Southwell Placepot tips: Paul Kealy's perm for the £50,000 guaranteed pool

If you're having a pop at the Tote's £50k guaranteed pool at Southwell you have a really tricky 11-runner sprint (5.00) to start the perm.

Court Drive, however, is 3lb well in under her penalty, has run well off similar marks before and might still be improving, so is first on the list, with Em Jay Kay and Wee Fat Mac added with less confidence.

The next (5.30) ought to be more straightforward, as even Marchogion's latest last of nine in a Class 2 handicap is an absolute mile better than any of the others to have run have done.

You could make a case for all in the third leg (6.00) but my two are Pleasant Man, ridden by an in-form 7lb claimer, and Educator, who may well appreciate going back on the Flat after not really enjoying hurdling.

The fourth (6.30) ought to be a straight match between Champagne Prince and Eydon, who were first and second at Kempton last month.

As the highest-rated pair, Rubellite and Bay Of Naples are the ones to beat in the next (7.00), with the former in decent form and the latter likely to be happier in classified company.

There's another classfied heat (7.30) as the final leg and the veteran The Resdev Way will surely place if repeating the form of his latest handicap third, while Dee's Dream went close at this level last time.
