As the cold snap bites hard, Southwell is the only meeting to survive the weather in Ireland and Britain today.

Several horses have attracted support on the nine-race card which gets under way at 1pm.

In the opening class 6 handicap over an extended seven-furlongs, Invincible Melody's price has almost halved (15/2 - 4/1) in his bid for a breakthrough success. He finished a close fourth in a class 5 apprentice handicap at Chelmsford City a couple of days ago.

It has been a long time between drinks for Eldeyaar who goes in Division 2 of the Midnite A Next Generation Betting App Handicap at 2.30pm, however, he has been backed from 12/1 to 6/1.

Timely Affair's price has hardened from 9/4 to 11/10 for the concluding class 6 classified stakes over an extended mile. William Knight's four-year-old gelding finished runner-up when last seen over course and distance in December and competes off 1lb higher.
