Today at Southwell, Livy's Lad is set to impress in the 'Race 2 Join Southwell Golf Club Handicap Chase' at 13:22. This 5-year-old gelding boasts a strong recent and seasonal form, having won his last outing over course and distance a month ago. With James Davies riding and N J Gifford training, the team's performance distinctly shines through their track and distance triumphs. Livy's Lad's impressive turnout with a perfect 1.00 strike rate in the past 30 days under both course and distance categories makes him the horse to beat, especially with a short live price of 2.25, suggesting strong confidence from the market. Flash in the Park, holding a live price tag of 6.5 and partnered by jockey R T Dunne under Charles & Pogson's training, is another prime contender for the race. This 7-year-old gelding doesn't flaunt the most flattering strike rates recently; however, a history of strong performances at longer distances could hint at potential underdog value. The pair present an interesting watch, but their recent form isn't quite as stellar as our top tip. Chateau Du Lys, offers a long odds scenario at 21.0. The 6-year-old gelding coached by T R Gretton and partnered with Lee Edwards may not be a frontrunner based on recent forms or course statistics. But, races can be unpredictable and sometimes those long odds do pay off, making Chateau Du Lys a potential each-way or high-reward bet if you're feeling adventurous. All eyes are set on Livy's Lad as the potential winner in this exciting lineup at Southwell. With favourable stats, recent form, and advantageous course familiarity, it's hard not to back him as the top choice. So, toss your hat in the ring, have a punt on Livy's Lad, and as always, remember to bet responsibly!
