Hopefully this will have made up for the disappointing runs from Star of Germany and Urban Tiger who unseated his rider.

Southwell hosts another meeting tomorrow, this time with flat racing on the all-weather surface, and racing returns to Nottingham with a seven race flat card on the turf.

The feature race at Southwell is the 4.20pm Toteexacta Handicap which sees a field of 14 runners go to post for a class three, five furlong sprint race.

There are four course and distance winners lining up for this race, each horse in the field is a previous winner and it looks quite a difficult race to solve.

The top weighted horse, Green Park, was a winner two starts ago and his last appearance came in the Silver Cup at Ayr 11 days ago, on ground that I suspect would have been too soft for him.

Further down the weights is Pawan, twice a course winner under his trainer/jockey and does seem to go well here, however on this occasion I think that the five furlong trip may just be too sharp for him.

Six of his seven career wins have come over longer distances so it may pay to lay him (bet against) on Betdaq.

An interesting runner in this race is Canadian Danehill who has won over both this course and distance previously.

He has been campaigned at a high level and although his form has not been impressive over his last few starts, I think he may be able to reproduce some form tomorrow.

I would recommend backing him each way at 12/1 with Boylesports.

The likely favourite, Judge 'n Jury has been running consistently well, however with some serious contenders, I think his current price of 11/4 is too short.

The card at Nottingham hosts the feature race at 2.50pm with the Goosefair Handicap.

As opposed to the race at Southwell which is run over the minimum trip, this is a staying contest to be run over two miles. Mick Channon's runner, Kiribati King, is chasing his fourth consecutive win and he has beaten a number of the field in previous starts.

If he returns in the form he has shown recently, I would expect this Kalanisi gelding to follow up, although it is likely he will be a fairly short price. Mark Johnston's runner, Keenes Day, has done most of his racing over a trip half as long as this, however he has recently been stepped up.

His trainer is no fool and his charges tend to be dour stayers so I would suggest backing him each way with Boylesports.

For those who are interested in spread betting, it may be an opportunity to buy winning distances with Sporting Index, as only three times in the last decade has the winner of this race crossed the line less than a length in front of the runner up.

Racing at the weekend comes from Newmarket with one of the feature races being the Totesport.com Cambridgeshire, a Heritage Handicap run over one mile one furlong.

With nearly 30 runners, this is nearly an impossible race to solve, however a horse I have liked all year is Little White Lie from the John Jenkins yard.

He has been running consistently well, is a course winner, has won over the same distance and deserves to take his chance if he lines up.

This may be another good opportunity for spread bettors to buy winning distances with Sporting Index.
