UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Yafaarr remains a maiden after three starts and has his first run in a handicap after a gelding operation. Captain Cess was beaten less than a length when third at Bath and has also been gelded since and could go close, but FRENCH HAVEN is preferred. She got off the mark at Newmarket recently and an added 2lb may not stop her from following up.
Prediction : 1st French Haven 2nd Captain Cess 3rd Yafaarr

Glitter Code has some fair placed form, including a second over a mile at Yarmouth last month, but 10 starts without a win is a concern. Westgate Warrior is interesting stepping up in trip for his handicap debut, after a three-length fifth at Southwell over 5f, but ADVERSARY tops the shortlist. A short-head second in April, the Pinatubo gelding steps up in trip in first-time blinkers and he could come home in front.
Prediction : 1st Adversary 2nd Westgate Warrior 3rd Glitter Code

With very little form to work with, the Redcar third WITHOUT BURLINGTON could be the one. A drop back in trip may see him in a better light with his first run in four months under his belt. Newcomer Forever Penywern is one to note for the William Haggas and Cieran Fallon team, alongside Dabhand, who is a half-brother to numerous winners around the world.
Prediction : 1st Without Burlington 2nd Forever Penywern 3rd Dabhand

CHARLIE BOYO failed to justify favouritism but still shaped with bundles of promise when only beaten a neck into second on his debut at Salisbury. Clive Cox's youngster might only need to find minimal improvement in order to get off the mark. Capitalization changed hands for 260,000 pounds in April and with the Hamad Al Jehani yard in good nick, he has to be respected. Any market confidence behind Rogue Supremacy would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Charlie Boyo 2nd Capitalization 3rd Rogue Supremacy

ELEGANT ERIN accounted for Nad Alshiba Green (third) by a neck when she filled the runner-up spot over track and trip last time and that might be the key piece of form to focus on. The eight-year-old can confirm her authority to regain the winning thread. Nightbird was far from disgraced in third at Yarmouth on her most recent start, while Tiva is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Erin 2nd Nightbird 3rd Tiva

BULLDOG SPIRIT struck in ready fashion over track and trip on his latest outing and is just 5lb higher. Brian Ellison's five-year-old remains on a workable mark and can complete a double. The Crafty Mole showed a lot more when second at Haydock last time and should remain competitive, despite his 2lb higher rating. Rock N Roll Pinkie is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bulldog Spirit 2nd The Crafty Mole 3rd Rock N Roll Pinkie

Having followed up her maiden triumph by completing a double on her handicap bow at Yarmouth last month, there should be more to come from JOWDDAH. A 3lb rise in the ratings looks workable for Roger Varian's filly and she edges the vote over Yokkell. The latter made a winning stable bow over C&D in April and another bold bid is forecast. Treasure is also of interest, although this drop in distance may work against her.
Prediction : 1st Jowddah 2nd Yokkell 3rd Treasure

A return to a mile worked a treat for PHONE TAG when landing the spoils at Pontefract in April. The form of that race has worked out reasonably well and the four-year-old may be able to defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Sustained arrives on the back of a solid second at Wolverhampton and, off an unchanged mark, he's feared most on this switch to turf. Last-time-out winners Diddy Man and Rising Force are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Phone Tag 2nd Sustained 3rd Diddy Man
