Nottingham 5.15

Nottingham 5.15 4 Fantasy Gladiator - 1 point each way @ 8/1

(Ladbrokes + Coral go odds to 4th place here so use them if you can).

A Class 6 race over a trip if just over a mile and whilst there are several unexposed

and in form types here, I kept coming back to FANTASY GLADIATOR. He may be 11 now, but he has

held his form well and like the Trainer/Jockey combination, has an excellent Course record. This is actually

a slight drop in Grade and quality of race for him and off this handicap mark he has his best chance in quite

a while. He can and has won over further, so will need a strong gallop, but with several moving up in trip;

and likely to run a bit too freely, he could have the race set up nicely for him, down the very long straight.
