16:40 Nottingham Tips — Wednesday 8th April 2026

The 16:40 at Nottingham presents a fantastic opportunity, and we’re putting our full faith behind George Scott’s **Crimson Rambler**.

This three-year-old gelding has been the epitome of consistency lately, hitting the frame in an impressive four of his last five runs. This reliability, coupled with his recent victory, speaks volumes about his current wellbeing and signals a horse very much on an upward curve. Being a young three-year-old with a win under his belt, there's significant scope for further progression, and we fully expect him to continue his winning ways in this company.

Crucially for this 12-runner contest, Crimson Rambler has landed a plum draw in stall 2. This low gate provides jockey Liam Wright with an ideal platform to secure a prominent early position, conserving vital energy and giving him every chance to dictate terms or sit just off the pace. His current OR of 67 looks eminently workable, and he looks set to deliver on his odds-on price.

For those seeking an each-way alternative, **Bearin Up** offers appeal at a bigger price and could certainly outrun his odds for a place.
