Bobby Rose likely to wilt at Nottingham.
13:50 Nottingham - LAY - Bobby Rose (Forecast 3.25)
Today's race is the 13:50 Nottingham it's an apprentice handicap over 6 furlongs. Bobby Rose is forecast favourite trained by D K Ivory and ridden by James O'Reily.
Bobby Rose won a Class 6 handicap off 62 at Kempton last time. He is up in grade to Class 5 with a 6 lb penalty today and his lack of talent will be exposed in this race.
The beast is a much better horse on the polytrack and is still a maiden on turf after 12 races.
He has been beaten on his 3 previous course runs from marks of 62, 62 and 63 and should not be able to win off today's lifetime high of 68.
It's a competitive race and Bobby Rose is no Bobby Dazzler so I will be laying the useless swine.
