Beacon Tarn has only ever won over 5f at Southwell and faces a stiff task with top weight. NEXT DOOR has won at Pontefract and Ripon and, though returning from a long break, has the scope to win more races this season starting here. Thorntoun Lady has only run four times and produced her best effort here in August while the maiden Emerald Sea would have a chance on her close second at Yarmouth. Heartsong has gone backwards since her last victory at Sandown in 2012 but has dropped in the weights accordingly.
