Nottingham 4.55

Nottingham 4.55 12 Champagne Rules - each way @ 15/2 (see write up)

Champagne Rules was most impressive here last time and despite a penalty should run very well again;

it probably won with a bit in hand and although you always worry about moderate horses following up, there is no reason

to suspect anything but a bold run and the price is far higher than I had anticipated so BOG it. It is hard to leave out Stoneboat

Bill on these terms so if you want a win / place saver at around 9/2 I would strongly suggest that and a small reverse forecast.

GRAVY TRAIN

I toyed with 2 races so I will tip in one and just give you a "heads up" about the other, YPRES looks

good value here, down in to Class 6 from Class 5 off a nice mark and ideal conditions, usually very competitive in this

Grade and very solid off this kind of mark and some horses are better carrying weight in lower grade than lower weight

in higher grade. HADLEY really does deserve to win and at 5/1 a nice win place saver and small reverse f/cast.

I was really keen on a couple in the same race at Ffos Llas but the 6/2 favourite looks very solid but I would not put

anyone off a bit of loose change on MOABIT + NABHAN each way at 5/1 and 12/1 in the 4.45 race.
