9/2
Yet to win on soft ground but showed that he handles it when beaten just ¾L at Catterick (5f) last time. Up 2lb for that, but the third has gone close since from a higher mark, so he looks like short-list material.

Twice a winner on good to soft ground, she is 5lb higher than the most recent of those at Lingfield in September. Outclassed last time, but back at this level she probably has frame claims.

Proved himself over this trip on soft ground when scoring at Sandown in July from a 6lb lower mark. Has run well in three of his four starts since without winning again, so a 2lb nudge up suggests that he will again find something to beat him.

9/2
Back to form last time out with a win at Catterick (6f, soft) by a resounding 6L. That makes him look attractive under a penalty for this follow-up bid. May prove good enough, though he has yet to show the same level of form over this trip.

Handles soft ground and won at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in July from a mark of 75. Handicapper has been in control since then, but he should again be very competitive from this 5lb higher mark.

Much as last autumn, he came good at Pontefract again last time (5f, soft), when producing a career-best performance. 5lb higher today and again has his ground, though previous runs from this high-a-mark do not read quite so well.

Without a win since 2015 and has had plenty of chances since, plus some assistance from the handicapper. Handles cut and is dropped another 1lb going into this, though recent efforts suggest that he might still come up short.

Yet to win over as short as this and it is also a concern that his best efforts have been on good or fast ground. Has certainly slipped to a very attractive-looking mark now (9lb lower than when beaten just ½L in May) but still has it to prove.

5/1
Sole win was here over 6f (soft) in May when 7lb lower, though he went close next time from just 1lb lower than today. His latest run at the track suggests that he has the speed for this and he looks capable of going very close.

In good form of late, winning two of his last three, the more recent being over C&D (good to soft) last month. Steps up in class here after a 6lb rise, so will need to improve to follow-up at this level.

14:50 Nottingham - 8 November 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Another tricky race to solve, with Memories Galore, Rosabelle and Bahamian Sunshine looking booked for good runs from the top end of the weights and Musharrif not ruled out. Henley looks to have decent claims after another good run at Pontefract and he can turn the tables on Van Gerwen here, though both may have to give best to FANTASY KEEPER, who goes on the ground, at the track and won't be stopping at the business end.
