4.40 Nottingham, Wednesday, October 18
It seems an awfully long time ago that Move In Time won the Prix de l’Abbaye de Longchamp – it was, in fact, three seasons ago – and the 9-year-old has been in steady decline in recent seasons. However, the Monsieur Bond gelding is still capable of decent form on his day, as he demonstrated when fifth of 14, beaten 1¼ lengths, in a 0-95 contest at York in July, off a handicap mark of 94. He recently left David O’Meara to join Paul Midgley, but wouldn’t be the first horse to be rejuvenated by a change of scenery and finds himself in a fairly ordinary 0-85 contest off a handicap mark of 83, his lowest ever. Clearly, he comes with risks attached but, if he’s destined for a return to the winners’ enclosure, today could be his day under conditions that should suit him.
Selection: Nottingham 4.40 Move In Time to win 8/1
