Nottingham 3.15

Nottingham 3.15 - I was initially drawn to old favourite HALLSTATT a Course specialist here, off a nice mark for a Trainer who likes winners at one of his local tracks. I will definitely make him a "mention" off what could be a decent pace; they take cheek-pieces back off, an aid he did not like, you do wonder if it was to get a bit fitter and to squeeze out a few more pounds from the handicapper?. However, following the big priced win with RACEMAKER on Tuesday - backed in from 16-20/1 to half that price, the canny Trainer runs CRAKENHALL LAD here and all of the logic about the Yard at getting one ready that paid off on Tuesday looks like a possible case of "deja vu" here. He was runner up in this race last year off a mark of 45, is one of those who can "pop up" at any time when seemingly out of form and I have no doubt that the yard can get a decent run out of this horse today and off that mark of 45 again, odds of 25/1 with SKYBET going odds to 4th are just too good to ignore. For a Tricast Perm I'd add Stynes and Spiritftomintoul
