Get the latest tips ahead of a busy day of racing from across the country.

Top tipster Steven Mullen guides you through the cards from Southwell, Warwick and Wolverhampton on Thursday, January 25.

SOUTHWELL

1.05
MOOJANED is taking a drop in class after finishing down the field at Kempton last time out. He’s a much stronger performer around here and won on his last visit last month. He likes this trip and has every chance of just 4lb higher in the weights.

1.35
SPEED FREAK has some useful form on the all-weather as she showed when second at Lingfield last time out, beaten a neck in a tight finish. That was over this 5f trip and is much stronger form that any of today’s rivals. If she can reproduce it on this slower surface, she will be hard to beat.

2.10
CROSSE FIRE is proven over this trip and track and has dropped nicely down the weights for good measure. He was a little unlucky not to score over 6f here last time before being blocked at a crucial stage. He has no problem dropping back to the minimum and a repeat of his last effort would see him go very close.

2.45
Stepping up to a mile has been the making of DREAM TEAM and he can defy a 7lb rise on this hat-trick bid. He showed his liking for Southwell last time when scooting in over course and distance. The fitting of cheekpieces has also helped and they are sported again today.

3.20
The price tag and connections of MOONDUST catch the eye more than her form and it’s a tip itself that John Gosden is persisting with her. She didn’t shine at Newcastle last time but had earlier shown real potential when third in a decent maiden at Leicester. Anything like that form should be good enough at this lowly level.

3.55
ZOROVAN could be ahead of the handicapper given he has very few miles on the clock. He was full value for his four-length win at Southwell last time so 6lb more on his back shouldn’t be an issue. Trainer Keith Dalgleish has a good record at this track too which is another plus.
