Ashforth's Angles: Dictionary needed at Wetherby

Cape Vale wins the Handicap Stakes at Southwell 04.12.2010

Southwell: plays host to numerous familiar faces on Tuesday

Tuesday racing: Leicester, Southwell and Wetherby

THIS is a good time to go to Southwell because its famous workhouse, now owned by the National Trust, doesn’t open until February 13 so at least you won’t end up there after racing.

On the whole, Southwell compares unfavourably with Wetherby but the spelling’s better. Not only are the horses at Wetherby misspelt – Sory and Simmply Sam (1.45) stand out – but so are the jockeys. It’s about time Adam Nicol and Craig Nichol reached an agreement about their surnames. I suggest Nicol, to save letters.

It’s quite an interesting card at Southwell. Will Peace Seeker manage to get beaten in the seller (3.45) even though he’s got at least 16lb in hand of all his rivals on Racing Post Ratings? Quite likely. Will Sir Geoffrey (4.20), now a ten-year-old, finally win a race over 6f, having won 15 times over 5f? Probably not.

There’s General Tufto (2.05), Southwell’s standing dish, ready and possibly willing to win there for the 15th time on his 175th racecourse appearance but more likely to hang around at the back before scuttling forward when it’s too late.

The Lock Master has earned his crust

Then there’s The Lock Master, a mere nine year-old, to whom we should pay homage on his 109th appearance (2.40). Having won once for trainer Michael Halford in Ireland, he moved to Mick Appleby, for whom he has won 14 races, seven of them at Southwell, the highlight a 0-105 handicap worth over £12,000. He’s been a great horse to train – and own.

K G Kitchen, his owner, must have had a lot of fun but who is he? Is he the same Kitchen, also known as “The Kitch,” who part-owned Midnight Hawk, winner of the Grade 3 Sham Stakes at Santa Anita in 2014 when trained by Bob Baffert? Unlikely, because that Kitchen was a hockey coach in Chicago.

Is he related to Peter Kitchen, whose clever footwork (by Fourth Division standards) I used to admire when he played for Doncaster Rovers in the 1970s? Much later, Kitchen scored 280 goals in 228 appearances for the Corinthian Casual Veterans. I don’t suppose the goalkeepers moved very quickly. Is he Keith Gordon Kitchen or Kevin Grant Kitchen? Whoever K G Kitchen is, good luck.

Have you heard about my 100-1 winner?

The same goes for the executors of the late Renee Robeson, whose Pine Warbler (3.00 Leicester) will, I contend, improve enough to make a race of it with Hit The Highway, who beat him easily over this course and distance last month and is only a 7lb penalty worse off.

I’m biased because Pine Warbler’s dam is Cetti’s Warbler, a mud lover who (it’s best to keep retelling betting triumphs in case there’s someone who hasn’t already heard about it) I backed when she won at 100-1 at Towcester in 2003. It is, granted, a long time ago and I have mentioned it rather a lot but you don’t have to read it.

Do not miss Ashforth’s Angles every Monday to Thursday on racingpost.com and your mobile from 6pm
