In depth
Verdict
A wide-open handicap to start the day on what is a tricky Nottingham card. Adweb heads the weights and is likely to be a popular choice in the market as he continues to prove to be a model of consistency. The four-year-old should have every chance in conditions that will certainly suit although the form of his trainer has to be a concern. Dorchester also remains in solid form and is a consistent performer over this distance. He has been an expensive horse to follow in the past but looks as solid an each-way bet as anything else in this race. Midnight Parkes is open to more improvement than most of these in this race and has been running well enough in good races to make his present felt here, earning himself a tentative TEAMtalk vote. CD Flyer arguably has the best form at the weights, however all his best runs have come on far faster conditions than he will encounter here.
