UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

With hardly any form to go on, a tentative vote goes to the William Haggas-trained AL WASEELA. The daughter of Siyouni changed hands for 50,000gns and is related to a few Group winners, so she could make an impression on her debut. Renewal also makes plenty of appeal on paper for the in-form Ralph Beckett stable and she will be sure to improve as she steps up in trip, while Hackney Diamonds brings the best known form to the table after her fifth at Windsor.
Prediction : 1st Al Waseela 2nd Renewal 3rd Hackney Diamonds

TEN COMMITMENTS outran his odds when flying home late to finish second on his handicap debut at Salisbury recently. The son of Due Diligence goes off the same mark and he could prove very tough to beat. The main danger might be Persian Blue, who finished fourth in a class 4 event at Kempton last time and may appreciate this return to turf. Of the remainder, Chiedozie makes the most appeal in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Ten Commitments 2nd Persian Blue 3rd Chiedozie

BEAULD AS BRASS finished a close-up third at Lingfield last month and he is only 3lb higher for that effort. Adam West's four-year-old now sports a first-time hood and, with a 5lb claimer in the plate, he could be the one to beat. Angle Land has hit the frame the last twice and she could closer off the same mark as her most recent third at Wetherby, while Dandy Dinmont is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Beauld As Brass 2nd Angle Land 3rd Dandy Dinmont

BLETCHLEY STORM has switched yards since returning an easy winner at Leicester in April. She's been raised 11lb for that but the likely soft ground will suit and another bold bid is expected. Laser Focus just missed out on a hat-trick when beaten a neck at Wetherby and is not out of this, but Chelmsford winner Fillyfudge would have preferred a faster surface. Sisterandbrother won an amateur riders' race at Haydock last time and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bletchley Storm 2nd Laser Focus 3rd Fillyfudge

PATRONAGE won a shade cosily over C&D last month with the reopposing Emerald City back in fourth. A 5lb rise may not be enough to anchor Nigel Tinkler's charge with further progress likely. Serendipitous Lady will relish any cut in the ground and a better effort when fourth at Carlisle latest suggests she can figure, while Standbackandlook finished runner-up at Leicester without troubling the winner and could go well again.
Prediction : 1st Patronage 2nd Serendipitous Lady 3rd Standbackandlook

Mick Appleby has won this three times in the last seven renewals, each time with the favourite, and ANDROMEDAS KINGDOM may add to that tally. Two wins at Bath were followed by a second at the same track last time and, although she needs a career best off this mark to win, she is the in-form option. Astronomica may do better after her first start of the season and will appreciate the return to this grade, with Believe You Me another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Andromedas Kingdom 2nd Astronomica 3rd Believe You Me

Ney was not at his best last time out over further, but won his only previous start over this trip at Catterick and could go well. Douglas Dc is another of interest despite being a maiden on the Flat and he can get involved back up in trip, but YOUNG MERLIN could be the one. He won't mind any cut in the ground and wasn't beaten far off 1lb lower when second at Salisbury last month.
Prediction : 1st Young Merlin 2nd Douglas Dc 3rd Ney
