UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Now that the penny has finally dropped for GYPSY NATION, after a taking success over C&D last time out from a subsequent winner, Mick Appleby's charge could have more to come off 7lb higher. A winner over C&D on her penultimate outing before a respectable effort over 6f last time out, Snow Berry is a contender, along with Lunar Force, who was demoted from first to second after causing interference over 6f here last week.
Prediction : 1st Gypsy Nation 2nd Snow Berry 3rd Lunar Force

A gelding operation seemed to work wonders for AKABUSI when scoring over C&D on his nursery debut last month, and a 3lb rise for that success may not be enough to prevent him from landing a double. A comfortable winner at Pontefract most recently, Sparkling Pink also looks primed to have a big say off 4lb higher. Mare Of London, who wasn't beaten far in second at Leicester last time out, is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Akabusi 2nd Sparkling Pink 3rd Mare Of London

A desperately unlucky fifth when not getting a clear run on two separate occasions at Windsor last month, AR DIDDY DUM DUM showed she has plenty of ability and this could represent a perfect opportunity to get off the mark. That may be at the main expense of Piazza, who has been green on both starts and may be ready for a career-best display with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle. Moira Express and Sara Moon cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Ar Diddy Dum Dum 2nd Piazza 3rd Moira Express

Already a C&D winner this year, the in-form Triple Force finished second at Redcar most recently. However, there could be plenty more improvement to come from NIGHTSINWHITESATIN, who fared well again stiffer opposition on her handicap debut at Doncaster last month. From a potentially lenient mark, the daughter of Dark Angel can take a big step froward here. Roman Secret is another solid option.
Prediction : 1st Nightsinwhitesatin 2nd Triple Force 3rd Roman Secret

As the only one currently qualified for a mark, Invisible is the obvious starting point. Having finished in the money in four of her five previous starts, there is plenty to like about her chances. However, DAY OF GRACE showed promise twice at Kempton in May and is a more appealing contender, resuming in a winnable race such as this. Great Mates and Song N Dance are other likely improvers to consider.
Prediction : 1st Day Of Grace 2nd Invisible 3rd Great Mates

RAVISHING BEAUTY posted a personal best with a ready success at Pontefract last month and could be leniently assessed off 7lb higher. Admittedly, this is a deeper race and the likes of Optimatum and Tex can ensure that she faces stiff competition. It would also be dangerous to underestimate Between Me And U, who is 2lb well-in after his recent second-placed finish over C&D.
Prediction : 1st Ravishing Beauty 2nd Optimatum 3rd Tex
