Nottingham Race 6 - Weatherbys Racing Bank Hcp
Tackling handicaps is bringing out the best in VENETIAN LION (5) and he can advance after a recent second. Only beaten 0.5L over 1600m at Southwell a week ago and switch back to the turf should suit. Represents top connections and could take advantage of a low handicap mark. THEME PARK (1) brings good form. Scored at Doncaster before a 3.75L second here over course and distance in a Class Five handicap four days ago. Expect another big performance. STRAIGHT A (2) has been running to a decent level in similar races. Should be in the mix again. SYMPHONY OF JOY (3) can build on a 1.5L third in a 1900m Wolverhampton Class Five handicap last time.
