narrow win last run at Dundalk. Racing for a new trainer. Has plenty of early speed. Don't overlook.

At $17.00 tailed off when 8th last start at Kempton but matched against a less competitive field. Will be hitting the line strongly. Place hope.

Fresh after a break. Secured the win by a slim margin last run at Dundalk. Should jump out and bowl along. First appearance for a new trainer. Can't leave out of your calculations.

Right up there last time at Newcastle and will appreciate the drop in class. Has the speed to overcome the wide stall. Chance and can measure up.

Honest race when 2nd last run at Chelmsford and was on debut last time. Stepping down to a lower level. Has drawn the rails. Has some claims.

Started at $26.00 and disappointing run when 10th last start at Newcastle but was a debutant last start. Facing a weaker group of contenders. Hard to have.

Jumped at $201.00 and not up to scratch when 6th last start here but up against a less challenging field. Gets back and needs luck. Hard to recommend with any confidence.
