UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

DADDIES DIVA wasn't beaten far over C&D last time when picking up a silver medal and could build on that having shown plenty of improvement between her first and second outings. Callipygian finished fourth on debut and should have a lot more to come, while there is a whole host of newcomers to consider including the two Dandy Man fillies Queenoftheclyde and Quiet Word.
Prediction : 1st Daddies Diva 2nd Callipygian 3rd Queenoftheclyde

POET'S PRIDE took a novice event at Wolverhampton when last seen and David Barron's four-year-old looks well placed for a successful return to handicapping. Tricky Dicky was a winner of a Southwell match last time and is respected on his first outing for Roger Fell, while Papa Delta was in good form on the all-weather this autumn/winter and is noted on his reappearance. C&D winner Penny Pot Lane is another to consider, with Decision Maker running with credit off this mark at Pontefract last month.
Prediction : 1st Poets Pride 2nd Tricky Dicky 3rd Papa Delta

QARASU was beaten just a neck on debut over 1m at Newbury in October and Roger Charlton's runner could enjoy the step up in trip on his reappearance. Dalaalaat was a winner here on his final start of last season and the Kingman colt has to be respected, while Aktau was third over C&D on his introduction and now wears a hood. Godolphin's Dubai Falcon is a newcomer to keep an eye on, as is the 75,000-euro purchase Medal Winner.
Prediction : 1st Qarasu 2nd Dalaalaat 3rd Aktau

DARK MIRACLE impressed over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time when a comfortable three-length novice stakes winner and makes plenty of appeal switching to the handicap ranks. The 400,000-dollar yearling Amjaady is another making the switch to handicapping following some respectable efforts last season and could benefit from being gelded in the interim. Blinkers might help El Picador build on his Wolverhampton reappearance, while Fly Lightly was only beaten a head at Lingfield in March and has to be considered.
Prediction : 1st Dark Miracle 2nd Amjaady 3rd Fly Lightly

TWIST 'N' SHAKE confirmed the promise that she displayed on debut last year by going down narrowly on her seasonal return at Newmarket. She finished just a head behind Maqsad in the latter event and that filly easily won the Pretty Polly on Sunday, which suggests that this daughter of Kingman will be extremely hard to beat. Audarya also looks to have a bright future based on her debut effort at Kempton, while Ojooba is entitled to improve for her recent run at Newmarket. Qamka is closely related to multiple black type performers and she is newcomer to note, while Marmarr should also be monitored in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Twist n Shake 2nd Audarya 3rd Ojooba

GIVE IT SOME TEDDY arrives here on the back of two victories and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the five-year-old to complete the hat-trick, having been raised just 3lb for the most recent of those wins. Confrontational displayed some promise when finishing third over C&D last month and he could make the frame, while Secret Return is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Give It Some Teddy 2nd Confrontational 3rd Secret Return
