UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

GREY CUBAN made a very pleasing racecourse debut when second over 6f at Newmarket and this looks like a nice opportunity of going one better today. Hugo Palmer's charge was guilty of racing a bit greenly when it mattered on that occasion and he's likely to know more following that experience. Cheeky Blimey is feared most after being just touched off over 6f at Newmarket last time, while Angel Of England isn't ruled out of converting her neck second over 6f at Thirsk into a better result today.
Prediction : 1st Grey Cuban 2nd Cheeky Blimey 3rd Angel Of England

Plenty of connections will be arriving here hopeful of their runner claiming this prize and the tentative selection is BELLE FOURCHE. David O'Meara's charge was a good third over 6f at Wolverhampton last time, where she was beaten just three-quarters of a length, and, off the same mark today, she can go close once again. Sassy Belle should also be thereabouts after being handed a chance by the handicapper and is now 2lb lower than her third over 6f at Windsor on her penultimate start, while Little Muddy should also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Belle Fourche 2nd Sassy Belle 3rd Little Muddy

DUNES KING showed a willing attitude to get off the mark at the first time of asking over 1m2f at Windsor and this looks to be a good opportunity to follow up that success. That form was boosted by the second coming out and scoring in facile fashion over that same C&D on Monday, so Harry and Roger Charlton's charge appears primed for another bold bid today. Syllabus also commands respect based on his third over 1m2f at Windsor, while Arctic Mountain also deserves a closer look.
Prediction : 1st Dunes King 2nd Syllabus 3rd Arctic Mountain

WARREN HILL appeared to relish a step up to 10 furlongs when filling the runner-up spot over track and trip last month. That form has worked out well, with the winner going on to follow up, so Roger Varian's filly looks to have an excellent chance from just 1lb higher. Frankel filly Gentle Light is entitled to take a step forward on her handicap debut, as is Mountain Lake, who sports a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Warren Hill 2nd Gentle Light 3rd Mountain Lake

MASCANI justified strong market support when winning at Beverley last month and the unexposed son of Mastercraftsman is fancied to repeat the dose from a 3lb raised mark. First-time blinkers could elicit further improvement from Zaakara, who continues to run well in defeat. Nannie Dee appeals as a likely improver now upped in trip, while Sanction is just one more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mascani 2nd Zaakara 3rd Nannie Dee

Time To Rumble was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when winning at Ayr last month and, though he merits respect from 3lb higher, preference is for MY HONEY B. Her recent Beverley success looked unlikely having been detached early on, but she was comfortably on top at the finish and rates as the one to beat in her hat-trick bid. The consistent Hostelry should be thereabouts, while Nine Elms heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st My Honey B 2nd Time To Rumble 3rd Hostelry
