Tuesday horse racing summary

Southwell, 1:30
Bobski is best in on official ratings but with doubts about both his attitude and effectiveness on the surface, preference is for BLUE CHARM, who has held his form well during a busy spell this winter.
Back to win - Blue Charm Result: non-runner

Sedgefield, 2:20
Solid recent form is thin on the ground so IT'S BERTIE looks good having run well over hurdles and fences at Catterick in December, probably bumping into a well-handicapped rival on the latest occasion. Barton Sun would be competitive if rediscovering his touch, while Cooldine Lad is another to bear in mind with blinkers applied for the first time.
Back to win - It's Bertie Result: 2nd

Southwell, 2:30
Nightjar is respected as he tries to defend his unbeaten record on Fibresand, whilst it's too soon to be writing off Internationaldebut, but MAJURO's recent efforts look very solid and he looks sure to go well again.
Back to win - Majuro Result: No bet, advised price not available

Southwell, 4:00
Not easy to pin down quite what Cause For Applause achieved when running away with a C&D seller on New Year's Day and preference is for PAINT SPLASH, who was very strong at the finish when taking what looked a stronger 7f seller last month and has more to offer over this trip. Shifting Gold is better than he showed here last time and it will be interesting to see if the market expects a more prominent finish with Jamie Spencer booked today.
Back to win - Paint Splash Result: non-runner
