In a race which epitomises the poor quality of racing across the card at Southwell the vote is given to FYODOR to bounce back from a poor outing with Yungaburra and Grimes Faith the others to considered. The positive f being a course and distance winner is in our selections favour who has also scored in much better contests than this. The latest was a win over distance at Gtreat Leighs four starts ago, from which the form is solid, and after more encouragement at this standard last time he looks well set to land this. Yungaburra has been consistent in the all-weather spectrum this term but has never really found the fibresand to his liking. If he can finally conquer the surface he'll be close. Grimes Faith has been running well in this grade for trainer Kevin Ryan and was third behind course specialist Came Back last time. He has an excellent record at this track but may just find the selection a little too good however the gelding will be a contender. Dubai To Barnsley is an unexposed sort who has produced some good efforts recently and could be a could each-way bet but the winner should be Fyodor.
