Steve Mullen guides you through Monday's racing at Fakenham, Southwell and Wolverhampton
FAKENHAM
2.10
SWAFFHAM BULBECK went very close in this class over course and distance last time out.
He was nailed right on the line in clocking a clear personal best at a track that obviously suits.
Anything like that form again would be good enough to go one better.
Zanzi Win was a decent Flat handicapper in France and ran his best race so far over timber when fourth at Ludlow last time.
He’s had a breathing operation since then which could bring improvement.
2.40
FIFTY SHADES finished like a train when second at Catterick last time when asked to make up far too much ground in the closing stages.

He relishes every yard of this trip and has been left alone by the handicapper. He has a more experienced rider on board today who should have him closer to the pace.
Conas Taoi has a 7lb penalty for a convincing win at Carlisle last time out.
That still leaves him some way short of his highest mark and he looks a threat with this distance suiting well.
SAD LOSS Man named who died at Dundalk racecourse on Friday evening
3.10
UNO MAS is taking a step up in class after landing his fourth win in five runs at Warwick last time out. The effort was even more impressive as his saddle slipped.
An 8lb rise in the weights means he has more to find but is on the upgrade so has more to offer.
Canyon City shapes as though this trip will suit after finishing strongly when third at Kempton last time. He’s 11lb above his last win not but likes it here and Is still improving.
3.45
BISOUBISOU has been out of sorts but has dropped to 3lb higher than her last win, which came on his previous visit here in December.
Coming back to this venue could help her rekindle the spark in a weak contest.
Schap was entitled to need her comeback from from a long break here last time and should be fitter today.

4.15
PRIMAL FOCUS has been thrown in at the deep end for his first two chase starts and should find this a fair bit easier than his fifth at Ludlow last time.
He went well for a long way there and has been given a little help by the handicapper.
Heresmynumber is slightly better over fences than hurdles and showed some promise when fourth here last time.
4.50
RAISING THE BAR understandably tired in the closing stages of his first run for almost two years when fourth at Sandown last time out.
That was over 2m but this longer distance looks ideal and he should come on for that hurdles debut.
Niblawi looked a nice prospect before his break and it would be no surprise to see him go close despite a year on the sidelines.
