Prolific winning veteran Eligible runs at Southwell on Friday as he bids to make it four wins in a row.

The admirable ten-year-old recorded course and distance wins at Southwell in December and Janaury and also won over a mile at Newcastle last month. He'll make his bid for the four-timer on the Friday evening card as he lines up for the SBK: No Casino Just Sports Handicap over seven furlongs at his favourite track. Eligible will be having his 21st race at Southwell where he was won seven times.

Joining Eligible on the trip to Nottinghamshire will be I Need Your Love who runs in the six furlong Friday Night Live With SBK Handicap. The four-year-old steps up a furlong after finishing runner up at Newcastle last month where he went down by a neck to Pal Joey.

I Need Your Love is a dual winner on turf but has yet to get his head in front on artificial surfaces. He's a horse who takes his racing well and he raced 12 times in 2025. On Friday he'll be having his third outing of the year as he faces a maximum field at Southwell.

Joanna Mason takes both rides at Southwell.

I Need Your Love bids for his first all weather win.
