UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

IT'S TIM has gone from strength to strength since being stepped up in trip, making it four in a row with an 11-length stroll at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, and a 5lb penalty seems unlikely to stop him adding to that tally. Corsican Caper is on a fair mark and is more than capable of being involved should things fall right for him, while returning to further could benefit Bulldog Spirit, who was far from disgraced at Lingfield recently.
Prediction : 1st Its Tim 2nd Corsican Caper 3rd Bulldog Spirit

One For Harvey drops in class after finishing fifth at Kempton and can go well if she bounces back to the level of her previous Chelmsford second. Giving weight to HIDDEN VERSE may prove a huge ask, though, after the Dark Angel gelding showed improvement to get off the mark by over three lengths at Bath. His 6lb penalty is more than balanced out by Jack Callan's claim and he may also have more improvement to come. Dreambird Dolly and Monticristo Boy could fight it out for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Hidden Verse 2nd One For Harvey 3rd Dreambird Dolly

Wolverhampton maiden winner Miss Funky Monk is improving and a mark of 77 for her handicap debut may underestimate her ability after just the three starts. NAD ALSHIBA GREEN has won two of her nine races and returned with a solid second at Thirsk, running on well after being short of room at a crucial stage. She drops a class and may take advantage with a clear run. Military Girl is another to consider after her Catterick victory, but does need a step forward off 4lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Nad Alshiba Green 2nd Miss Funky Monk 3rd Military Girl

SHAMROCK BAY supplemented his debut triumph at Yarmouth with a success over C&D last summer and has since been gelded. The son of Cable Bay could have lots more to offer on his handicap debut and will prove tough to beat. Indalo failed to remain unbeaten when only managing third at Newcastle in February, but still has to be taken seriously on only his second handicap outing. Signcastle City is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Shamrock Bay 2nd Indalo 3rd Signcastle City

TRIPLE DOUBLE A has been a different proposition since competing in handicaps and is unbeaten in three outings. His victory at Windsor on Monday suggests his winning streak may not come to an end just yet and Hugo Palmer's gelding can complete the four-timer. Harswell Ruby struck at Doncaster last month and is likely to be thereabouts off just 3lb higher. Of the remainder, last-time-out Bath scorer Thiscouldbefun makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Triple Double A 2nd Harswell Ruby 3rd Thiscouldbefun

SOUTH PARADE was only denied by a neck into second on her seasonal reappearance over this trip at Beverley last month and Richard Fahey's filly is clearly the one to beat on that evidence. Nazron bounced back to form when third at Wolverhampton and could make the frame once again, while Haymaker and Rocking Ends should not be underestimated on their returns.
Prediction : 1st South Parade 2nd Nazron 3rd Haymaker

LORD ABAMA filled second place at Thirsk last time and, off the same mark, it would be no surprise to see the six-year-old go one better here. Emperor Caradoc was only beaten a couple of lengths on his seasonal return at Pontefract recently and is entitled to improve for that outing. Rokuni edges out Dutch Finale to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Lord Abama 2nd Emperor Caradoc 3rd Rokuni
