UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Nahi, Art Market and Mission Command all make some appeal ahead of their respective debuts, but experience counts for plenty and it is KING OF LIGHT who shades preference. Having shaped with promise on his debut at Windsor in April, the Mehmas colt took a step forward when finishing third at York last month. That effort sets the form standard and any further improvement will make him tough to beat.
Prediction : 1st King Of Light 2nd Nahi 3rd Art Market

Get Jiggy With It continues to knock on the door and she would be a deserved winner, while Keady Town, who will appreciate an ease in class, is another who looks set to go well. However, a chance can be taken on FINE GOLD. Tom Clover's gelding shaped with more promise than the finishing position suggests over 6f here on debut last month, after losing many lengths leaving the stalls. He'll be more streetwise this time and is taken to strike going up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Fine Gold 2nd Get Jiggy With It 3rd Keady Town

HELLO COTAI was caught further back than ideal at Haydock nine days ago, so it was to his credit that he plugged on for fourth. Should he break on terms this time, Adam West's charge appears to hold solid claims now eased in class off an unchanged mark. Evelyn's Phoenix surprised a few when winning at odds of 28/1 over 7f at Redcar last time out and he makes obvious appeal upped in trip. Handicap debutant Tribal Chief is worth a market check too.
Prediction : 1st Hello Cotai 2nd Evelyns Phoenix 3rd Tribal Chief

Inspired Knowhow showed a likeable attitude when getting up in the shadows of the post over 5f at Windsor last time and this in-form gelding is likely to offer another bold bid, but he may struggle to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Therefore, PHOENIX STAR, who finished a little over two lengths behind Marco Botti's charge on that occasion, can reverse the form on these revised terms, while High Opinion should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Star 2nd Inspired Knowhow 3rd High Opinion

A host of in-form rivals line up for this contest, with a tentative nod in the direction of MARBUZET, who was unlucky to be touched off over 2m at Catterick last time. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised just 1lb for for that neck defeat, which may not be enough to stop him from getting back to winning ways. Swinging London shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when beaten just half a length over 1m4f at Pontefract, while Corsican Caper should also be in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st Marbuzet 2nd Swinging London 3rd Corsican Caper

Having been raised 12lb in the ratings after his hat-trick of wins this term, the progressive GREAT BLASKET can continue his winning thread. Gina Mangan's claim can help to negate the latest 3lb rise after his short-head success over 1m at Newmarket last month. First Officer should also be on the scene with a drop in trip likely to suit, while Aerion Power finished fourth in last year's Royal Hunt Cup off the same mark and he is also worthy of respect.
Prediction : 1st Great Blasket 2nd First Officer 3rd Aerion Power

ARDBRACCAN won over C&D in April and was unlucky when third here over further last month following the combination of a slow start along with the lack of a clear run when required. She is likely to be coming with a late charge and may overhaul recent winner Coolree if the race falls her way. Amy Murphy's gelding looks all set for another big run off 3lb higher, leaving The Spotlight Kid to follow them home in third.
Prediction : 1st Ardbraccan 2nd Coolree 3rd The Spotlight Kid

Soi Dao won a Class Six here over C&D last month and has to be considered, but she is up against slightly better opposition here and races off 3lb higher which may stop her doubling up. James Fanshawe has his string running to form suggesting Brighton fourth Bernadine could also go well, but WAR CHANT could have the edge. Third and beaten less than a length on his first start since last September, any improvement could see him winning for the fifth time.
Prediction : 1st War Chant 2nd Soi Dao 3rd Bernadine
