Samraan to relish Southwell test

Bo Samraan turned in a fine performance at Southwell last time - and can build on that in the Betway EBF Buccaneer Conditions Stakes tomorrow.

The ability to handle Fibresand can be a key factor at the Nottinghamshire venue, and Mark Johnston's charge showed it poses few problems for him when held in second behind Grazeon Roy this month.

Bo Samraan tried to make every yard over 12 furlongs that day, but just found the winner a touch too speedy late on.

He was conceding 10lb, so a length-and-a-quarter defeat does not read too badly at all, and conditions of Friday's event give him a handy pull with all but Sevenna Star.

Bo Samraan and that rival are evenly matched on the figures, but preference is for a runner who is proven to handle the surface.

Queen Of Kalahari is another with strong Southwell form, having posted three of her six career wins at the track.

Les Eyre took her to Newcastle for her most recent run - and while she was far from disgraced in third, she did not quite show her best on the different surface.

While she remains on a perch of 63, she still looks competitive in the Betway Heed Your Hunch Handicap - particularly back at her favoured course and distance.

Young Tiger failed in his hat-trick bid last time but is worth another chance in the Betway Handicap.

Dizzy G should appreciate switching back to six furlongs in the 32Red Handicap at Kempton.

She made a winning start on the all-weather on her penultimate outing - but upped to seven furlongs at Wolverhampton last time, she could finish only fifth of six runners.

Dizzy G was not beaten far that day. But since she dropped away in the closing stages, reverting to a sprint trip makes sense.

Sheriffmuir made a satisfactory return from a long lay-off and should strip fitter for the 100% Profit Boost At 32Redsport.com Maiden Stakes.
