Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls at Southwell (Flat) — Record, Stats & Analysis

Given Kim Bailey and Mat Nicholls's strong grounding in National Hunt, their flat entries at Southwell are rare and tend to be for very specific reasons rather than a concerted effort to target the flat programme. A horse might appear here if it needs a run for fitness, is being assessed for future jumping potential, or if the yard feels the unique Fibresand surface might suit a particular individual before embarking on a hurdling campaign. They are not known for acquiring specific flat horses to run at Southwell.

When a runner from this yard does appear on the Southwell flat card, it’s worth noting that it is often an isolated event. There’s no discernible pattern in terms of race type or time of year they strike here, simply because the occurrences are too infrequent to establish trends. Any success would likely be considered a bonus rather than a primary objective, and their horses often go off at long odds reflecting the yard's focus and the nature of the entry.
