UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

Time For The Moon has come up short in a couple of Listed contests, including the Chesham, since bolting up at Musselburgh in June and only faces the one rival on his nursery debut. APULIA BAY is expected to get the better of him, though, because he kept on really strongly to finish a narrow second at Beverley and can find further progress now upped in trip.
Prediction : 1st Apulia Bay 2nd Time For The Moon 3rd null

A case can be made for any of the three, but punters should keep the faith with BLESSED VOYAGER. Ralph Beckett's gelding found one too strong under the winner's penalty at Thirsk but he already holds a lofty rating of 89, which looks a tall order for Jeyoush on his racecourse bow. Baddaddan made a pleasing start at Newbury and is expected to be the main threat.
Prediction : 1st Blessed Voyager 2nd Baddaddan 3rd Jeyoush

FREE WORLD was mightily impressive when attempting 2m for the first time at Catterick and with the likelihood of more to come, Ian Williams' gelding is fancied to shoulder a penalty en route to further success. Hope Rising is better known for her hurdling exploits but she gained a maiden win on the level over an extended 1m3f at Lingfield and must be taken seriously. Joanna Hiffernan is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Free World 2nd Hope Rising 3rd Joanna Hiffernan

Beauty Generation and Midnight Media both recorded wins last month and will rightfully prove popular, but it might be worth taking a chance on DIANE CHASSERESSE. Owen Burrows' filly failed to make an impact in novice/maiden company, but she's a half-sister to the same connections smart stayer Alfred Boucher and improvement is expected now that she is afforded a step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Diane Chasseresse 2nd Beauty Generation 3rd Midnight Media

MOULIN BOOJ has been working his way back into form of late and he bumped into a well-handicapped rival when second at Thirsk. The son of Sioux Nation is competitively treated himself and the notable booking of Tom Marquand suggests that this could be his day. Grandlad made all to score over C&D in April and he's back on that same mark having posted a couple of below-par runs elsewhere, whilst it wouldn't come as a surprise to see a better performance from Forager, who struggled on her seasonal return at Goodwood.
Prediction : 1st Moulin Booj 2nd Grandlad 3rd Forager

Two of Thunderous Love's six career wins have come over C&D and she looks to hold strong claims, having gone close at Salisbury, but perhaps they aren't as strong as Epsom winner SUGAR SUGAR. Jack Channon's three-year-old was making her handicap debut on that occasion and a subsequent 2lb rise is unlikely to halt further progress. Melissa Honey can chase the pair home.
Prediction : 1st Sugar Sugar 2nd Thunderous Love 3rd Melissa Honey
