UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

ALENTEJO was too keen for his own good when finishing last of six in a warm Newbury maiden on his debut last season, but stepping marginally up in trip with that outing under his belt, it would be no surprise if the son of Waldgeist was able to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Redhot Whisper hasn't kicked on as expected after finishing an excellent second over a mile at Doncaster on his second start last September but, with cheekpieces enlisted, he may get back on track. Condor Pasa has the ability to feature prominently in a race of this nature and warrants respect for his in-form stable.
Prediction : 1st Alentejo 2nd Redhot Whisper 3rd Condor Pasa

LUNARIO displayed a likeable attitude when scoring in first-time blinkers (retained) over a mile at Yarmouth last month and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent Alice Haynes' charge from bringing up the double. Prefer The Sister is racing off what looks a workable opening mark on her handicap debut and she may emerge as the main danger to the selection, while The Spotlight Kid arrives on the back of an admirable placed effort over C&D and merits a second look off 1lb lower.
Prediction : 1st Lunario 2nd Prefer The Sister 3rd The Spotlight Kid

300,000-euro purchase PADESHA kept on into fourth after becoming outpaced in a Newmarket maiden over a mile last month and, stepping up in trip, he edges preference for his in-form stable. Dramatic Star made a pleasing start when third behind two potentially useful types over 1m2f at Windsor and the son of Sea The Stars looks to be the main danger to the selection. Inner Peace found only one rival too good over 1m2f at Yarmouth on his debut recently and is another to consider in what should be an informative contest.
Prediction : 1st Padesha 2nd Dramatic Star 3rd Inner Peace

Pink Lily wasn't beaten far into third in a class 6 event at Chelmsford last month and should remain competitive off the same rating, but she could find it tough to deny FOUGERE. Dean Ivory's filly filled the runner-up berth at Leicester on her latest outing and she looks ready to strike for the first time. Clear Storm has to be taken seriously on her handicap bow and will need monitoring in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Fougere 2nd Pink Lily 3rd Clear Storm

Twilight Fun just did enough to record a second career success at Yarmouth last time and it would be no surprise to see him feature off 3lb higher. However, the vote goes to HARRY'S HALO, who has been thereabouts the last twice in this grade, including when third at Haydock latest, and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark alone. Kevin Frost's four-year-old looks the way to go, while Chelmsford winner Agostino also has an obvious chance.
Prediction : 1st Harrys Halo 2nd Twilight Fun 3rd Agostino

Spanish Angel was victorious by just over two lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton recently, but he isn't as effective on turf. With that in mind, SHOWALONG gets the vote. Tim Easterby's six-year-old has taken the silver medal on each of his last two outings and he can make amends in first-time blinkers. Mehmo did it nicely over track and trip last time and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Showalong 2nd Spanish Angel 3rd Mehmo
