13:50 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f - 14 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	10 1st (10) (16/1 -33%) Granny Budgie	16 16/1(-33%)	(10) Granny Budgie 16/1, £18,000 Massaat filly. Dam, 9.5f winner, half-sister to useful winning sprinter Caledonia Lady. Newcomer to note in the betting. £18,000 yearling; yard also runs Vice Captain and market should be informative.
2	8 2nd (8) (14/1 -65%) Vice Captain	14 14/1(-65%)	(8) Vice Captain 14/1, Twice-raced gelding. Stepped up on debut when fourth of 9 in maiden (15/2) at Chelmsford (6f) 21 days ago. More needed here in all probability. Promising fourth at Chelmsford but he needs more progress back on turf.
3	16 3rd (16) (8.5/1 -21%) Via Electriano	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(16) Via Electriano 8.5/1, Twice-raced filly. Close second on AW debut but not in anything like the same fourth when only fourth of 6 on turf at Brighton since. Went very close at Kempton on debut and had an excuse at Brighton latest; key player.
4	7 4th (7) (8/1 +0%) The Good Biscuit	8 8/1(+0%)	(7) The Good Biscuit 8/1, 11/1, seventh of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Likely to improve. Faded into a well-held seventh at Carlislie (6f) ten days ago with an RPR of 47.
5th	6 5th (6) (14/1 +30%) Pinjarra	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Pinjarra 14/1, €7,000 Estidhkaar colt. Brother to winner up to 7f Sadiqaa, closely related to 10.6f winner Ceniza and half-brother to 3 winners, including useful 2-y-o 6f winner Roossey. Yard has good strike-rate with 2yos this term and he needs watching in market.
6th	2 6th (2) (9/1 -29%) Coin Power	9 9/1(-29%)	(2) Coin Power 9/1, 18/1, sixth of 13 in maiden at Carlisle (6f, soft) on debut 10 days ago, not knocked about. Likely to improve. Never involved at Carlisle and he needs plenty of progress on his second start.
7th	12 7th (12) (3.33/1 +33%) Lincoln Royal	3.33 3.33/1(+33%)	(12) Lincoln Royal 3.33/1, Promising individual. Third of 5 in novice at Hamilton (6f, good to firm, 33/1) on debut 21 days ago, keeping on as she got hang of things. Should progress. Made promising start at Hamilton and she's an interesting contender.
8th	9 8th (9) (150/1 -50%) Elegant Elloise	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Elegant Elloise 150/1, Twice-raced filly. Last of 12 in novice (150/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 10 days ago. Has struggled in two 6f runs on Polytrack this month with a best RPR of only 21.
9th	1 9th (1) (50/1 +24%) Chris's Mate	50 50/1(+24%)	(1) Chris's Mate 50/1, 25/1, tenth of 13 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. Needs to have come on a lot. 25-1 and finished a remote tenth at Leicester (7f, good to firm) on recent debut.

Closely related to useful 1m-1¼m winner Shargiah and half-sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 9f Ransom Note. Dam unraced. Has a striking pedigree and she needs checking in market on debut.
11th	3 11th (3) (9/1 +55%) Mc Loven	9 9/1(+55%)	(3) Mc Loven 9/1, Harry Angel colt. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to very smart 1m/8.3f winner Blair House. One to note in the betting on debut. Some appeal on pedigree but yard has not really got going with 2yos so far this season.
12th	4 12th (4) (12/1 +25%) Midnight Force	12 12/1(+25%)	(4) Midnight Force 12/1, 15,000 gns 2-y-o. Land Force half-brother to useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Fly On The Night and 1¼m winner Harbour Dance. Betting should help guide to expectations. Well-related colt and market should guide on debut.

This son of Kodiac has an eyecatching jockey booking. The betting should reveal more. Yard 2-6 with 2yos this season and needs a close look with Oisin Murphy booked on debut.
14th	15 14th (15) (12/1 -20%) Santa Rosalia	12 12/1(-20%)	(15) Santa Rosalia 12/1, 7,000 gns Cappella Sansevero filly. Dam unraced half-sister to 7f/1m winner Diamondonthehill. Likely type with Tom Marquand up. Yard has had a 2yo winner recently and she's one to keep an eye on.

LTO Selection:

13:50 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Of the newcomers, markets checks are required for Midnight Force, Pinjarra and Mc Loven as the standard set by those with experience is not too daunting. The best piece of form on offer is the debut effort of Via Electriano, so if she can bounce back to that level then she will be a major player. Slight preference is for ROYAL EXPERT, who shaped with a fair degree of promise when beaten half a length at Chelmsford on debut and any improvement on that will make him an obvious contender.

There was promise from ROYAL EXPERT when a close third on her debut and the runner-up has boosted the form by winning since so she's the suggestion. Lincoln Royal and Coin Power also showed clear ability on their first visits to the racecourse and should be in the mix if making the anticipated improvement. Santa Rosalia and Never Simple are 2 of many newcomers who need keeping an eye on in the betting.

It might be worth giving another chance to VIA ELECTRIANO, who had an excuse at Brighton and sets the standard on her debut form.

14:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (1.1/1 +12%) Winter Crown	1.1 1.1/1(+12%)	(7) Winter Crown 1.1/1, Winner at Newcastle in February. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 11/2) 18 days ago, finishing to good effect. Return to 6f should suit. Major player. Didn't get much luck at Beverley last time and he looks interesting back up in trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (8/1 +50%) Roundhay Park	8 8/1(+50%)	(2) Roundhay Park 8/1, Latest win at Catterick in April. 50/1, below form eighth of 15 in handicap at York (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Bounce back needed. Has been disappointing since his Catterick win in April and he ideally wants rain.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/1 +68%) Shark Two One	9 9/1(+68%)	(8) Shark Two One 9/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2020. 7/2, creditable third over C&D (heavy) 48 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Fair efforts last twice but his losing run is up to 22 and he looks vulnerable again.
4	1 4th (1) (3.5/1 +65%) Ascot Adventure	3.5 3.5/1(+65%)	(1) Ascot Adventure 3.5/1, 9/2, below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, soft) 9 days ago. First-time cheekpieces need to have a positive effect now dropping back to 6f. On dangerous mark but he's not easy to predict and comes with risks attached back in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (12/1 -20%) Ibiza Love	12 12/1(-20%)	(3) Ibiza Love 12/1, Fair winner at 2 for Hugo Palmer. Joined a good stable ahead of this first outing for 9 months. She could go well, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Still lightly raced but has something to prove on her return for new yard.
6th	4 6th (4) (6.5/1 +64%) Seven Brothers	6.5 6.5/1(+64%)	(4) Seven Brothers 6.5/1, No impact in 3 outings this season. Given a chance by the handicapper as a result but can only watch. Out of sorts in all three runs this season and he needs to turn things around.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

SNUGGLE is improving with each run and looks to be on a very attractive mark at present, having won in novice company at Windsor when last seen in May. The main question mark with the selection will be the ground, as his better efforts have come with some cut. Winter Crown continues to shape like his turn is close and he will be dangerous if the gaps appear. Although Seven Brothers has been badly out of form of late, he has dropped to a very dangerous mark and any market support would need noting.

Perhaps best to focus on the 3-y-os. WINTER CROWN caught the eye in a competitive Sky Bet Sunday Series race at Beverley last time and can come good with the return to 6f in his favour. Snuggle went close in a handicap prior to getting off the mark in a novice last time and is feared most ahead of Ibiza Love, who reappears for new trainer Alice Haynes.

Snuggle is respected but WINTER CROWN (nap) didn't get much luck at Beverley and looks interesting back up in trip.

15:00 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (1.25/1 +38%) Long Ago	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(1) Long Ago 1.25/1, Different proposition on second start when winning 15-runner minor event at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago, suited by increase in trip. In the right hands to progress. Made all when beating 14 rivals at Chelmsford (1m2f) on return; respected under penalty.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 -189%) Elegancia	6.5 6.5/1(-189%)	(3) Elegancia 6.5/1, Fared as well as could be expected when 9¾ lengths fourth of 7 to Al Asifah in listed race (16/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 18 days ago, not ideally placed. Sets a good standard back in a novice. Respectable fourth in Listed race at Goodwood and sets a useful standard back in a novice.
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -7%) Mistressofillusion	8 8/1(-7%)	(4) Mistressofillusion 8/1, Still rough around the edges when 5¼ lengths third of 15 to Long Ago in minor event (40/1) at Chelmsford City (10f) 21 days ago. May well do better. Promising third behind Long Ago at Chelmsford three weeks ago; should be in the mix again.
4	5 4th (5) (3/1 +40%) Queen Emma	3 3/1(+40%)	(5) Queen Emma 3/1, No chance with a pretty useful one but beat the rest comfortably in 10-runner minor event (4/1) at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 17 days ago. Likely there's more to come. Clear second behind a smart prospect at Windsor last time and she's open to more progress.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 +15%) Sabriel	28 28/1(+15%)	(7) Sabriel 28/1, Second foal, dam, unraced, out of unraced sister to Yesterday (Irish 1000 Guineas winner), Quarter Moon (Moyglare Stud Stakes winner) and All My Loving, all at least smart and also placed in Oaks. Well-bred filly who should have a future but this looks a tough starting point.
6th	8 6th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) So Farhh So Good	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(8) So Farhh So Good 6.5/1, Merely matched debut form when fourth of 5 in maiden at Ascot (10f, soft, 15/8) 48 days ago. Fair fourth in both her runs (1m/1m2f) but she needs to find significant improvement.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -11%) Rouen	20 20/1(-11%)	(6) Rouen 20/1, Showed more than on debut when fifth of 8 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, good, 33/1) 55 days ago. Likely one to flourish in handicaps. Still early days but has a lot to find here; yard also runs Long Ago.

LTO Selection:

15:00 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The obvious starting point is Elegancia, who shaped with a fair degree of promise in a Listed race at Goodwood last time and drops back to novice company here. A reproduction of any of her starts to date will put her right in the mix. However, preference is for LONG AGO, who showed a really good attitude to win over 1m2f on her second start at Chelmsford and may well be up to defying the penalty, especially if ridden with positive tactics around here. Mistressofillusion and Queen Emma are likely improvers too.

LONG AGO left her debut run well behind when landing a 15-runner AW novice 3 weeks ago and she couldn't be in better hands to progress. Defying a penalty against the likes of Elegancia, Mistressofillusion and Queen Emma will be no formality but she may well be up to the job.

The vote goes to ELEGANCIA, who ran respectably in a Listed race at Goodwood last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (1.38/1 +54%) Terwada	1.38 1.38/1(+54%)	(5) Terwada 1.38/1, Suited by longer trip when fourth of 8 in novice event at Thirsk (8f, good, 5/1) 24 days ago, left poorly placed. Should be plenty more to come. Has reached the frame in both his runs this season and he's in the mix.
2	8 2nd (8) (6/1 +0%) Astral Spirit	6 6/1(+0%)	(8) Astral Spirit 6/1, Promising debut at Yarmouth but faded out of things when fifth of 9 in maiden at Beverley (8.4f, good, 17/2) 44 days ago. Hood on first time and she retains potential. Placed at Yarmouth on debut in April but she failed to build on that at Beverley; hood on.
3	1 3rd (1) (7/1 +30%) Atlantic Dream	7 7/1(+30%)	(1) Atlantic Dream 7/1, £55,000 yearling, Starspangledbanner colt. Dam maiden (stayed 1m) out of useful 1m winner Raasekha. Has a useful pedigree and he needs watching in market on debut.
4	7 4th (7) (4.5/1 -13%) From Beyond	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(7) From Beyond 4.5/1, Tongue strap on for first time after a breathing op and made a sound return to action when second of 8 in maiden at Beverley (7.4f, good to firm, 11/4) 19 days ago. One to consider. Placed in the last two of her three runs and she's respected for in-form yard.
5th	4 5th (4) (3.5/1 -75%) Rogue Fox	3.5 3.5/1(-75%)	(4) Rogue Fox 3.5/1, Fourth of 11 in maiden (5/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut. Off 8 months/gelded and blinkers fitted. Can improve and worth considering. Promising effort in sole 2yo run and looks interesting up in trip on return; been gelded.
6th	2 6th (2) (22/1 -57%) Elusive Empire	22 22/1(-57%)	(2) Elusive Empire 22/1, Eighth of 10 in maiden at Newcastle (10.2f, 12/1) on debut 51 days ago. Gelded and open to improvement. Out the back when 12-1 at Newcastle (1m2f) on debut last month and he's been gelded since.
7th	3 7th (3) (200/1 -203%) Global Volition	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Global Volition 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 200/1, tenth of 13 in novice event at Wolverhampton (6.1f), very slowly away. Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Chris Dwyer. Struggled in both 2yo runs (6f) and has stacks to find upped in trip on his return.

LTO Selection:

15:35 Nottingham Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

From Beyond has the ability to win a race of this nature but maybe vulnerable to a couple of improvers. Rogue Fox shaped with considerable promise on his sole start as a two-year-old and would be a big player if fully wound up in the first-time blinkers. However, preference is for TERWADA, who caught the eye when coming from further back than ideal at Thirsk last time and the booking of Oisin Murphy looks significant, so he is taken to make it third-time lucky.

TERWADA finished with running left having been denied a clear run at Thirsk 3 weeks ago and on that evidence, he has a bigger performance in him. Rogue Fox is fitted with blinkers on just his second start but he needs considering, along with From Beyond.

Several of these are closely matched on the figures but it might be worth siding with TERWADA. From Beyond is feared most.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3/1 +40%) Roman Dynasty	3 3/1(+40%)	(1) Roman Dynasty 3/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Twenty seven runs since last win in 2020. Good second of 7 in handicap at Haydock (8f, good to firm, 8/1) 14 days ago. Can make presence felt for all he clearly needs everything to fall right. Winless since debut but down weights; 2nd to unexposed one over 1m latest; thereabouts.
2	3 2nd (3) (12/1 +40%) Saisons D'or	12 12/1(+40%)	(3) Saisons D'or 12/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Southwell in March. 11/1, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Looks well worth another crack at this trip. C&D winner on sole course start; six wins since at about 7f; mixed since AW win in March.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/1 +8%) Langton Wold	11 11/1(+8%)	(6) Langton Wold 11/1, Creditable sixth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good, 20/1) 24 days ago. Has work to do from current mark. Promising return upped to 1m this month; could build on that or go into reverse.
4	5 4th (5) (9/1 +0%) Hotspur Harry	9 9/1(+0%)	(5) Hotspur Harry 9/1, Course winner. Last of 9 in handicap at Windsor (10f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on in a more suitable race. Mostly races at 1m2f; minor turf efforts of late but running well at 1m on AW previously.
5th	8 5th (8) (6.5/1 +19%) Kalahari Prince	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(8) Kalahari Prince 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Clearly capable from this mark but doesn't look totally straightforward. Not yet looked on top of the handicapping game in 2023; needs more for win purposes.
6th	2 6th (2) (3.5/1 -40%) Nine Elms	3.5 3.5/1(-40%)	(2) Nine Elms 3.5/1, Four-time course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in April. First run since leaving Roy Bowring when third of 5 in handicap (6/5) at this course (10.2f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Way he shaped that day suggests return to 1m will suit. Won 4 of his last 6 course starts; solid 3rd for new yard latest; big chance again.
7th	10 7th (10) (6.5/1 +35%) Obee Jo	6.5 6.5/1(+35%)	(10) Obee Jo 6.5/1, Latest win at Catterick in May. 5/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 24 days ago, nearest finish. Six wins at 6f-7f; promising first 1m attempt latest; stamina still not completely proved.

9th	7 9th (7) (33/1 -83%) Esticky End	33 33/1(-83%)	(7) Esticky End 33/1, Unreliable type. 14/1, last of 6 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm). Off 11 months. Won at 7f and 1m last spring; form took serious turn for the worse after; off since July.
10th	4 10th (4) (11/1 +8%) Big Narstie	11 11/1(+8%)	(4) Big Narstie 11/1, Unreliable type. Latest win at Southwell in February. 7/2, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 82 days ago. Tongue strap back on. Mixed things up trip-wise on AW of late, winning over 7f in February; lesser runs since.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

The obvious starting point is Nine Elms, who absolutely loves it around here and is only 4lb higher than when winning well over this C&D in April. However, he may have to play second fiddle to Mick Appleby's BIG NARSTIE, who was running consistently well on the all-weather when the yards horses weren't firing in the spring and is on an attractive mark racing now back on turf for the first time since joining his new connections. Hotspur Harry could go well at a bigger price dropping back in trip.

This C&D brings out the best in NINE ELMS and he can make his second start a winning one for Kevin Frost. Roman Dynasty is hard to win with but this represents a drop in class so he's feared, along with Kalahari Prince.

Makalu should have a good run in him but course specialist NINE ELMS has plenty going for him back at 1m.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (4/1 +33%) Hey Mr	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Hey Mr 4/1, C&D winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. Seventh of 8 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good, 6/1) 44 days ago. Falling in the weights but need to see more. Sole win was in 2020 and he's been quiet in three runs for new yard this season; opposable.
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +0%) Ernest Rutherford	4 4/1(+0%)	(1) Ernest Rutherford 4/1, Has struggled in 4 handicap starts for new yard this year but he's well treated on his best Irish form and is worth a betting check now dropping into a 0-65 for the first time. Mark is tumbling and now drops into a Class 6 event but he needs a major upturn in form.
3	7 3rd (7) (9/1 -29%) Enchanted Night	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Enchanted Night 9/1, Unreliable sort. Remains a maiden after 30 Flat runs. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 12/1) 10 days ago, never nearer. Some creditable efforts this term but she's now 0-30 and others are preferred.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 -13%) Van Gerwen	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(2) Van Gerwen 4.5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Only sixth at Beverley last time but went close at Beverley prior to that. Claims if back to that sort of form. Went very close at Ripon last month and has claims if he can recapture that form.
5th	8 5th (8) (28/1 -100%) Idiopathic	28 28/1(-100%)	(8) Idiopathic 28/1, 40/1, best effort third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5f) 35 days ago. Hood back on. Ran her best race so far when third in a Wolverhampton handicap last time; dangerous.
6th	4 6th (4) (3/1 +14%) Mehmo	3 3/1(+14%)	(4) Mehmo 3/1, Unreliable type but is a C&D winner.. Notched 2 AW wins at Southwell in January. Might have needed his latest run here after a 4-month break and he's interesting with Oisin Murphy in the saddle. C&D winner who wasn't beaten far here on his recent return; in the mix back in trip.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 +14%) Hot Scoop	6 6/1(+14%)	(6) Hot Scoop 6/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Third over C&D a couple of weeks ago and ran well enough to think he's still in form when fourth at Ripon last week. On workable mark and was placed over C&D on his penultimate run; not ruled out.
8th	5 8th (5) (20/1 -67%) Breath Catcher	20 20/1(-67%)	(5) Breath Catcher 20/1, Modest maiden at 2 and tough to argue she looks well handicapped ahead of this first outing for 9 months. Generally regressive eight-race maiden and has work to do back from 288 days off.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Breath Catcher should do better this season and is worth a market check on her return to action. There is a good chance this could be fought out by the previous C&D winners in Van Gerwen, Mehmo and HEY MR. Slight preference is for the latter, who has slowly been coming to the boil this season and is now lurking on a very handy mark. He has a good draw and as long as the gaps appear, he can pounce late to take the prize.

The booking of Oisin Murphy for MEHMO suggests he's likely to step up on his recent course comeback outing and he might prove the answer to this trappy low-grade sprint. Van Gerwen and Hot Scoop are others to consider, while the class-dropping Ernest Rutherford is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

The tentative vote goes to C&D winner MEHMO, who looks interesting back in trip on his second run after a break.

1	7 1st (7) (5.5/1 +27%) Rose Camira	5.5 5.5/1(+27%)	(7) Rose Camira 5.5/1, Modest maiden. 15/2, creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Looked a stayer when close 3rd over 1m3f on latest; of interest up in trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (5.5/1 +66%) Funky Town Pinkie	5.5 5.5/1(+66%)	(6) Funky Town Pinkie 5.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in December but not at his best in a couple of outings there at the beginning of 2022. Bounce back needed returned to turf after a break. AW wins at 2m and 1m6f in late 2022; below best when last seen; first turf handicap.
3	1 3rd (1) (3/1 -33%) Fred Bear	3 3/1(-33%)	(1) Fred Bear 3/1, Goes in search of a hat-trick after wins at Salisbury and Catterick. Only nudged 2 lb for his success at the latter track and a bold bid looks on the cards. Won 3 of his last 4 races at 1m6f/2m; hard fought latest but solid to go well again.
4	3 4th (3) (1.62/1 +81%) Shadowfax	1.62 1.62/1(+81%)	(3) Shadowfax 1.62/1, Fair maiden. Freshened up since finishing sixth of 8 in handicap (10/1) at Newcastle (2m) in January. has just his second outing on turf here. One to note in the betting. Stamina ran out over 2m+ in AW handicaps; first attempt at 1m6f offers hope back on turf.
5th	4 5th (4) (10/1 +0%) London Eye	10 10/1(+0%)	(4) London Eye 10/1, Winner on the Flat and over hurdles for Chris Dwyer. Off since a poor run on AW Flat at Kempton last September but is feasibly handicapped now setting out for a shred new stable. One to note in the betting. Below best over fences/on AW in the autumn but on a useful mark for new yard.
6th	2 6th (2) (7.5/1 -150%) Longuerue	7.5 7.5/1(-150%)	(2) Longuerue 7.5/1, French recruit who made a winning start over her new yard over 1¼m here last month. Her stamina for this significantly longer trip has to be taken on trust but it's possible this lightly-raced filly could have more to offer. Stayed 1m3f in France; kept on stoutly to win British debut (1m2f); new trip.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Longuerue did well to win over 1m2f here last month and having only been nudged up 1lb for that success, he looks sure to be involved with this longer trip likely to suit. However, he may struggle to contain FRED BEAR, who comes here chasing a hat-trick having got up right on the line over 2m at Catterick last time. This track should suit him better and he could be hard to beat with his rider taking off a very handy 5lb. Capricorn Prince bounced back to form at Chelmsford last time and shouldn't be underestimated.

In a finale where a few have questions to answer the most solid option is the hat-trick seeking FRED BEAR. Longeurue made a winning start for the Robert Eddery stable over 1¼m here last month and could pose a threat if seeing out the longer trip. Similar comments apply to Rose Camira, while London Eye would enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in his favour on this first outing for John Butler.

Fred Bear should go well again but ROSE CAMIRA looked a staying type at Yarmouth and is on a lowly mark these days.
