UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

SIDE DEAL displayed plenty of promise when runner-up on his racecourse bow at York and the winner of that contest was second in Listed company last week. With that in mind, he could prove hard to beat with the benefit of the experience under his belt. High Approval cost 400,000 euros at a breeze-up sale last month so has to be noted on his debut. Reciprocated is another expensive purchase who merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Side Deal 2nd High Approval 3rd Reciprocated

ZELAINA's price increased from 82,000 pounds as a yearling to 650,000 pounds at a breeze-up sale in April. The daughter of Mehmas is a half-sister to the Group 2-placed juvenile Arctician and it would be no surprise to see her play a leading role. Secret Oath is out of a mare who was a short-head second in the Albany and she cost Godolphin 550,000 euros. Novelette and Sakura Spirit are just two other noteworthy newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Zelaina 2nd Secret Oath 3rd Novelette

MONSIEUR PATAT appeared to have plenty in hand when winning at Windsor last week and the eight-year-old could prove hard to beat once again, despite a 4lb penalty. Thunderous Love failed to fire when seeking a hat-trick at Salisbury, but should not be written off in a race of this nature. The rest all have questions to answer, but Waistcoat is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Monsieur Patat 2nd Thunderous Love 3rd Waistcoat

BINTSHUAA showed a lot more when making the frame on her handicap debut at Kempton and could have plenty of improvement in her. The daughter of Kodiac makes only her second start for the David Menuisier yard and she looks the way to go. Dream Illusion got off the mark at Wolverhampton and attempts to transfer that form to turf. Soul Dance warrants a market check on her first start in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Bintshuaa 2nd Dream Illusion 3rd Soul Dance

BOYFRIEND attempted to make every yard of the running when just going down by a head at Newbury and that might prove to be the strongest piece of form on offer. Richard Hannon's colt should have more to come and can gain his second career triumph. Thyer sported first-time cheekpieces when taking the silver medal home over C&D and has to be respected, despite being 2lb higher. Madame De Sevigne looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Boyfriend 2nd Thyer 3rd Madame De Sevigne

Runner-up on each of his three starts as a two-year-old, RIDE THE THUNDER looks just the type to improve for going up in distance and he can break the maiden on his comeback. Placed over further when last seen at Southwell in November, Padesha is of interest on his return, while newcomer Mukhtalif must be monitored for market support as a well-bred son of Sea The Stars.
Prediction : 1st Ride The Thunder 2nd Padesha 3rd Mukhtalif

Back to form with a comfortable success at Beverley in what was only his third go at this sort of distance, DAWN OF LIBERATION is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming off 4lb higher. Beach Point has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his second over C&D in April, while Milteye has the potential to improve for going up in trip as he makes his third start for the Harriet Bethell team.
Prediction : 1st Dawn Of Liberation 2nd Beach Point 3rd Milteye
