Awaythelad - 12:15 Southwell

Flags: Horse In Focus, Top Rated

Ben Pauling's Awaythelad caught the eye of the Timeform race reporters - picking up a ‘Horse In Focus’ flag with his promising start over fences - when a recent third in a strong-looking handicap chase at Lingfield, and that form has started to work out well (the sixth and eighth have run well in defeat since).

Despite that encouraging five lengths third to Hurlerontheditch on his chasing debut/reappearance last month, the BHA handicapper has dropped Awaythelad by 1 lb and, with improvement expected, this strong-staying front-runner should prove hard to pass in a race where the Timeform pace prediction is ‘weak’.

What are the Flags?

Timeform have eight premium ‘Flags’ which quickly and simply identify a horse of interest with the help of handy graphics and symbols. Learn more about Flags here.
