Verdict
FABRIC won a maiden over today’s trip at Nottingham last time. Hollie Doyle takes 7lb off her back for her handicap debut and Richard Hannon’s filly is preferred to Looting. The latter only found one to good on his handicap bow but drops back to 5f for the first time while Four Dragons steps up in class off a higher mark after winning at Wolverhampton. Big Lachie looks pretty exposed off his current mark and Kempton maiden winner Just Maybe could improve past him.
