At 15:35 on January 4, 2026, horse racing enthusiasts can look forward to the Make The Move To Midnite Handicap at Southwell. This race is particularly intriguing as it features a diverse lineup of 12 contenders competing over a distance of 4 furlongs and 214 yards on an all-weather track.
Here’s where it gets exciting! Each horse brings its unique history and performance record, making predictions quite challenging. Let’s delve deeper into the profiles of these competitors:
Horse 1 (Cloth number 9) showed remarkable improvement by securing a victory in a recent 10-runner handicap race at Lingfield, winning by a narrow neck. Given its 3-pound rise in weight, it looks set to perform well again based on this recent form.
- Form: 885661-
Horse 2 (Cloth number 11) has previously won at this distance but struggled in its latest outing, finishing last in a Newcastle race. With odds of 11/1, this horse may not be the most appealing choice for bettors this time around.

Horse 3 (Cloth number 3) is another C&D winner with a prior victory here in October. However, it faced challenges in its last race at Newcastle, finishing last. This inconsistency may deter supporters.
- Form: 230130-
Horse 4 (Cloth number 7) is known for being unpredictable, with just one win out of 31 Flat runs. Despite a recent effort that landed it fifth in a field of 11 at Lingfield, it seems less convincing compared to other options.
- Form: R82725-
Horse 5 (Cloth number 6) has seen a reduction in its competitive weight and recently returned to form by leading at Newcastle. Given its previous capabilities, this runner holds strong potential for a solid finish.
- Form: 797001-
Horse 6 (Cloth number 12) has had a challenging career with three wins from 69 Flat races. After finishing last at Newcastle recently, it will need a significant turnaround to be competitive.
- Form: 48260-0
Horse 7 (Cloth number 4) has not claimed victory since 2024 and finished seventh in its last outing. However, the introduction of a visor might improve its performance.
- Form: 775757-
Horse 8 (Cloth number 1) is noteworthy as a previous winner at Southwell. Its recent fourth-place finish at Chelmsford City shows promise, particularly since it performed best among those who were held up during the race.
- Form: 14564-3
Horse 9 (Cloth number 8) also won in October but has struggled to maintain that form. Despite this, it remains competitively priced and could be worth considering.
- Form: 601064-
Horse 10 (Cloth number 10) has yet to win after 20 Flat races. It managed a commendable second in a minor event at this course but hasn’t proven to be persuasive enough lately.
- Form: 524522-
Horse 11 (Cloth number 5) achieved its most recent win at Newcastle in November but has since finished tenth in a follow-up race. It still possesses each-way potential for those looking for longer odds.
- Form: 504160-
Horse 12 (Cloth number 2) showed initial promise with a third-place finish in its debut but has not progressed since then, making it a bit of a wildcard.
- Form: 300550-
