(Please be aware selections could become non-runners after article's first publication)

16:28 (Southwell) David’s Diva

David’s Diva is difficult to oppose in the curtain-raising Win £2,000,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Fillies’ Handicap.

Rod Millman’s filly has won her last three outings on artificial surfaces, striking at Southwell, Kempton and Wolverhampton respectively.

Naturally, she is climbing up the handicap and carries top-weight in her bid for the four-timer, but she is likely still ahead of the curve and can continue her winning streak.

17:00 (Southwell) Ingleby Archie

Ingleby Archie will not be winning out of turn if he can come good in the Boost Your Acca-Fenwa With BetUK Restricted Novice Stakes.

The three-year-old was placed in four of his five starts as a juvenile, twice going down by a neck and beaten only a length on another occasion.

He has been gelded over the winter and Adrian Nicholls appears to have found him a gilt-edged opportunity to get a number one next to his name on his return from almost five months off the track.

18:00 (Southwell) Torrent

The lightly-raced Torrent is backed to open his account at the fourth time of asking in the Best Racing Odds Guaranteed At BetMGM Handicap.

Like a couple of his key rivals in this one-mile-and-three-furlongs contest, Andrew Balding’s charge is stepping into the handicap arena for the first time – and all three are open to sizeable improvement.

Torrent finished sixth behind a rare Aidan O’Brien runner at Salisbury when beaten just under seven lengths by subsequent Group Three runner-up Cambridge on his racecourse debut in September, before placing third behind the now 84-rated Let’s Dream at Goodwood three weeks later.

The Camelot colt had to make do with minor honours again when switched to the all-weather at Wolverhampton earlier this month, but should strip fitter for that comeback run and with Oisin Murphy booked for the ride, everything points to a big effort off an opening mark of 75.

20:30 (Southwell) Jumira Bridge

Jumira Bridge scored by 2.75L tackling this handicap grade and trip at Wolverhampton and is a leading contender set to follow up based on that performance.

Toptime holds strong form with a course and distance handicap second preceding a 5f handicap success by a neck here a month ago and should be respected.

Similar comments can be applied to May Remain who posted a neck second at Newcastle before a handicap victory here attempting the journey.

Sassy Redhead maintains a consistent profile and might feature once more.
