Today's Horse Racing Tips: A lot of love for this selection

Yesterday’s big-priced selections all disappointed, but a winning NAP (Convertible) ensured that I broke even on the day. It was one of four winners at Lingfield for Ryan Moore, and the horse looks to have a good chance of scoring again in the coming weeks.
There is just one bet for today’s racing at Southwell.
Southwell Tip
14:20 – 5f Betway Handicap (Class 4)
Mick Appleby is the leading trainer at Southwell over the past five years with his 94 winners in that period more than double the number recorded by his nearest pursuer Karl Burke. He saddles two in this race and looks to have a strong chance of adding to his tally of winners at the Nottinghamshire track.
Zapper Cass won in stronger company over the course and distance in December and should benefit from this return to five furlongs and the drop in class. However, slight preference is for his other runner, FANTASY KEEPER (NAP - 1 point win bet at 7/2), who will be ridden by Ben Curtis for the first time. Curtis also has a fine record at Southwell in recent years with a 21% strike rate and a £43 profit to a £1 level stake.
This seven-year-old son of Mayson built on a placed effort over six furlongs here to win over the minimum trip two starts back. He came under pressure from halfway but responded really well and kept on strongly to score by a nose. His proven stamina over further was a big advantage that day and will come into play again today with the Fibresand surface set to ride slow.
Ultimately, it was slightly disappointing that he wasn’t able to follow up back here 12 days ago, but he held every chance approaching the furlong marker before weakening out of contention. That race was won in good style by the 11/10 favourite Mulzim and today’s opposition doesn’t look as strong.
Alsvinder is worth a mention given that he is very well handicapped, was a close second here in January and has Luke Morris booked for the first time.
