Nottingham Bags Race 6 - The Ben Acworth Gold Cup
CHURCHILL BOY (1) maps to get his chance from the red after two recent A2 wins over 500m and a last-start 2nd here, beaten 2.29L. BOBSLEIGH ACT (5) is the main danger, rising from an A3 win into A2 and then a close 2nd here over 500m, beaten 0.69L. SKYFALL ORNA (4) has the class to feature, with an OR3 win two starts back and a prior A2 2nd, though he did finish 6th last time. BULL RUN BIRD (3) brings solid consistency with A3 and A4 wins this month and recent A2 placings, and can figure late.
