UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

A maiden that has been won by Eldar Eldarov and King Of Steel in recent years, so it's definitely worth watching back with a view to 2025 and beyond. ARCHIVIST has chased home a couple of exciting colts on his last two starts and was ahead of Lunar Orbit when second to Saturday's Zetland Stakes winner Starzintheireyes at Leicester. The 600,000gns son of Dubawi sets a fair standard, although New York Minute offered encouragement on his Doncaster introduction and should step forward. Smoken and Displaying made six-figure sums as yearlings and have to be watched closely on debut.
Prediction : 1st Archivist 2nd New York Minute 3rd Smoken

MISS WONG attracted some market support ahead of her Haydock debut and although she ultimately had to settle for third, she was only beaten a length behind smart prospects with previous experience. With the run expected to bring her forward, she edges the vote over fellow Study Of Man filly Revoir, who is a half-sister to the stable's Coronation Stakes runner-up Remarquee. Magic Runner is another debutant to note.
Prediction : 1st Miss Wong 2nd Revoir 3rd Magic Runner

A busy first campaign is showing no sign of taking a toll on Law Degree judging by his Ripon triumph, while Summer Of Light is edging closer to the winner's enclosure. They come up against some interesting newcomers to the nursery ranks, though, not least ORCHARD, who has progressed with racing and an initial mark of 69 appears workable. Romantic Spirit, Bright Lily, Commander Flavius and Knights Gold fall into the same bracket.
Prediction : 1st Orchard 2nd Romantic Spirit 3rd Law Degree

A drop in class will come as a welcome relief to top-weight Aerion Power, whose latest Doncaster third suggests he ought to be more than competitive from an unaltered rating. The son of Kingman does have a bit to prove on forecast soft ground, however, and mudlark LAAFI could provide some value. William Haggas' charge wasn't disgraced when returning from a break at Newbury last month and that form has worked out well. Loyal Touch was nudged up 4lb for his recent Pontefract triumph, but these are his ideal conditions and he is expected to go well again.
Prediction : 1st Laafi 2nd Aerion Power 3rd Loyal Touch

Havana Gila (third) finished ahead of Pont Neuf (fifth) and Jm Jhingree (seventh) at Chester last month, and there are no obvious reasons to suggest the form will be reversed. That said, preference is for I NEED YOUR LOVE, who seemed to handle cut in the ground at Carlisle before recording a narrow success at Redcar three weeks ago. Raised 3lb in the ratings, the son of Zoustar may well be up to the task. Lovat Scout is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st I Need Your Love 2nd Havana Gila 3rd Lovat Scout

Hiya Maite and Stash The Cash are pacey types capable of setting a searching gallop on the forecast going and have plenty to recommend them. However, a strong tempo could set things up nicely for FANTASY MASTER, who is a dual C&D winner and must hold every chance of further success from the same mark as when a respectable fourth at Ascot most recently, and just 5lb higher than for last month's win at Doncaster. Navello completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Fantasy Master 2nd Hiya Maite 3rd Stash The Cash

Mehmo encountered similar conditions when he landed an apprentices' race over C&D on his penultimate start and is a key player fresh from a break. So Grateful and previous course winner Enderman can also get competitive on these terms, but recent form suggests MARCHING MAC is thriving on being kept busy. Off just 2lb higher than for his facile Brighton success, he can strike again back on turf after a near-miss from this rating at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Marching Mac 2nd Mehmo 3rd So Grateful
