UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

QUISANA sets the standard according to official ratings and could be tough to deal with if taking another step forward. The daughter of Ghaiyyath had other options this week and the hint is taken that connections assume this is the most suitable route for her to break her maiden. Moonlit Surf, Yimmna and Aura Champagne are potential improvers to monitor closely in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Quisana 2nd Moonlit Surf 3rd Yimmna

Blue Sign was thought good enough to be pitched into the Albany at Royal Ascot and then a deeper maiden at Newmarket last time out. Although outclassed in those events, this is an easier assignment and she sets the benchmark from those with experience. However, PIPER CEE and Lady Leora are notable debutants that capture the imagination with more appeal. As a half-sister to a Grade 3-winning sprinter, the former edges preference over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Piper Cee 2nd Lady Leora 3rd Blue Sign

Dissenter, Fern Clyde and Boleto command respect as the only previous winners and each of them merit close inspection in the betting. However, STAR PEOPLE made a dual Group 2 entrant pull out all the stops to land a match race at Ayr last month and a mark of 71 could underestimate this son of Sioux Nation on his nursery debut.
Prediction : 1st Star People 2nd Dissenter 3rd Fern Clyde

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this could prove a suitable opportunity for INVINCIBLE CROWN to secure a fifth career victory. The four-year-old is only 3lb higher than his Musselburgh triumph at the end of June and edges the vote over Hurt You Never. Adrian Nicholls' mare has tumbled down the ratings and may prove dangerous fitted in first-time blinkers. Stable debutant Little Jaybee is worth a market check too.
Prediction : 1st Invincible Crown 2nd Hurt You Never 3rd Little Jaybee

Del Corso made the most of a small-field affair with an all-the-way victory over C&D and he's sure to prove a warm order to follow up. However, he's effectively racing off 6lb more with Kieran Shoemark replacing an apprentice, which could leave the door open for DAWN OF LIBERATION. Ruth Carr's gelding arrives on the back of a creditable third at Beverley and a 1lb drop in the ratings can only help. Sedeirah can also make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Dawn Of Liberation 2nd Del Corso 3rd Sedeirah

Being slowly away has been a common feature for the in-form Theme Park this season and he may have to play second fiddle once more, with the unexposed VENETIAN LION fancied to capitalise. William Haggas' three-year-old finished with a rattle on his second-placed handicap bow at Southwell recently and, off an unchanged mark, he looks a winner in waiting. Symphony Of Joy is heading in the right direction and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Venetian Lion 2nd Theme Park 3rd Symphony Of Joy
