Racing Post verdict
Third-partySergeant Mayer arrives here in better shape than his rating alone suggests, with a progressive profile pointing to a horse still moving in the right direction and a fitness edge over some rivals that counts for plenty over this sharp five furlongs at Nottingham. Little Jaybee holds the highest rating in the field and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Hurt You Never and Invincible Crown also pose genuine threats on a track that tends to reward horses hitting the ground running. The case for our selection rests on momentum and readiness rather than raw figures, though in a six-runner Class 6 heat the margins are fine. **Sergeant Mayer** is the pick, with Little Jaybee the chief danger.
