At Nottingham on Monday there has been a huge gamble take place in one of the races, with the Class 6 Handicap over 1m6f seeing a horse go into 7/2 from 50/1 at the start of the day.

The five year old has come under some serious support over the last few hours and having shown very little over the last year the money seems unjustified.

However, these are the gambles that are worth taking notice of and having been extremely poor he has dramatically dropped down the handicap and is now 22lb lower than his last winning flat mark.

Very interesting.
