Azure Angel and Equality clash at Southwell

We have a busy day’s racing on Wednesday with all-weather action from Southwell, live on Sky Sports Racing...

4.02 Southwell - Azure Angel and Equality clash

An excellent Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap sees Azure Angel and Equality clash over five furlongs.

Azure Angel has a fine strike-rate on the all-weather, winning five of her 10 starts including when staying on strongly to score over this course and distance in September. She is back from a 164-day layoff with the blinkers retained and must have claims despite a career-high mark.

• Jasmin De Grugy grinds out dominant Grimthorpe victory
• Heltenham retains Greatwood crown at Newbury

Charlie Hills' Equality has dropped to a workable mark having failed to get his head in front in the last few seasons. He was not beaten far when fourth at Newcastle in January and may benefit from the dip in class.

Gaeli has plenty of useful form in Italy and enters calculations on debut for Marco Botti and Jack Gilligan, while last-time winner Spring Is Sprung is another for the shortlist.

4.32 Southwell - Well-bred That's Amore returns for Beckett

A fascinating Make The Move To Midnite Novice Stakes where That's Amore headlines a field of 11.

The Ralph Beckett-trained three-year-old has a lovely pedigree, being a sister to Group Three winner Persica, and she made a stunning start to her career when winning by six lengths at Newbury in October. Sent off just 9-4 when fourth behind Minnie Hauk in the Cheshire Oaks next time, she has not been seen since and rates a filly to watch with market clues eagerly anticipated.

Jupiter Ammon, rated 82 after eight starts without success, has had a gelding operation since finishing a solid fifth in a Class Two handicap at York and looks the most likely to capitalise if the favourite disappoints.

Grazeon Sunshine is a national hunt flat winner and should strip fitter for his run behind Constitution Hill here.

5.40 Southwell - Tarbat Ness seeks a four-timer

Prolific Tarbat Ness bids for more glory in this Midnite Aint Your Grandads Bookie Handicap at 5.40pm.

John Berry's charge has been in cracking form in the past couple of months and romped clear of his rivals at Newcastle 17 days ago. Given the way he settled matters, he ought to prove tough to beat under this seven-pound penalty with the extra couple of furlongs holding few fears.

Hatysa is a progressive stayer for the Andrew Balding team, winning three times since July. She ran a solid third after a break at Newcastle last month and rates a huge danger dropped into this 0-80.

Barenboim narrowly failed to make all when second at Lingfield on his last start and must be considered, while Art Zoosve hopes to bounce back from a lesser run last time.

Best of the rest

Happy Valley - Zac Purton, Andrea Atzeni, Dylan Browne McMonagle and Richard Kingscote all in action.

2.02 Southwell - Eagles Whistle looks for a four-timer.
