The sun is setting on the flat season, but there’s a competitive seven-race card from Nottingham on Wednesday afternoon.

The action gets underway with a novice event at 14:02 and the Colwick Park highlight is the Class 3 nursery at 15:47.

14:37 – Sanction @ 15/8

Sanction made it two-from-two since switching to handicaps with an impressive victory at Catterick 19 days ago and Edward Bethell’s runner can land the hattrick in the fillies’ handicap at 14:37.

The three-year-old is up to a mark of 72, having started her winning off 60 but the ease with which she won at Catterick suggests this should be well within the grasp of the daughter of Camelot.

The three-year-old again steps up two furlongs to the one-mile-and-six-furlong trip on Wednesday, but there was no sign of the progressive filly stopping when making all and winning without being seriously challenged last time out and the well-bred daughter of Camelot looks ready to score again.

16:57 – Stressfree @ 2/1

Stressfree ran an excellent race, on just his second start for trainer David O’Meara at Ayr eight days ago, and the three-year-old can take the honours in the one-mile-and-two-furlong handicap at 16:57.

The son of Anodin looked all over the winner when bursting through to take up the running at the Scottish track last time out, but he was run down by Hartswood in the closing stages.

However, the front two pulled well clear of the remainder of the field on that occasion and the three-year-old races off the same mark at Nottingham.

The forecast rain on Wednesday afternoon will be no inconvenience to Stressfree and he looks set for a big run.

17:30 – Lhebayeb @ 3/1

The final race on the card is an apprentice handicap run over one-mile-and-two furlongs at 17:30 and it can go the way of the in-form Lhebayeb.

Victor Dartnall’s charge was denied a hatrick at Goodwood last time out, after previously scoring twice at Bath, but the five-year-old struggled to get a run in West Sussex and still finished with a rattle to grab third.

That run confirmed that Lhebayeb remains in rude health, and anything like a clear run, can see the five-year-old get her head back in front.
