UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

BEAUTY STONE had to settle for sixth at Newmarket on her first taste of competitive action, but there was plenty of encouragement to take from the performance and the 475,000-euro purchase is bred to relish this stiffer test of stamina. There are races in Girl From Mars and Warne's Army, but the newcomers may give the Godolphin youngster most to think about. John Gosden is responsible for two of them, with Sun Bear, a Dubawi filly out of the yard's Irish Oaks heroine Great Heavens, the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Beauty Stone 2nd Sun Bear 3rd Girl From Mars

She's A Unicorn hasn't looked back since entering the nursery ranks, defying a penalty for her C&D success when supplementing those gains at Doncaster. She is only 1lb higher now, but PARIKARMA is also unbeaten since going handicapping and Ed Dunlop's juvenile is fancied to follow up her Yarmouth victory. Isobar Wind only took a Wolverhampton seller so has work to do against the other last-start winners. Sterling Stamp is interesting on his first foray outside of maiden/novice company, though.
Prediction : 1st Parikarma 2nd Shes A Unicorn 3rd Sterling Stamp

On the back of his debut Yarmouth fourth, MISHRIFF was sent off favourite for a warm Newbury novice event and although he ultimately had to settle for third, there was plenty of merit in the performance and testing conditions hold no fears for him. King's Castle could never get competitive on his Newmarket introduction but he did put in some decent late work. There are some good horses in Highfield Haven's pedigree so it is surprising he changed hands for just 2,000gns as a yearling.
Prediction : 1st Mishriff 2nd Kings Castle 3rd Highfield Haven

On the same day that Salamanca School bettered his debut third at Bath, Phoenix Aquilus also occupied the runner-up berth. That C&D effort came on his first day at school so natural improvement should be forthcoming, but he crosses swords with an interesting newcomer in the shape of BOOK REVIEW. The John Gosden-trained Dubawi colt is bred to come into his own over middle-distances next year, but can take this before he does. French Asset and Camahawk add further intrigue to a potentially informative heat.
Prediction : 1st Book Review 2nd Phoenix Aquilus 3rd French Asset

Goddess Of Fire enjoyed the step up in trip when getting off the mark on her first outing for John Ryan at Chelmsford and is respected off a 5lb higher mark. However, preference is for INTERNATIONAL LION, who ran a huge race to finish third at York and could enjoy the cut in the ground as he tries an extra two furlongs off just a 1lb higher rating. Never Said Nothing wasn't disgraced on her debut for Jonathan Portman and can beat Ami Li Bert to the final podium spot.
Prediction : 1st International Lion 2nd Goddess Of Fire 3rd Never Said Nothing

BELLEVARDE has relished conditions here of late, including when scoring over course and distance last week. Richard Price's five-year-old looks set for another leading performance under a 5lb penalty, although Hieronymus, runner-up on that occasion, won't be far away. Track-and-trip winner Show Palace, who was two lengths adrift in fourth in that contest, warrants plenty of respect, while Smokey Lane's hat-trick bid ended in disappointment at Newbury but this looks a lot more winnable.
Prediction : 1st Bellevarde 2nd Hieronymus 3rd Show Palace

Scott Dixon's EBITDA won this in 2017 and could be the one to side with once again having shaped nicely over course and distance to finish third in similar conditions off this rating last month. Astrophysics' recent Catterick third entitles him to plenty of respect, while Lydiate Lady ran with credit here last week and won't mind the forecast cut in the ground.
Prediction : 1st Ebitda 2nd Astrophysics 3rd Lydiate Lady

GAMESTERS ICON made it three in a row when obliging favourite-backers in heavy ground at Doncaster and could thrive once again in similar conditions following a 7lb rise. Deinonychus saw his hat-trick bid end in disappointment on that occasion, but a return to this venue is very much in the four-time track-and-trip winner's favour. Luna Magic was down the field in that Town Moor encounter but she could bounce back to the form she showed before it.
Prediction : 1st Gamesters Icon 2nd Deinonychus 3rd Luna Magic
