With the jumps meeting at Huntingdon threatened by waterlogging and Wincanton already abandoned, it is probably best to concentrate on the allweather fixture at Wolverhampton.

Nose The Trade appears the best bet on the card and is well worth waiting for in the closing I'm Too Sexy Handicap.

The three-year-old was no great shakes on turf, winning just a seller at Newmarket from his three starts as a juvenile.

But he has looked a useful handicapper in the making since tried on fibresand.

Reappearing here last month the gelding ran very well until lack of peak fitness told from the furlong-pole, eventually weakening into fourth place.

And he showed that was no false dawn by landing a comfortable victory on this course a fortnight later, cruising to the front inside the final furlong and appearing to score with plenty to spare.

Nose The Trade is well worth backing to defy a 6lb rise in the weights.

His trainer Jamie Osborne and apprentice jockey Shane Kelly can initiate a double with Malarkey in the Happy Days Are Here Again Maiden Stakes.

Our Fred will take plenty of catching in the five-furlong Jules Verne Handicap. This speedy front-runner shook off all bar one rival in a good race over this course and distance last month, eventually going down by just a head to Eastern Trumpeter who got up in the last 200 yards.

If Huntingdon passes a 7.30 a.m. inspection the ex-French Azertyuiop is worth looking out for in the Betabet Juvenile Novices' Hurdle. He is an exciting recruit to trainer Paul Nicholls' strong team.
