Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Ashnak gets the nod at Nottingham on the strength of a progressive profile, and he is only two pounds behind the top-rated Maxident on our figures, so there is little to separate them. A progressive profile marks him as a horse still improving, and he can close the gap on Maxident if that trend continues. Maxident is the chief danger as the highest-rated runner, while Rock N Roll Pinkie, a clear seven pounds behind our pick, and Just An Hour also have to be respected in a competitive thirteen-runner field. This is far from a confident call, but Ashnak is the selection.

Kevin Philippart de Foy 2/17
Maxident arrives in cracking nick, a second last time out, a winner two starts back, and a second three starts back, with just nine days since his last run and experience of today's trip and going. The risk is 143 lb, a hefty burden off an official mark of 86.

Mark Winn
David O'Meara 6/41
Ashnak arrives fresh from a third last time out, just 18 days ago, and has run over today's trip, while a second five starts back shows he can reach the frame. Winless in his last six, he's still our pick on overall profile, though 142 lb is a notable burden.

Lewis Edmunds
Roger Teal 0/10
Dancing Tiger won two starts back and has been in the frame before that, but he was only eighth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and on the going. Carrying 136 lb off 79, he looks a midfield type, with our rating of 83 only seventh of 13.

Klycot was seventh last time out, though he was third two starts back and a second five starts back, and he returns after 17 days carrying 136 lb off an official mark of 79. Our rating of 84 ranks him sixth of 13, but he remains winless in his last five.

Just An Hour is a consistent sort, third last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 84 ranks him fourth of 13. The main risk is 132 lb, a hefty burden for an official mark of 75.

Tyler Heard
Mark Usher 1/4
Seeking Charles won two starts back and was placed either side of that before a seventh last time out, so the form has some substance, and he has run on today's going. A 31-day break and 132 lb are mild question marks, though our rating of 84 ranks him fifth of 13.

Cieren Fallon
William Haggas 9/54
Gaspacho arrives fresh from a third last time out, 19 days ago, and was a winner three starts back, with another win four starts back, so the recent form reads well. She has run over today's trip, but 131 lb off an official mark of 80 and an eighth-ranked rating of 83 make her a midfield type.

Hector Crouch
Ivan Furtado 2/26
Rock N Roll Pinkie is a leading danger on our figures, ranked third of thirteen, and she's fit after 14 days off, has run over today's trip and tackles a 74 mark. Yet to win in her last six, with a sixth last time out, so a lack of a breakthrough is the concern.

Kieran Shoemark
Tom Ward 0/11
Fourth last time out, and a winner two starts back, Outback Legend has shown enough in recent form to sit mid-pack, but a 131-day absence raises fitness questions. Carrying 130 lb off an official mark of 79, he rates 82 by our figures, ninth of 13.

Rob Hornby
Alan King 0/13
Heroics arrives in good heart, second last time out and a winner two starts back, but he's ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures and a 41-day break plus 130 lb makes him hard to fancy; he has at least run over today's trip.

Clifford Lee

Torcello was beaten into eighth last time out and was also eighth three starts back, so he's hard to fancy, though he did win two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 129 lb after 37 days off, he is only 11th of 13 on our figures.

Marbuzet is hard to fancy after finishing eighth last time out and a sixth two starts back, with his only win coming four starts back. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 11 days, but our rating ranks him 13th of 13.
