Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Duran is our selection and the standout on our figures, rated 83 and a full 11 lb clear of Level Up and Campenaerts, who share 72 and are the two most likely to test him. That sort of margin gives him plenty of leeway on the heavy ground at Nottingham, and the sprint trip of 5f should suit a horse with such a rating advantage. Vince L'Amour, on 69, is the next danger, though he too must find a good deal of improvement to bridge the gap. Duran looks the right horse to side with.

Rowan Scott
Nigel Tinkler 1/12
Duran is our top-rated runner, and he comes into this fresh from a fourth last time out just 12 days ago, having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he looks to have the beating of this field on our figures, with a speed rating of 77 backing that up.

Campenaerts arrives in better shape, fourth last time out and second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip after a 26-day break. Yet to win in his last six, that lack of a success is the main worry, though our rating of 72 ranks him third of ten.

Level Up bounced back with a third last time out just nine days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 72 ranks him second of ten. The risk is consistency, as he finished a sixth two starts back and an eighth three starts back.

Vince L'Amour bounced back with a fourth last time out just nine days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 69 ranks him fourth of ten. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six, with a run of eighth, sixth and eighth finishes before that.

Fit after just 12 days, Dragon Spin was a sixth last time out but a third two starts back, and she has run over today's trip; against that, her only win in her last six came six starts back. Our rating of 66 ranks her fifth of ten, and she carries 128 lb from stall 4.

Edgewater Drive is hard to fancy, having finished a sixth last time out and been unplaced in the two runs before that, with his one win five starts back now a distant memory. He has run over today's trip and going and is only two days since his last outing, but our rating ranks him ninth of ten.

Paul Midgley 1/14
Run This Way is yet to win in her last six starts but has a second and two thirds in that spell, and she has run over today's trip and going. Only two days since a fifth last time out and a ranking of seventh of ten hold her back from being more than a midfield option.

Beaten into seventh last time out and only eight days ago, Rambuso Creek is hard to fancy on our figures, though he did win two starts back and five starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and has a trainer in form at 7/20 over the last 14 days.

Alnofoor has won twice in his last six, though both wins came five and six starts back, and he's since managed a fourth last time out after a pair of modest efforts. Back quickly after seven days, he has run over this trip and going, but our rating of 64 only ranks him sixth of ten.

Loco Lobo is winless in her last four, beaten into fifth last time out after a third two starts back, and our figures rank her last of ten. She has run over today's trip and going and is 28 days fresh, but 116 lb from draw 5 gives little to fancy.
