Nottingham Race 4 - Events And Hospitality At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap
A typically wide open three-year-old handicap for the course. CAPICHERA (2) finished thereabouts in all three outings attempting maidens and novices coming home 1.5L third at Newmarket on reappearance. May strip fitter and likely to improve among open company. ROSA INGLESA (7) did just that when run out of it late at Wetherby (1400m). Novice winner last autumn on all-weather holds strong credentials. Nicely-bred NORTH FORCE (5) placed on all four starts including when 1L down on handicap debut last time (1500m). Could make the frame. CHAPTER (8) was gelded over winter and is another stepping up to 1700m. Enters calculations.

Resuming after eight months in the paddock. Finished off last preparation tenth of 26 at Newmarket (Rowley) October 4 over 1400m, 9 len behind Jel Pepper with 55kg at $81. First up last campaign sixth of 10 at Windsor September 1 over 1630m, soft track; 7 len behind Explosion with 58.5kg at $81. Certainly one to consider.

Second-up. First-up after four months 3rd of 8 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 15 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind So Regal with 58kg at $6.50. Previously second-up came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Chelmsford on December 4 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Symbol Of Majesty with 58kg at $3.80. Won't be far away with a repeat of that latest performance.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after nine months ran last of 7 at Southwell All Weather on April 7 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Gatehouse with 61.5kg at $13. Previously second-up 3rd in a small field at Salisbury on June 25 over 1400m, 2 len behind Goodwood Galaxy carrying 60.5kg at $5. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Most recently second last of 12 at Chester on May 7 over 1500m, 11 len behind Mcmurray carrying 52.5kg at $51. The race before that 5th of 12 at Doncaster on March 29 over 1400m, 3 len behind Langstone with 59kg at $101. Likely to find this out of reach.
