UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Exoplanet is best excused his effort when finishing last (of six) in the Autumn Stakes at Newmarket in October and likely has more to offer this season. Marginal preference, however, is for TORITO, who travelled with purpose on his debut at Newbury in the same month, before inexperience appeared to get the better of him and he weakened into third. Overactive wasn't disgraced in two all-weather appearances over the winter and Ralph Beckett's inmate makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Torito 2nd Exoplanet 3rd Overactive

Latin Verse appeared to improve for the step up in trip when winning over 1m4f at Lingfield in February and there may be some value in taking on the son of Postponed now returned this distance. MUDSKIPPER shaped as if 1m was on the sharp side for him last season and this first attempt over 1m2f could unlock the improvement needed for a first success for David Menuisier's colt. Bohemian Breeze is another who could improve for this stiffer test and he also warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st Mudskipper 2nd Bohemian Breeze 3rd Latin Verse

FIX YOU reappeared in good form when collared close home over 6f at Kempton recently and, with this return to 5f and underfoot conditions to suit, she may been let in lightly off an opening mark of 77. Thankuappreciate doesn't have the benefit of a recent run, but Nigel Tinkler's charge may also have more to offer this season now entering handicaps and is feared most. Paddy's Day, Desperate Hero and Castan also have claims in a competitive-looking contest.
Prediction : 1st Fix You 2nd Thankuappreciate 3rd Paddys Day

TAJALLA won a decent-looking novice stakes at Newmarket on his only start as a juvenile and, given he won with authority that day, he is taken to cope with having to concede weight all round at this stage. Eternal Class impressed when she won a maiden at Thirsk on her racecourse bow and rates a big threat, if forgiven a modest effort on the all-weather when last seen. Fair Wind is also considered after posting a respectable third on debut over C&D last week.
Prediction : 1st Tajalla 2nd Eternal Class 3rd Fair Wind

TRUESHAN and Hollie Doyle teamed up to good effect when winning this race last season and, given how well the rest of the campaign panned out for the partnership, they are hard to oppose in the bid for back-to-back successes. Last season's Gold Cup runner-up, Mojo Star, rates as the chief danger, although Buzz, who hasn't been seen since winning a Grade 2 over hurdles 508 days ago, has to be of interest on his return, considering he won the 2021 renewal of the Cesarewitch on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Trueshan 2nd Mojo Star 3rd Buzz

CLASS MEMBER makes both her handicap and turf debut in first-time cheekpieces following a fair fourth at Chelmsford over 7f last month. She is fairly well-related and must hold every chance off what appears a feasible opening mark of 71, but the Roger Varian-trained Bonkersinabundance was only narrowly denied on her sole turf run at Brighton last October and can give the selection plenty to think about. Anieres Girl completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Class Member 2nd Bonkersinabundance 3rd Anieres Girl

Only denied a double by half a length over a mile at Newcastle last month, ELEVEN ELEVEN can have another big say in proceedings on his turf debut here. He is now rated 8lb above his last winning all-weather mark, though, so the class-dropping Mabre should not be taken lightly and could also be thereabouts. Nine Elms is another who warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Eleven Eleven 2nd Mabre 3rd Nine Elms
