Verdict
SILLY GILLY has been running with credit all summer and deserved his success at Carlisle last week. A 4lb rise in the weights won't be a problem as his rider can claim 7lb and a follow-up looks on the cards. High Five Society won a couple of claimers and couldn't cope with the return to handicapping at Nottingham but Osgood made a bold bid to add to his winning tally at Windsor on Saturday and isn't without a chance despite a big weight. Fazza has won three times this year including over the C&D and looks the main threat.
