We have one runner on Saturday, when Irv makes his first visit to Nottingham, on what will be his 44 racecourse appearance, where the going is currently riding good to firm.
Irv is now 1lb below his last winning mark, and can be probably marked up a little, as on his last run at Ripon seven weeks ago he was short of room at around the furlong marker, so he did well in the circumstances to finish a four and a half lengths fifth. He runs at 6.12.pm, in the 0-65 handicap for female amateur riders, over 10 furlongs, with Becky Smith who was on board the last time he won, taking the ride.

Good luck to the connections, Anthony Bithell & Partner.
