Hunter Forward let down favourite-backers last time but losses can be recouped as she tackles division two of the Keoghs Irish Bar Nottingham Handicap at the Midlands track.

The five-year-old ex-Australian runner has yet to learn how to settle in a race, a factor which became crucial when stepped up to a mile and a half last time.

Racing on soft ground, she was keen throughout and was still travelling easily two furlongs out when she took up the lead.

However, her exuberant early showing told in the closing stages as she faded into third, eventually finishing just over five lengths adrift.

That defeat ended Hunter Forward's winning run for Luca Cumani after scoring at Sandown on her British debut before following up over 10 furlongs at Haydock.

Cumani reverts to that trip here and while Hunter Forward has not been eased at all in the ratings, she will have plenty of assistance from the saddle as Kieren Fallon reclaims the ride.

Estourah is something of a tricky customer but he is worth a shout in the first division.

A visor did not entirely work the trick at Goodwood last time as he travelled well before not really picking up under a hands-and-heels ride in the finish.

He may not have enjoyed the soft ground that day so he is worth a chance back on a better surface for Saeed bin Suroor.

Misdemeanour can be the star of the show at Kempton by landing the betdaq Mobile Apps Nursery.

Richard Hannon's runner was a two-length winner on her debut at this track last month, coming home with a fair bit in hand.

The handicapper has made thorough note of that victory in handing her a starting mark of 80, but Misdemeanour looks the type to excel in this sort of company.

Know No Fear can make full use of a 2lb ease in his rating in the TurfTV Handicap.

Definite All Star looked to be all at sea on testing ground last time but better is expected back on quicker conditions at Ludlow.

The seven-year-old has yet to strike in eight attempts over fences but his time can come in the Ludlow Food Centre Beginners' Chase.

Milgen Bay switches to chasing at Towcester and this solid hurdler could be a decent prospect in his new sphere.

Although he did not win over hurdles, he was knocking on the door on more than one occasion and could benefit from the move to bigger obstacles in the gg.com Beginners' Chase.
