DARLINGTON trainer Michael Dods, enjoying his best ever season, can add to his scoresheet at Nottingham tomorrow.
Dods saddles Mr Bountiful in the Lawrence Of Arabia Classified Stakes and Paul Hanagan's mount is fancied to get back in the winning groove.
A horse who is most effective when held-up for a late run, Mr Bountiful needs things to pan out right for him.
But he should get plenty of cover in this six furlongs dash and he is selected to go one better after failing by only half a length to catch Lucefer at Yarmouth 12 days ago.
Kavi could be the star turn in the Colwick Park Nursery over ten furlongs.
Patrick Haslam's youngster won over an extended seven furlongs at Beverley last time and promises to relish this extra distance.
Smart Apprentice Lee Enstone ,seen to good effect on narrow winner Ocean Tide at Musselburgh yesterday, has the mount on Kavi who carries the nap vote.
Mark Johnston can do no wrong at present and the North Yorkshire trainer, who had two winners at Ascot yesterday, can score with Perfect Picture in the Levy Board Autumn Handicap.
The three-year-old has run only three times, but has shown enough promise to suggest a bold bid is likely in this staying test.
The promising Largo (3.30) and previous course and distance winner Star Seventeen (5.00) are also worth noting on a Nottingham card, which features more quantity than quality.
Over the sticks at Sedgefield, Danteco promises to be hard to beat in the Johnny Ridley Memorial Handicap Chase.
Trained at Middleham by Kate Milligan, the seven-year-old has been in good form lately, winning two of his last four starts and finishing in the money on the other two occasions.
Furthermore, he is already a winner on this course. Brian Storey has the mount.
George Moore, also based at Middleham, has a good record at Sedgefield and he can add to his tally by landing the Scotchhills Holsteins Novices' Hurdle with recent winner Latensaani. Russ Garrity will be in the saddle.
Also worth noting are last week's Perth winner Double Blade (2.50) and the promising Quarterstaff (3.20).
