UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

SHOWY put in a much improved display when hitting the frame over C&D last month and she goes off an unchanged mark. The daughter of Golden Horn looks to have lots in her favour and she can get her career up and running. The main threat is Isle of Wolves, who has been unfortunate to fill the runner-up spot on each of his last three outings. Of the remainder, Gert Lush makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Showy 2nd Isle of Wolves 3rd Gert Lush

YES I'M MALI justified his place in the market when he was victorious by half a length on his debut at Wetherby last month, and he is likely to have huge improvement in him after that success. Richard Fahey's juvenile can carry his penalty to victory and remain unbeaten. Artagnan had Art Design a place behind when finishing second on his debut at Ripon before being well beaten in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot, but he can confirm the debut form. Diligently completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Yes Im Mali 2nd Artagnan 3rd Diligently

SPRING IS SPRUNG struck by just under a length at Lingfield on his latest outing and a 4lb rise for that triumph could prove to be on the lenient side. With Dougie Costello taking over in the plate, he can complete the hat-trick. Faustus bounced back to form when accounting for his nearest rival by three-quarters of a length over C&D last month and he could get into contention again, while last-time-out winner Catch Cunningham is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Spring Is Sprung 2nd Faustus 3rd Catch Cunningham

Better was expected of Rayat at Thirsk last time, but having weakened quickly over the mile that day he is worth a second look now eased in trip. Vince Lombardi was narrowly denied at Ffos Las recently and must be respected. Preference, however, is for RAY VONN. The four-year-old is now two from two over C&D following May's narrow success and he could extended that record raised just 3lb. Dark Dreamer is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Ray Vonn 2nd Rayat 3rd Vince Lombardi

Having been narrowly denied at Windsor on his penultimate start, GLOBAL ASSET made no mistake at Newmarket next time. A 7lb rise looks a little harsh but William Haggas has his string in a rich vein of form and it would come as no surprise were he to find enough improvement to strike again. Blessed Boy didn't appear to see out 1m2f at Chelmsford in May but it could be a different story now dropped in trip with blinkers applied for the first time. Bill's Baar is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Global Asset 2nd Blessed Boy 3rd Bills Baar

Now that the penny has dropped for FORTNUM after a relatively comfortable success over C&D last time out, George Boughey's charge is likely to have plenty more to offer off a 5lb higher mark. The three-year-old can uphold form with Emerald City (third), despite being 6lb worse off at the weights for a little over three lengths, while Inappropriate must also enter calculations on the back of a placed effort at Yarmouth in April.
Prediction : 1st Fortnum 2nd Inappropriate 3rd Emerald City

DAARIS may have only one career win to his name, but that came in this contest last year and Kevin Frost's charge enters this year's renewal in consistent form. A respectable third over C&D last time out, the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of the progressive Lincoln Rockstar, who beat a subsequent winner at Beverley last time out and may improve for the step up in trip. The unexposed Yurinov and Kissininthebackrow are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Daaris 2nd Lincoln Rockstar 3rd Yurinov
