Southwell Race 7 - Southwell Racecourse Novices' Limited Hcp Hurdle
BEORMA (2) brings the sharpest last-start form after winning a 3319m Class 5 at Worcester by 6L four days ago and looks a key chance if backing up. THIS SWAY (1) rates the main danger after a solid 2nd at Ffos Las over 4023m, beaten 1.25L, and earlier won here at Southwell over 3183m. KLERVIA (3) was 4th at Exeter over 4349m two starts back and can be competitive. INCA (6) wasn’t far away when 4th at Uttoxeter over 4690m and is a place hope.
