UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Fox Avatar (winner) and Capla Lazarus (second) met at Beverley last month and while the latter could get closer in receipt of 7lb having missed the break that day, slower ground in an unknown. That certainly won't be the case for Love Dynasty, who impressed in the mud at Newmarket last November and must be respected, for all that the layoff is a slight concern. Ripon winner Sir Edward Lear could also go well, but a chance is taken on debutant SUENO. Pedigree suggests the 400,000gns daughter of Camelot should handle conditions and she may well continue her yard's fine run of form.
Prediction : 1st Sueno 2nd Love Dynasty 3rd Fox Avatar

FOUR ADAAY might have been too far back when finishing third at Windsor recently, but that was still a positive effort and she was eased 1lb for her troubles. Rod Millman's mare has less to prove on the ground than many, and that could prove vital as she looks to regain the winning sequence. Faro De San Juan has found some form of late and he is expected to be in the shake-up, while Last Outlaw warrants a market check following a solid handicap debut at Windsor.
Prediction : 1st Four Adaay 2nd Faro De San Juan 3rd Last Outlaw

WORLD OF DARCY shrugged off a double penalty to complete his hat-trick at Brighton last week and although John Ryan's three-year-old is again saddled with a 12lb penalty, he can continue the winning run. Cypriot Diaspora was never really involved at Leicester, but a drop in class ought to aid her chance. Hallowed Time, who should relish testing ground conditions, might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st World Of Darcy 2nd Cypriot Diaspora 3rd Hallowed Time

Alpine Stroll burned the fingers of favourite-backers when turning over an odds-on shot at Yarmouth last week. His penalty means he competes from a mark 1lb higher than his revised rating, though, so preference is for THRILLING DREAM, who has been freshened up since completing a quickfire Leicester brace in the height of summer. His 95-rated half-brother has won on soft, and there is the potential for more improvement now he goes further. Arcon and Hardy Bloke shouldn't be far way, and Expressionless is better than he showed at Redcar.
Prediction : 1st Thrilling Dream 2nd Alpine Stroll 3rd Arcon

Cresta Cat burst back into life to spring a surprise at Brighton last week, a performance attributed to the rain-affected conditions. He could certainly prove it was no fluke but a safer option appears to be KEHLANI, who responded well to blinkers to take third behind a subsequent dual winner at Haydock. Ballsbridge remains a maiden but usually runs his race, while San Francisco Bay took a step back in the right direction when upped to this distance at Bath, finishing a couple of lengths ahead of Fougere.
Prediction : 1st Kehlani 2nd Cresta Cat 3rd San Francisco Bay

TEMPER TRAP has hit a rich vein of form of late and stepping up just beyond a mile may eke out further improvement as he looks to land the hat-trick on the back of comfortable successes over 7f at Leicester and Redcar. A winner of two of her last four starts, Daisy Roots must enter calculations, along with Johnjay and Cuban Fiesta, who has made the frame twice since joining new connections.
Prediction : 1st Temper Trap 2nd Daisy Roots 3rd Cuban Fiesta

A half-brother to Cambridgeshire winner Majestic Dawn, who won on heavy ground, THE BOBSTER may well relish these conditions and he remains just 2lb higher than for his Newcastle success over this distance on his penultimate start. A determined scorer at Chelmsford last time out, First Encounter has had a busy season but is likely to be thereabouts again. The unexposed Sense Of Reason is also respected.
Prediction : 1st The Bobster 2nd First Encounter 3rd Sense Of Reason
