UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

BERYL BURTON is an appealing option given the improvement she has shown this year. The John Berry-trained mare is worth forgiving her most recent start at Bath, as she was denied a clear run near the finish, and may well have got a lot closer to rewarding the strong support she received in the betting that day. If anything, this looks easier and she may have too much of a finishing kick for the likes of Out Of Sight and Ivy Avenue.
Prediction : 1st Beryl Burton 2nd Out Of Sight 3rd Ivy Avenue

TIORA debuts in a nursery off a workable mark of just 62 and, possibly more crucially, she can improve now dropped back to six furlongs. Her dam won over this trip as a juvenile and this looks like a good piece of placement by her trainer, Patrick Owens. Chat Up Line is another with scope with the hood retained, while Lady Of Africa can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Tiora 2nd Chat Up Line 3rd Lady Of Africa

FIERCE could be a stride or two quicker than his inexperienced opposition if he runs up to his current mark. The ground has come right for the gelding and a belated breakthrough success is a big possibility. Moonlight Dreamer runs for a yard synonymous with developing sprinters and he is feared most, although Star Map and Flying Kiss have also shown enough natural ability to have an impact too.
Prediction : 1st Fierce 2nd Moonlight Dreamer 3rd Star Map

An easy winner over C&D last time out, FORTUNATE STAR must hold every chance of following up despite a hefty 10lb rise. Conditions are in his favour once more and he gets the vote at the expense of Refuge, who has been in excellent form of late, and Ernest Rutherford. Strong Johnson has yet to click since joining the Paul Midgley team, but he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Fortunate Star 2nd Refuge 3rd Ernest Rutherford

BIG BARD had been in excellent form prior to his latest effort at Lingfield and Anna Gibson's 7lb claim should be an advantage in his attempt to make it three straight wins on turf. Bayraat improved for dropping back in trip when narrowly getting up over C&D last month, and he looks to be the main danger, as well as Brighton second Rhythmic Acclaim.
Prediction : 1st Big Bard 2nd Bayraat 3rd Rhythmic Acclaim

This could finally be the day that CALYPSO gets off the mark after some creditable runs in defeat the last twice. The three-year-old seemed to get the trip at Hamilton and the booking of Hollie Doyle catches the eye as he looks to master the likes of Jack Daniel, who was a convincing winner at Thirsk on his penultimate outing, and Star Zinc.
Prediction : 1st Calypso 2nd Jack Daniel 3rd Star Zinc
