UK Horse Racing Tips: Nottingham

DOWMAN has been knocking on the door with placed efforts at Bath and Southwell and the return to 5f may help George Boughey's gelding get back to winning ways. Wolf's Gallop took a step back in the right direction when runner-up at Ffos Las and the application of cheekpieces for the first time might aid his cause. Chief Minister also makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dowman 2nd Wolfs Gallop 3rd Chief Minister

Level Up ran with plenty of credit when third at Bath on his latest effort and a repeat of that display would see him enter the reckoning, while similar comments apply to Alnofoor after his fourth at Navan last week. That being said, RAMBUSO CREEK has every chance of returning to form, with the seven-year-old having won over C&D the time before last.
Prediction : 1st Rambuso Creek 2nd Level Up 3rd Alnofoor

Space Bob shaped with considerable promise when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago, finishing ahead of FULCRUM (fourth), but it wouldn't be a surprise if the latter reversed the form. The Gosdens' colt was denied a clear run and that experience is unlikely to be lost on him. Silent Force was turned over at Ffos Las on his second start, but it is too soon to be writing off Andrew Balding's charge.
Prediction : 1st Fulcrum 2nd Space Bob 3rd Silent Force

Centigrade relished a drop in grade when proving too strong for Checkandchallenge in testing conditions at Haydock and that performance suggested he is worth another chance at Listed level. Ebt's Guard produced yet another fine effort in defeat when third in the Balmoral on Champions Day and bids to go one better than 12 months ago, but preference is for WISE PRINCE. Gelded since a wayward effort in the Britannia at Royal Ascot, there is clearly plenty of ability there and softer ground conditions may further aid his cause.
Prediction : 1st Wise Prince 2nd Centigrade 3rd Ebts Guard

Comrade Alexi took a step forward when fourth at Leicester, but it's hard to ignore the form of STAR ROSE. Ralph Beckett's Camelot filly is from a top German family and her Salisbury third was given a massive boost when the winner chased Giant Sequoia home in the Futurity Trophy last weekend. Flash Of Colour, a daughter of Dubawi, is bred to stay and Lady Bb should also come into her own over middle-distances next season. The same can be said for the selection's stablemate High Society.
Prediction : 1st Star Rose 2nd Flash Of Colour 3rd Comrade Alexi

MAXIDENT was just outstayed over a marathon trip in stamina-sapping conditions at Pontefract last week, but he beat the winner over 2m at Goodwood the time before and was also successful on his last attempt at this trip. He will be tough to peg back in suitable conditions, although Gaspacho also likes to get her toe in and proved she stays this far when third at York. Heroics has paid his way this campaign and won't go down without a fight, with Just An Hour and Outback Legend others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Maxident 2nd Gaspacho 3rd Heroics

WELLWHATSHAPPENIN gained compensation for a Ffos Las near-miss when successful under Louise Chance at the same track six days later and conditions will hold no fears for him. The Redcar going was better when Sweet Kiss justified favouritism recently, although her previous Ayr third showed she can go through the mud. Throw Artavian and Rogers Dream into the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Wellwhatshappenin 2nd Sweet Kiss 3rd Artavian
