UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Preference is for INTERCESSOR, who has run with credit on a couple of occasions this season without winning. The five-year-old has slipped to a mark just 3lb higher than his last win, which came over C&D last July. Fellow course winner Good Regal must hold strong claims on the back of a narrow defeat at Yarmouth last month, while Tele Red ran well for second at Carlisle on Monday and could go well if able to repeat the feat.
Prediction : 1st Intercessor 2nd Good Regal 3rd Tele Red

DESERT TEAM looked on good terms with himself when comfortably seeing off his rivals at Catterick last month and the daughter of Invincible Spirit should be open to far more improvement on just her sixth career outing. James Watt bounced back to form with a decisive success at Ripon and a 6lb rise may underestimate him. There wasn't much between Glamorous Breeze (second) and Newyorkstateofmind (third) when they met at Bath and both are likely to be thereabouts again.
Prediction : 1st Desert Team 2nd James Watt 3rd Glamorous Breeze

An easy winner at Sandown last Friday, it is difficult to look past the in-form MOSTLY CLOUDY, who has been a revelation since upped in trip and carries a 6lb penalty into this contest. His main danger could be Haarar, who won nicely at Windsor on his penultimate start and shaped once more at Salisbury as though he would relish an extra couple of furlongs. Karl Burke's horses continue in great form and Polyphonic is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mostly Cloudy 2nd Haarar 3rd Polyphonic

It is hard to oppose INFINITI, who made her presence felt when switching back to the Flat on her most recent outing over 2m at Wetherby, where she kept on well to win by a length and a quarter. She ran well given she was out of the handicap on that occasion and she can follow up. Brute Force is another to note following his most recent outing on the all-weather, where he came home in front of five rivals over the same trip. Hidden Pearl may have more to offer following her seasonal debut and should not be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Infiniti 2nd Brute Force 3rd Hidden Pearl

EPONINA has only gone up 1lb for her recent win at Catterick over 7f and she drops in class going up in trip, so a repeat performance is not out of the question. Both of her wins this season have come on good ground, so she should appreciate the drying conditions and rates a solid contender. Sienna Breeze is worth a menton given she is in the hands of a 5lb claimer, while Girl Inthe Picture seeks to get involved in a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Eponina 2nd Sienna Breeze 3rd Girl Inthe Picture

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained SUNSTONE is a half-sister to multiple Group winner Midday and is tipped to get the job done at the first time of asking. The Pivotal filly has a hood fitted for her debut outing and, if fully tuned up for this, she could win before moving up in class. Exciting News failed to build on her promising debut when she finished last at Ascot, but she was later found to be in season and can be forgiven that run. Thundershower shaped well on debut at Chelmsford and is entitled to have learned plenty from that experience.
Prediction : 1st Sunstone 2nd Thundershower 3rd Exciting News

HURT YOU NEVER got off the mark in good style at Carlisle last month and, although she's been raised 7lb for that win, she may be worth siding with for now. The form of her win has been boosted since with Basholo, who was third on that occasion, winning at Leicester over the weekend. Devon Envoy won easy when making all at Salisbury eight days ago, though a 6lb penalty is sure to make life more difficult. Keep Me Happy didn't get the clearest of runs at Lingfield last month and could go close this time.
Prediction : 1st Hurt You Never 2nd Devon Envoy 3rd Keep Me Happy
