Wall of Fire (11/8), Moonrise Landing (2/1), Elidor (6/1), Trip To Paris (6/1), Culmination (50/1)
An early midweek feast of high quality Flat action at Nottingham with this traditional season curtain raiser paying homage to both Barry Hills and Further Flight. A small but very select field line up, with only one of the five runners able to be totally discounted (Culmination). Trip To Paris has failed to reach the Group 1 heights of 2015, and there must be grave doubts as to whether he retains the ability to do so once again. Therefore, this is best left to the returning mare Moonrise Landing and the fast improving Hugo Palmer trained four-year-old WALL OF FIRE. Clear preference is for the latter named, and he can build upon his pleasing Meydan return last month and set himself up to scale new uncharted heights during the course of 2017.
