UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Not a daunting standard set by those with experience, so it might be worth taking a chance on debutant QUEEN OF ATLANTIS. The daughter of Advertise, a 40,000gns purchase at the Tattersalls Guineas sales last month, is related to plenty of winners and might be capable of a bold showing on her racecourse debut. Treat Of Treats enters calculations for a yard that often excel with their juveniles, while Lady Wulfrun appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Queen Of Atlantis 2nd Treat Of Treats 3rd Lady Wulfrun

Successful on three of her last six starts, preference is for the steadily progressive JAX EDGE, who might be capable of defying a subsequent 6lb rise for the latest of those victories. Only narrowly denied on her handicap debut at Leicester last month, Torfrida appeals as the most likely danger. Surrey Noir ran to a consistent level across his three efforts to date, though it would come as no surprise were he to step forward here.
Prediction : 1st Jax Edge 2nd Torfrida 3rd Surrey Noir

VAN GERWEN hasn't been on target since his win in the corresponding event 12 months ago, which came from a 7lb higher mark. He can be forgiven a below-par Beverley effort, and a return to the form that saw him beaten a nose into second at Ripon on his penultimate start, could see Paul Midgley's sprinter hit the bullseye. Stablemate Good Luck Fox heads the dangers, while others to note include May Blossom and Eeh Bah Gum.
Prediction : 1st Van Gerwen 2nd Good Luck Fox 3rd May Blossom

Taswara has shown very little so far with three unplaced efforts, but she steps up to a mile and a quarter here and with plenty of stamina in her pedigree we may yet see a much-improved effort. ORDER OF ST JOHN has won here over an extended mile and he may have the best credentials, especially with this trip unlikely to cause any problems. The Go To is another one to watch for Tim Easterby, who has his string in excellent form.
Prediction : 1st Order Of St John 2nd Taswara 3rd The Go To

Obama Army may prove popular and is a model of consistency, with a win and four seconds from his last five starts. He looks likely to get into the mix again here, but he has to give 4lb to FOUGERE, a half-length second over C&D last month on heavy ground and seemingly on an upward curve. As a daughter of Bated Breath, she may be even happier on this quicker surface and could well improve again. Brabusach and Khangai look all set to battle it out for third.
Prediction : 1st Fougere 2nd Obama Army 3rd Brabusach

MR TRICK managed to get up in the shadows of the post over 6f at Wolverhampton in March and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid now faced with a stiffer task reverted to turf. His main threat could emerge from Nine Elms, who was far from disgraced on his stable debut here last month and he too looks capable of picking up a race of this nature. Obee Jo arrives in fair form and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd Nine Elms 3rd Obee Jo

Although keen, TEAM ENDEAVOUR appeared to relish the extra distance over 2m at Wetherby last week and holds obvious claims. Ian Williams' gelding won an apprentice handicap on that occasion and gets to run off the same mark. Marbuzet did well to finish third from an uncompromising position at Leicester in late-May and is feared most off 1lb lower, while Geelong can't be discounted off his declining mark either.
Prediction : 1st Team Endeavour 2nd Marbuzet 3rd Geelong
