Cracking The Southwell AW Code ~ Mon July 28 2025

Southwell AW Code Breaker

It's the first race day of the week and I'm off to Southwell to try and crack the All Weather code, pretty much courtesy of Hector Crouch. He rides in 5 handicaps and a couple 2yo maidens. The handicaps will be my focus.


JockeysHector Crouch is having a decent season, he's the obvious jockey to watch out for. Rob Havlin has 4 rides in handicaps today, I will back him if the form warrants it.


Trainers ❖ Trainer focus is not of much use today regarding pointers.


Draw Bias ❖ The draw bias at Southwell is non existent. Back who you like wherever they're drawn. If backing any front runners, pay close attention to whether they'll actually get home up the slightly uphill 1.5f finish.


Bet Selection Considerations

  • Anything ridden by Hector Crouch
  • Watch out for Rab Havlin
  • Watch out for strong yard like James Owen in the 2 miler at 8:30 with Destinado
  • Solid Southwell C&D form may be especially important this evening
  • I will be discounting inexperienced horses in maidens and stakes races ~ handicaps only

Southwell Betting Analysis

6:52 Southwell ❖ Crouch rides the current 7/2 fav Tiempo Alegre who I am not enthralled by formwise, so I'll take him on with Havlin's Moonlit Stage at 12/1.

Conclusion: Moonlit Stage has form 3 races back that was plenty strong enough to take a real hand in this race. His last couple of races were over way too far for him by the looks of it. The drop back down to a mile, and the return of Havlin in the saddle will, I think, prove to be significant.

6:52 South ~ Win Bet: 12/1 Moonlit Stage (Unp 9/1)


7:25 Southwell ❖ Hector Crouch's Lessay has a decent chance dropped back down to 7f. The 10/1 on offer looks about 5 points too big to me. I make him about the 5/1 co fav with a couple of others who have every chance on the book. Crouch will be looking to nick this one with a well time late run.

Conclusion: Lessay is definitely worth a dabble at the double figure price on offer this morning. He has plenty in his favour to make him a reasonable bet.

7:25 South ~ Win Bet: 10/1 Lessay (Unp 12/1)


8:30 Southwell ❖ Can't Have Crouch's 5/1jf Dalton Park. I think it's a toss up between the other 5/1jf Destinado and Havlin's Sydney Seabreeze at 12/1.

Conclusion: Sydney Seabreeze needs a smooth ride like Havlin will surely be aiming for. The addition of a visor may prove significant. Hasn't been quite getting home, even when going well. I am forseeing a slight improvement. At the price, worth a small interest.

8:30 South ~ Win Bet: 12/1 Sydney Seabreeze (Unp 10/1)
