Best Bets: Monday 17 May

Glenhead King (Trap 5) - 19.34 Nottingham

There is top-grade action over at Nottingham at 19.34 and GLENHEAD KING (Trap 5) is fancied to confirm the promise of his recent efforts in A1 company and come out on top. A strong runner over the 500-metre trip, his exploits on the clock stand up to close scrutiny in this field and with a better exit from the boxes, he’s fancied to get handy by the first bend and stamp his authority on the contest from halfway.

Dotty Dot (Trap 5) - 19:51 Nottingham 

DOTTY DOT (Trap 5, 19.51) doesn’t always make life easy for herself with moderate breaks but she arrives in fine fettle, regaining the winning thread in A5 company three starts back. Subsequent placed efforts have been solid in a higher grade and the September 18’ whelp can capitalise on the grader’s mercy and resume winning ways.

Coney Wonderland (Trap 3) - 21:26 Nottingham

The Arc 480 Trophy takes centre stage at 21.26 and the progressive CONEY WONDERLAND (Trap 3) is fancied to supplement last week’s facile success. Upwardly mobile in graded company at Sheffield, he took the step up in class in his stride over C&D last week, breaking smartly and clearing away for a seven and a quarter length success. That may not prove his limit moving forward and in this groove further success beckons.
