UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

ZIGGY STARSHINE made a winning start to her career at Bath before filling the runner-up spot on both subsequent outings. The manner of her latest effort at Wetherby suggested the step up to 6f would aid her cause and she can prove too strong for the opposition. Innichen got off the mark at the third time of asking at Pontefract and enters the reckoning, along with Yahaira and Koodini.
Prediction : 1st Ziggy Starshine 2nd Innichen 3rd Yahaira

Chiwara shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up on her first start at Ripon and this track may well be in her favour. That said, a chance is taken with GREY TAMAM, who was purchased for 140,000 euros at the Tattersalls Ireland Breeze-Up sale in May and is out of a Listed-placed mare who scored here on her debut. Bearly Blue and Ash Tree head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Grey Tamam 2nd Chiwara 3rd Bearly Blue

Undercover Affair has held his form well and a first-time visor might bring about further improvement on his nursery debut. However, he may be vulnerable to less-exposed rivals and SEED YA LATER fits that bill. A winner on her second start at Musselburgh, Jack Channon's filly can take advantage of a small break after finishing third at Bath in May. Past Passion and Havana Gift appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Seed Ya Later 2nd Undercover Affair 3rd Past Passion

LIVEINTHELIGHT made a very pleasing handicap debut when she was a game winner at Ffos Las 15 days ago. Assuming the daughter of Teofilo handles the faster ground, a 3lb higher mark might not prevent her from following up here. Al Maslool posted a personal best on his most recent start and rates a player with improvement likely. Ceinture D'orion and Red Rifle are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Liveinthelight 2nd Al Maslool 3rd Ceinture Dorion

Mereside Princess went agonisingly close to completing a hat-trick at Musselburgh 10 days ago and is dangerous to rule out, especially being 5lb well-in after a nose defeat. However, THORNABY ANNIE could be the way to go. Having improved to get off the mark over a mile at Wetherby, the Adrian Nicholls-trained filly appears likely to have more to offer. Empirical and Storm Esme are others with place claims.
Prediction : 1st Thornaby Annie 2nd Mereside Princess 3rd Empirical

WADACRE GEISHA looks worth a try back on a flatter course after finding the uphill finish at Beverley problematic on her last three starts. That said, she hasn't done much wrong and can be given another chance off joint-bottom weight. Mohmentous has held his form well and is also suggested as a key player, while Phantom Shadow and Talking In Kode don't have much to find to be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Wadacre Geisha 2nd Mohmentous 3rd Phantom Shadow

Running off 2lb below his last winning mark, SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE is weighted to give another good account back at a course where he has gone well in the past. Winchurch also fits the bill on that criteria and is feared, despite never having won off his current mark. Beaumadier and Miss Brazen are others likely to enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Applause 2nd Winchurch 3rd Beaumadier
