UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Now that the penny has dropped for MANY A YEAR after a taking success at Hamilton last time out, there is likely to be more improvement forthcoming from the five-year-old and he can follow up off just 2lb higher. Only once outside the first three in her last four starts, Bama Lama is entitled to be thereabouts along with Diamondsinthesand, who was caught a bit too far back before staying on for second at Ffos Las in August.
Prediction : 1st Many A Year 2nd Bama Lama 3rd Diamondsinthesand

A highly encouraging debut at Windsor when towards the rear for much of the contest, SIXTYGEESBABY did well to run on for fourth late in the piece. Gelded since that effort, he may be able to get off the mark. Dropping back in trip looks like a good move for Arctic Voyage after racing keenly when third on debut at Newbury, while Star Chorus looks to be the pick of the newcomers for leading connections.
Prediction : 1st Sixtygeesbaby 2nd Arctic Voyage 3rd Star Chorus

Runner-up on each of her last four starts, PIQUE' always seems to do her best work late in races and stepping up in trip could be just what is needed for the daughter of Nathaniel. Jack Doughty's 5lb claim is another plus, and it may be that Dancingwithmyself gives her the most to think about, having scored on two of her last three outings. Divine Presence is another with the potential to improve trying 1m6f for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Pique 2nd Dancingwithmyself 3rd Divine Presence

Hot Dancer sets the standard having filled second place on both previous starts, but he could be vulnerable once again. With that in mind, preference is for HOLBORN, who cost 200,000 dollars as a yearling and is from the family of the top-class Minding. Sea Scout and Love Beach are other noteworthy newcomers, while it is far too soon to be writing off Royal Officer.
Prediction : 1st Holborn 2nd Hot Dancer 3rd Sea Scout

Lazieelunch has to be of interest having won his last three starts but a 5lb rise for the most recent of those wins is a concern. As a result, the vote goes to GENTLE WARRIOR, who put in a career best when second on his nursery debut at Redcar last month and may improve again for this further step up in trip. Chelsea Embankment edges out Manila Thriller to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Gentle Warrior 2nd Lazieelunch 3rd Chelsea Embankment

Having found only a progressive rival too strong at Newmarket last month, compensation could be on the cards for PRESSURE'S ON. Ed Dunlop's three-year-old makes plenty of appeal racing off an unchanged mark and he edges the verdict over C&D winner Ardbraccan. The daughter of Lawman arrives on the back of some creditable efforts in defeat and another good account is forecast. Handicap debutant Native Souvenir is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Pressures On 2nd Ardbraccan 3rd Native Souvenir

Having justified favouritism at Sandown last month, Tipsy Tiger must enter calculations racing off just 3lb higher in the ratings. The Postponed gelding isn't taken lightly, but BILLIEGEE may be worth chancing dropping in distance. The James Ferguson-trained filly appeared to find 1m4f on softer ground stretching her stamina when weakening into sixth at Newbury 19 days ago and she is fancied to resume her progress. Amancio completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Billiegee 2nd Tipsy Tiger 3rd Amancio
