### 5:25 Nottingham: THE SWEET ESCAPE

This David Loughnane runner won here at Nottingham four runs back but has failed to build on that since off higher marks.

Is still rated 3lbs higher than that win and even though the return to Notts could help, he also only won by a nose the last time he won.

That win was also his sole career success from 16 starts and even though Saffie is a plus in the plate, I’m happy to look elsewhere for the winner here.

*Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).*
