Hospitality At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap

Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good.

0-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again.

Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade.

Unraced on ground slower than good; off the mark for this yard when winning over C&D in April and he ran another solid race when third of ten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) next time; however, he was reported to have ran flat at Newmarket 19 days ago and needs to bounce back; hood removed.

0-5 in Ireland for Dermot Weld but he caught the eye on his stable debut over C&D 46 days ago, staying on for third behind Caph Star having been denied a clear run; that was his first start since October and this unexposed gelding is on the shortlist.
