Verdict
The presence of Frankie Dettori at the track implies that Kaseh must be worth the trip to Colwick Park and we will nominate him in our opening contest. Godolphin two-year-old's are pretty rare on the ground these days but this son of Storm Cat should stay further than this in time as he is related to a number of seven to nine furlong winners in America. Named at Dinner was out of her depth against the very useful Punctilious last time out. The Meehan camp are in good form though so if there were any chinks in the armour of the Godolphin horse - she could prove to be the viable alternative. Jimmy Ryan went into many notebooks after an eyecatching performance at 66/1 in a Folkestone maiden. The colt is closely related to a number of two-year-old winners and it would be no surprise if further improvement has been gained since that first racecourse appearance. Ralph Beckett saddles two runners in the opener. Jailbird has the services of Ryan Moore while Hatch a Plan was very much dropped in at the deep end on his first start at Ascot. We will side with Frankie Dettori's decision to ride at Nottingham and nominate Kaseh to take the first contest of the day.
