Tipping / Timeform / 07 April 2010 /

Heading into the Grand National meeting at Aintree it's an all-Flat affair on Wednesday and the Timeform Free Form Service have picked one out from each of the three afternoon meetings.

The feature race at Nottingham is the listed Further Flight Stakes, named after the popular grey who became the first horse ever to win the same pattern race (the Jockey Club Cup at Newmarket) five years in a row from 1991 to 1995. Further Flight's trainer was Barry Hills, who is represented by leading contender Tastahil, but for all that horse has conditions to suit, it's very hard to look past Opinion Poll (3.50), who looks the type who could become a force in pattern races this year for Michael Jarvis. The lightly-raced Opinion Poll goes well in the mud, and signed off his 3-y-o campaign with an impressive success in a competitive Ascot handicap.

Johannesgray (4.10) can get off the mark up at Catterick. He shaped really well from an unfavourable draw on his debut over course and distance last September, travelling strongly for a long way and not given a hard time once the winner Colepeper was beyond recall. Johannesgray has been gelded since then, and if handling these softer conditions is the most likely winner.

Parc des Princes (4.30) looked a reformed character last term, and having been gelded, he can win more races this season, starting out back at Lingfield, the scene of his last win. Parc des Princes stormed clear under David Probert here in July, eased down by his rider, and can overcome a mark of 72 if picking up where he left off.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Back to win:

Nottingham 3.50 Opinion Poll
Catterick 4.10 Johannesgray
Lingfield 4.30 Parc des Princes
