UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

DREAMLOVER was a beaten-favourite when fourth on his racecourse bow at Southwell but a subsequent gelding operation could very easily make the difference in a contest where those with form don't set a particularly high standard. Moriarty Moon should find this assignment easier than his first two starts at Goodwood and Chester, while Blondie Larry appeals most of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Dreamlover 2nd Moriarty Moon 3rd Blondie Larry

Decade Of Time made a very encouraging start in a big-field maiden at Newbury before getting off the mark at the second time of asking at Windsor. Jack Channon's colt is likely to have more to offer, but the combination of a 7lb penalty and the fillies' allowance may give FRACTIONAL the edge. Having shown promise on both juvenile outings, she was pitched into a Listed contest at Newbury where she hung left up the home straight. However, the application of both cheekpieces and a hood are likely to aid with her concentration and she is worth chancing down in class. Odogwu and Prince Of Calypso both showed promise on their sole outings and are open to progression.
Prediction : 1st Fractional 2nd Decade Of Time 3rd Odogwu

WONDROUS LIGHT has stepped forward considerably as a four-year-old, winning two of her three starts, and the manner of her latest success over C&D suggests a 7lb rise might not be enough to stop her from going in again. Return To Unit is entitled to improve upon his Ayr reappearance effort with first-time blinkers applied, while others to note include Swift Salian and Miletus.
Prediction : 1st Wondrous Light 2nd Return To Unit 3rd Swift Salian

Although a disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton, CARAWAY put that effort firmly behind her to score over 1m4f at Thirsk next time. This extra test of stamina may well elicit further improvement and she's taken to defy a 5lb rise with William Haggas' yard in flying form. Sir Griflet has to be of interest back on the grass and is preferred to Lingfield winner Song Of The Stars.
Prediction : 1st Caraway 2nd Sir Griflet 3rd Song Of The Stars

Albegone failed to trouble the winner when second at Musselburgh. Nonetheless, that was a improved effort from him and he could be thereabouts at the finish once again. High Opinion is no forlorn hope off his current mark, but TOPTIME makes the most appeal. Roy Bowring's charge finished a close third at Thirsk on last week's belated seasonal debut, and has solid claims from only 2lb higher than when successful over C&D last August.
Prediction : 1st Toptime 2nd Albegone 3rd High Opinion

SOUTH SHORE ISLAND placed in a handicap at Wetherby on his seasonal reappearance/stable debut one week ago. He holds every chance at this lower level, especially with Cieren Fallon in the plate once again, and could be the one to side with. Spirited Dancer found only one too good in a similar contest at Bath and another big run looks likely, while last year's runner-up Timebar could also prove competitive.
Prediction : 1st South Shore Island 2nd Spirited Dancer 3rd Timebar
