Taken down early, sweating, in touch with leaders, headway and prominent towards far side 3f out, ridden when short of room against far rail 2f out, soon weakened (trainer could offer no explanation for the poor form shown) (op 11/8 tchd 5/4)
Took keen hold, prominent, ridden and outpaced under 2f out, weakened from 1f out (prior to this race, trainer's rep was asked to explain the reason why they were running here on going described as soft, heavy in places, having declared gelding a non-runner at Chester on 12 May 2023 on ground with same official description; they said that, in trainers' opinion, after walking track at Chester, ground had been well used and seeing as gelding was entered in first race of the day on a fresher track at Nottingham, they felt it was a more suitable surface) (op 17/2 tchd 11/1)
