UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Fly Liberty Fly made an encouraging beginning to his career when third at Redcar, and the winner did the form no harm when running with credit in a good race at Beverley last weekend. Mehmasself And I and Dr T H G should step forward from their introductions, but AOMORI CITY leaps off the page as a 260,000-euro Godolphin newcomer. He is an Oasis Dream half-brother to a decent sort in France and Charlie Appleby will have him well prepared for his first taste of competitive action.
Prediction : 1st Aomori City 2nd Fly Liberty Fly 3rd Mehmasself And I

Washeek had the unenviable task of chasing home the classy God's Window in a three-runner affair here, although the winner has hardly franked the form in a couple of Derby trials and the Classic itself. Karl Burke's gelding only beat a 40/1 newcomer by a couple of lengths so a better option looks to be INDEMNITY, who has held his own in a couple of competitive handicaps and can show his appreciation for the return to maiden company. Devious Devan's C&D third was a step in the right direction, and Ajdayet's Doncaster debut wasn't without promise. Ina Mina is worth a look in the market.
Prediction : 1st Indemnity 2nd Washeek 3rd Ajdayet

Post Rider made all to break through at Brighton, although she may not be allowed her own way this time and it could pay to side with one of the slightly less exposed handicap newcomers. INTERTWINED fits that bill and if she turns up in the form that carried her into third on her Newbury debut, rather than her two subsequent efforts, a mark of 66 could be lenient. Better is anticipated from Marianglas and Yellow Lemons, while Delicacy, Little Heron and Notre Dame have to enter the equation too.
Prediction : 1st Intertwined 2nd Marianglas 3rd Post Rider

GREAT BLASKET only just failed to complete the four-timer over C&D and, with Hollie Doyle back in the plate, he could be worth sticking with. The Gregorian gelding is due to go up 1lb in the near future, and Doyle gave him a lovely, patient ride when successful at Newmarket two starts ago. Yorkshire looks to have improved from three to four, judged on his win and placed efforts at Thirsk and Doncaster respectively, and he is the obvious danger. The rest arrive with something to prove, but Benacre could pinch third.
Prediction : 1st Great Blasket 2nd Yorkshire 3rd Benacre

RHYTHMIC ACCLAIM has impressively rattled off a hat-trick and it looks a shrewd move to bounce her out quickly before a further 5lb rise comes into play. She produced a career-best performance at Goodwood and the feeling is that there is plenty more to come. Crafty Spirit justified favouritism when successful on his handicap debut at Kempton and he should remain competitive off a 3lb higher mark, while Em Jay Kay and Enderman are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Rhythmic Acclaim 2nd Crafty Spirit 3rd Em Jay Kay

TOPTIME ran right up to his best when scoring over 6f at Doncaster last time and, with dropping back in trip unlikely to cause any problems (won over 5f at Southwell in January), he gets the vote to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. Recent Leicester scorer Mrs Trump would probably want some rain to be seen at her best, but she is 3lb well-in and should give the follow-up bid a good go. Rogue De Vega and Enchanted Night are also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Toptime 2nd Mrs Trump 3rd Rogue De Vega

Difficult to be too confident about any of these, but COPPER MOUNTAIN has been knocking on the door on the all-weather and gets in here off a handy weight. The turf is no worry with her and she receives a tentative vote in a tricky handicap. Wallaroo remains a maiden on the grass but warrants respect following a solid runner-up effort at Wolverhampton, while Stintino Sunset makes up the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Copper Mountain 2nd Wallaroo 3rd Stintino Sunset
