Karl Burke is double handed here with A Little Bit Yarie and Blue Power, the last named gets our vote, with Golden Dixie and Cashel Mead also expected to run well. This son of Zeiten contested a much better event than this last time out, finishing an excellent sixth behind Magic Glade over course and distance. On official ratings he is very well in here and looks the one to beat. Golden Dixie has been in good form recently, winning two claimers at Wolverhampton. He is making his Southwell debut, but if he handles the ground he will be a major threat to all. A Little Bit Yarie wasn't far behind the selection last time so could be fighting for a place. A bigger threat though could be Cashel Mead who finished an excellent second behind Ever Cheerful over the six furlong trip here last time. So all in all a very tricky start to the card, but we will take a chance on Blue Power
