Southwell Race 3 - Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
CHASING TIME (5) Blitzed its rivals when winning by 3 1/2L last run at Wolverhampton and having second career run. Winning claims. BIRGHAM DUB (4) Racing fresh after a 40 week spell. Flew home to win last start at Haydock and was a debutant last start. Has very good closing speed. Inclined to respect any betting moves and presents good prospects.

First up and ran over the top of them when winning first up last preparation at Worcester. Likely to settle back in the field. Challenged by less formidable competitors. Won't find this easy.

First run back from a 54 week break. Came on strongly to finish 2nd last run at Newbury and fitter for debut run. Taking on a lower class of opponents. Can figure in the finish.

Nice run when 3rd last run at Huntingdon and having second career run. Change in trainer and competing at a lower level of competition. Coming back in distance. Place hope.

Back after spell of 40 weeks. Stormed home to win last start at Haydock and was on debut last time. Will be trying to topple them late. Holds a major chance.

Was very impressive when winning by 3 1/2L last run at Wolverhampton and having second race start. Major player who should go very close.

Started $8.50 and not in contention when 4th last time at Yarmouth but was on debut last time. Competing in a lower grade. Goes down in weight. Would need to step up.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Felt the pinch late when 3rd last start at Nottingham and racing over more ground. Shows good early pace. Drawn nicely. Needs a lot of luck to figure in the finish.
