Nottingham - Thursday 2nd October

The flat season is quickly coming to an end. I'll be at Salisbury tomorrow for their finale but there's decent handicap action at Nottingham which I've honed in on.

Fantasy Master 6/1, 1pt win

Daryll Holland's likeable 7 year old Fantasy Master has won plenty of times at the track, including over course and distance and it's noticeable that Clifford Lee has been jocked up for a big occasion. It's fair to say he's been a bit out of sorts this year but he showed a real return to form when only beaten half a length at Doncaster last time out when finishing 4th in a field of 16. He's back down below his highest winning mark.

Best Adventure 5/1, 1pt win

Andrew Balding's 3 year old son of Frankel has already won twice this season and looked destined for better things in the Spring. His progress seemed to stall throughout the Summer but he's now just 2 pounds above the mark he defied at Sandown in June. The gelding ran well at Glorious Goodwood over this trip but has faltered the last twice when tried over 12 furlongs, he's back over 10 now and it's fair to say this is an easier handicap than some he has been attempting to win of late. Callum Hutchinson takes the ride and he looks to have a decent chance.
