Nottingham Race 4 - Beer Festival 12Th April Handicap (Div 1)
IT'S ONLY FUN (1) was a 5L winner at Musselburgh (1810m) on handicap debut a week ago. Looks potentially well treated under a penalty. Good chance of following up. BEAR ISLAND (4) indicated promise in all three starts last year. Gelded since. Likely to improve on handicap debut. LEVER UP (2) produced his best effort yet when third in a 1422m Musselburgh maiden during November. Further progress anticipated as he steps up in trip this season. ARCTURUS FLAME (3) is another handicap debutant with potential to improve this term. Wears first-time cheekpieces.

Second-up. First-up after six months came home strongly from last on the turn and scored a big 5 len win at Musselburgh April 2 over 1800m defeating Sovereign Class with 61kg at $4.30. Previously second-up in a small field at Hamilton Park on September 23 over 1200m, 3 len behind Thecla with 60.5kg at $8. Sure to go well again. Found winning form and can go on with it.

On debut second last of 11 at Leicester September 10 over 1400m, soft track; 22 len behind Starzintheireyes with 58kg at $67. Might struggle in this line-up.
