UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

KODIBEAT justified market support when she got off the mark at the first time of asking in similar race at Kempton 20 days ago and is a key player now switched to turf. The 7lb penalty obviously complicates the matter, but her pedigree is all about speed and she can put her experience to good use if handling the ground. Diamont Katie debuts for a yard with a very good strike-rate with juveniles and merits consideration, while Fly Liberty Fly is another notable debutant.
Prediction : 1st Kodibeat 2nd Diamont Katie 3rd Fly Liberty Fly

Mehmo had a couple of lengths to spare over Stallone when he scored over this course and distance 10 days ago, but is by no means certain to uphold the form. However, this can go to QUANAH, who hinted at a revival when third in similar race at Leicester on Saturday and, given he gets plenty of weight from his two main rivals, Liam Bailey's eight-year-old looks the call in a wide-open race.
Prediction : 1st Quanah 2nd Stallone 3rd Mehmo

CLEAR STORM debuts in a handicap from a very workable mark and, assuming the switch to turf is taken in her stride, this half-sister to the Listed-winning Mystic Pearl has a lot going for her on these terms. Summit was second to a promising type at Ripon on her seasonal debut 12 days ago and enters calculations despite conceding 7lb to the selection. All-weather maiden winner Kindest Nation also warrants some thought on her first run on grass.
Prediction : 1st Clear Storm 2nd Summit 3rd Kindest Nation

DORA MILAJE tasted defeat for the first time when finishing third on her handicap bow at Newmarket in July. However, that was still a respectable effort in the circumstances and David O'Meara's filly appears capable of taking another step forward. Roarin' Success commands respect having won on her return at Ascot last season, while a drop in grade gives Mother Mary every chance of being competitive.
Prediction : 1st Dora Milaje 2nd Roarin Success 3rd Mother Mary

HEARTACHE TONIGHT was highly tried last season with all four of her outings coming in Group company, including when fourth in the Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp in May, and this appeals as a nice opportunity for David Menuisier's filly to get back to winning ways. Ching Shih is expected to be a key player, despite the trip probably being short of her best, while Elegancia and Madame Ambassador are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Heartache Tonight 2nd Ching Shih 3rd Elegancia

It is hard to look past ARDBRACCAN, who scored comfortably over C&D last week and she can successfully shoulder a 6lb rise to bring up the double here. Underfoot conditions should hold no fears for Astronomica and the consistent daughter of Belardo warrants respect on her return to action. Kynsa also merits consideration after finishing fourth on her seasonal reappearance over a mile at Southwell earlier this month, although there doesn't look to be a lot of margin for error off her current rating.
Prediction : 1st Ardbraccan 2nd Astronomica 3rd Kynsa

BLUFFERONTHEBUS pulled clear with the runner-up when scoring in determined fashion over 6f at Pontefract last week and she can defy a 6lb penalty to bring up the double. Anglesey Lad weakened late on over 7f last month and it would be no surprise if he were to emerge as the main danger to the selection stepping back to 6f, while better can be expected from Groove Inn on her first start in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Blufferonthebus 2nd Anglesey Lad 3rd Groove Inn
