On Tuesday all eyes will be on Cheltenham - but I've been giving the sand-pit at Southwell the once over - and hopefully have unearthed a little gem amongst the banded boys.
Ladies Knight could be a real springer in the opening race at 2.25 - Derek Shaw's 6-y-o takes a drop down to banded class for the first time - the handicapper has finally relented after some dismal efforts over distances which he clearly doesn't stay.
Over 5 furlongs at Southwell the middle has been the place to be - and Ladies Knight has picked up a welcome draw in 7.
No doubt we'll be taking a chance as to what mood he's in. Derek Shaw is quoted as saying "he has a temperament problem" - the price could more than compensate - he could easily be 20/1 +
On The Trail is another I like in the race - he comes here in good enough form to win, his price is much more likely to be accurate though and could be worth a saver.
I'll give more thoughts and more indepth analysis nearer the race.
