UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

CLAN ROYALE paid the price for going off too fast at Goodwood last time, failing to justify 1-3 favouritism and fading into third. However, he still rates the one to beat on his earlier 5f second at Ascot and may benefit from a return to more patient tactics this afternoon. No Mercy is yet to run a bad race and could emerge as the main danger, unless there is notable market support for newcomers Danyah and Panic Room.
Prediction : 1st Clan Royale 2nd Danyah 3rd No Mercy

Valentino Sunrise has been raised 1lb for a narrow 5f defeat at Doncaster last month and has strong place prospects, as does One Boy, who has picked up the silver medal at Ayr and Leicester the last twice. Preferred ahead of both, however, is BRONZE BEAU, a likeable front-running veteran who has dropped 10lb below his last winning mark and could give a good account at this venue under an aggressive ride.
Prediction : 1st Bronze Beau 2nd Valentino Sunrise 3rd One Boy

CASANOVA seemed to find the extended 7f on the sharp side at Beverley last time and could appreciate the return to further, having posted his best effort to date when finishing a neck second over the extended mile at Epsom previously. Godolphin representative Ghaly is closely matched with the selection on official figures and could put up most resistance, though any money for James Tate's debutant Court Order would also have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Casanova 2nd Ghaly 3rd Court Order

Classic Charm bolted up by seven lengths over track and trip when last sighted but the handicapper has reacted by handing her a 12lb rise. It may thus be worth siding with POLYPHONY in the hope she can gain compensation for her neck defeat off 2lb lower over C&D last time. Kimblewick and Romola are both sporting new pieces of headgear and are others to consider in an open-looking affair.
Prediction : 1st Polyphony 2nd Classic Charm 3rd Kimblewick

Rochester House has won races at Beverley and Catterick by an aggregate of 15 lengths, but they have come over 2m and LAAFY could have too much toe over this trip. Sir Michael Stoute's lightly-raced three-year-old was just touched off over 1m4f at Kempton, and there is the promise of much to come. All of Saroog's three career triumphs have come on quick ground so any rain would have to be a concern, especially under his welter burden, and testing conditions could also be against African Jazz.
Prediction : 1st Laafy 2nd Rochester House 3rd Saroog

A really interesting heat, with Birdcage Walk on a hat-trick following victories here and at Windsor, and Teodora De Vega having won two of her last three, although she was beaten by Birdcage Walk on these terms at this venue. OJOOBA could be the one to side with, though, as she is open to more improvement and left a lasting impression when breaking her maiden at the third attempt here last month.
Prediction : 1st Ojooba 2nd Birdcage Walk 3rd Teodora De Vega

Imogen Mathias is striking up a decent partnership with GRAVITY WAVE and the most recent evidence, when she kept John Flint's gelding going into second at Newbury, suggested that he is about ready to strike. Similarly, Katy Brooks knows how to get the best out of Light Of Air, who is a big danger. Dark Devil has dropped to a really tempting mark and is another to consider closely.
Prediction : 1st Gravity Wave 2nd Light Of Air 3rd Dark Devil
