14:10 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 5f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (1.38/1 +39%) Treasure Storm	1.38 1.38/1(+39%)	(5) Treasure Storm 1.38/1, Foaled January 25. €145,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Offered something to work on when fourth in 8-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) on debut in April, pushed along halfway and keeping on. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that and likely there's better to come. Fair fourth at Musselburgh on debut and this 145,000euros yearling is open to improvement.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.75/1 -7%) Snafiya	1.75 1.75/1(-7%)	(4) Snafiya 1.75/1, Foaled April 12. 80,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Apricot Twist. Dam, 7f-8.3f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 2m Rhombus from family of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Gutaifan, won Flying Childers Stakes/Prix Robert Papin. Noteworthy newcomer. 80,000gns y'ling; half-sister to 6f 2yo winner Apricot Twist (RPR 96); respected on debut.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Defying Orders	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Defying Orders 4/1, Foaled February 12. €48,000 yearling, Soldier's Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Ardenode and 5f-6f winner Dandy Dinmont. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of her on debut. Trainer has made excellent start to season with his 2yos; firmly in calculations on debut.
4	3 4th (3) (10/1 +0%) Mademoisellecancan	10 10/1(+0%)	(3) Mademoisellecancan 10/1, Foaled April 19. Land Force filly. Dam twice-raced half-sister to useful 8.6f winner Crimson China out of 5f-9f winner Parisian Affair. Dam well beaten 9.4f AW both starts; check betting, but others appeal more on paper.

LTO Selection:

14:10 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Based on the summary, the Blue Point filly 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA and the Expert Eye filly 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM seem to be the most promising newcomers, with 1.63/1 (4) SNAFIYA having a half-sister who was a 2-year-old winner and 2.25/1 (5) TREASURE STORM offering potential for improvement after her debut fourth. 3/1 (1) DEFYING ORDERS also has good breeding and could be one to watch on debut, while 9/1 (2) EXPONISTA and 10/1 (3) MADEMOISELLECANCAN have less impressive records so far.

TREASURE STORM showed some promise when filling fourth place on her debut at Musselburgh last month and that experience could prove to be vital here. Snafiya is a half-sister to the useful juvenile Apricot Twist and the 80,000gns purchase has to be of interest on debut. All of the remainder make some appeal but Defying Orders is arguably the pick of them.

The market should prove useful with 4 of the 5 making their debuts but without the benefit of those clues it could be worth siding with SNAFIYA. She makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and the booking of William Buick rates an obvious positive. Treasure Storm, the sole runner with experience, heads the dangers.

Preference is for the newcomer DEFYING ORDERS, whose trainer Archie Watson has made an excellent start with his 2yos.

14:40 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (3.5/1 +22%) Maso Bastie	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(1) Maso Bastie 3.5/1, Built on debut promise to get off the mark despite clearly still needing the experience in 8-runner minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 11/8) in December. Sort to progress again now up in trip. Player. Got up late over 1m at Lingfield last December and open to improvement at this longer trip.
2	5 2nd (5) (1.75/1 -75%) Tempered Soul	1.75 1.75/1(-75%)	(5) Tempered Soul 1.75/1, Massaat colt who came in fourth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 9/4) on debut 48 days ago. Up in trip and can do better. Fourth of 14 on debut and open to improvement on second start; could have a part to play.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) City Cyclone	4 4/1(+20%)	(2) City Cyclone 4/1, Fair maiden who posted a very good third of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) 14 days ago. In the mix. Reappeared with good 3rd at Lingfield a fortnight ago and every chance he'll be in the mix.
4	3 4th (3) (40/1 -82%) Going To The Moon	40 40/1(-82%)	(3) Going To The Moon 40/1, Runner-up in a 1m Nottingham maiden in August but he didn't go on in two subsequent runs, only seventh at Haydock in September. Gelded and up in trip with cheekpieces on for 1st time now. Return to form needed but he's been gelded since last time and showed promise on 2yo debut.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 +64%) Thawg	9 9/1(+64%)	(6) Thawg 9/1, 55,000 gns foal, 28,000 gns yearling, Golden Horn filly. Half-sister to 1m winner Caballero Chopper. Appeals on paper so this newcomer is worth a market check. Makes debut against males but with trainer among the winners; potential in pedigree.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -20%) Calleveryoneuknow	12 12/1(-20%)	(7) Calleveryoneuknow 12/1, Modest form shown both runs thus far, fourth of 11 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 80/1) 139 days ago. Back up in trip with more needed. Kept on for 4th over 1m (AW) last December; could have more to offer now back up in trip.
4	4 \|PU\| (4) (6/1 +14%) Artisand	6 6/1(+14%)	(4) Artisand 6/1, Progressive juvenile maiden who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth in 1m2f Lingfield novice on his return, rushed up after a poor start. Remains with potential. Considered. Disappointing on reappearance in March but he's much better than that & could bounce back.

LTO Selection:

14:40 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty, but Massaat colt and 4.5/1 (1) MASO BASTIE seem to have a good chance based on their past performances and potential for improvement. 5/1 (2) CITY CYCLONE and 7/1 (4) ARTISAND are also considered as contenders. 25/1 (6) THAWG is a newcomer worth keeping an eye on.

Maso Bastie got off the mark over a mile at Lingfield in December and he has to be respected, although the son of Churchill may struggle to give 9lb to TEMPERED SOUL. George Boughey's colt caught the eye on his debut at Kempton in March and is fully entitled to improve significantly for that outing. Others to note are Artisand and City Cyclone.

MASO BASTIE looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to score at Lingfield in December and James Fanshawe's son of Churchill appeals as the sort to go on improving so gets the nod at the chief expense of Artisand, who wasn't seen to best effect when fifth at Lingfield on his return. City Cyclone and Tempered Soul can both have a say too in an open contest.

A chance is taken on GOING TO THE MOON, who showed promise here on his debut and reappears having been gelded.

14:40 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 10f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (12/1 +40%) Maggie's Way	12 12/1(+40%)	(2) Maggie's Way 12/1, Fair form in 3 outings over 7f last autumn. Switches to handicap company on reappearance. James Doyle not a regular booking for the stable. Promise among her three 2yo starts and she's not discounted on handicap/seasonal debut.
2	4 2nd (4) (1.25/1 +64%) Mexicali Rose	1.25 1.25/1(+64%)	(4) Mexicali Rose 1.25/1, At least matched her 2-y-o form when second of 11 in 7f Leicester novice (heavy) on reappearance. Potential improver in handicaps. Runner-up on heavy-ground reappearance and solid claims for in-form yard in first handicap.
3	7 3rd (7) (6/1 +14%) Zarga	6 6/1(+14%)	(7) Zarga 6/1, Showed promise in 3 outings as a juvenile and returns to action with her stable in good form. Interesting runner, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Pretty consistent on her three 2yo runs; in top hands and could have plenty more to offer.
4	14 4th (14) (6/1 +40%) Eurythmical	6 6/1(+40%)	(14) Eurythmical 6/1, Fair maiden who performed with credit when 4¾ lengths third of 9 to the reopposing Molly Valentine on her C&D reappearance 20 days ago. Third to Molly Valentine over C&D three weeks ago and might not be far away.
5th	11 5th (11) (5.5/1 +0%) Creme Chantilly	5.5 5.5/1(+0%)	(11) Creme Chantilly 5.5/1, Confirmed promise of his debut second when seeing off 5 rivals at Chelmsford (1m) last October. Likely capable of better again and big player on handicap debut with William Buick doing the steering. Won last October on second start and pedigree indicates she has potential off opening mark.
6th	10 6th (10) (33/1 -50%) Enola Grey	33 33/1(-50%)	(10) Enola Grey 33/1, Won a small-field 1m Pontefract nursery last autumn. Well-held fourth on Wolverhampton reappearance 4 weeks ago and has a more exposed profile than a lot of these. Solid 2yo campaign in the main but she's failed to fire the last twice; others appeal more.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -14%) Double O	16 16/1(-14%)	(1) Double O 16/1, Won a 6f Pontefract maiden and 7f Southwell handicap for David Loughnane last year. Reappears for a new stable which has made a good start to the season with runners from connections. Two-time winner who returns with new yard in good form and is not ruled out.
8th	9 8th (9) (22/1 -120%) Star Child	22 22/1(-120%)	(9) Star Child 22/1, Showed improved form to make a successful handicap debut at Chelmsford in January. Off for 4 months ahead of this first outing on the grass. Won on h'cap debut in January and pedigree provides optimism she'll continue to progress.
9th	5 9th (5) (22/1 -83%) Nuthatch	22 22/1(-83%)	(5) Nuthatch 22/1, Winner of a 6f Chelmsford novice and 7f Southwell handicap this year, flashing her tail under pressure at the latter track but still picking up to good effect to lead in the closing stages. Tackles 1m and turf for the first time now. 2-4 (all on AW); useful pedigree suggests the switch to turf shouldn't be an issue.
10th	12 10th (12) (16/1 -146%) Flame Of Kodiac	16 16/1(-146%)	(12) Flame Of Kodiac 16/1, Improved to make a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March. Half of her 6 lb rise is offset by Benoit de la Sayette's claim. Could have more to offer for her leading stable. Won on handicap debut in March and could have lots more left in the tank for leading yard.
11th	13 11th (13) (66/1 -100%) Congruent	66 66/1(-100%)	(13) Congruent 66/1, Modest form in her 3 starts to date and her opening handicap mark isn't obviously generous. Below par on soft going on sole turf start but not written off in view of previous promise.

LTO Selection:

15:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based solely on this summary as each horse has its own potential and past performance. However, some horses to consider based on their recent performances and potential include 5.5/1 (11) CREME CHANTILLY, 6.5/1 (12) FLAME OF KODIAC, 7/1 (7) ZARGA, 12/1 (5) NUTHATCH, and 14/1 (1) DOUBLE O. These horses have either won recently or have shown promise in their past performances. It is important to also consider other factors such as the weather and track conditions and the jockey's performance.

In a wide-open event marginal preference is for MEXICALI ROSE, who put in a career-best performance at Leicester last month and an opening mark of 75 may underestimate her ability. Flame Of Kodiac made a winning handicap debut in March and she cannot be discounted. The unexposed Creme Chantilly looks to have a bright future, while Zarga and Star Child also make the shortlist.

MEXICALI ROSE arrives fit from a good reappearance run at Leicester and gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut for Ralph Beckett. Creme Chantilly is another who could have more to offer now switching to handicap company and heads the dangers along with Flame of Kodiac and last-time-out C&D scorer Molly Valentine.

Chelmsford winner CREME CHANTILLY has potential off her opening mark judged on her attractive pedigree.

15:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

15:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3.33/1 +26%) Belhaven	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(4) Belhaven 3.33/1, Three wins from 6 runs last year, getting back on the up when successful in 12-runner handicap at Redcar (8f) on final start of campaign. Should be straighter for recent return at same course but others more appealing. Three wins last year and couldn't find a clear run on reappearance; she's one to consider.
2	1 2nd (1) (12/1 -50%) Sly Madam	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) Sly Madam 12/1, Bounced back to form when taking 13-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy) last month. Wasn't in same form over a longer trip at Brighton latest but does have underfoot conditions to suit. Unplaced over 1m2f ten days ago but won over 1m two starts ago; respected now back at 1m.
3	2 3rd (2) (7.5/1 +46%) Farhh To Shy	7.5 7.5/1(+46%)	(2) Farhh To Shy 7.5/1, Won at Doncaster in 2022 but her AW campaign this winter has been underwhelming, most recently when last of 6 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 69 days ago. Up against it back on turf here. Has dropped down the weights but unable to get competitive on AW on last three starts.
4	3 4th (3) (1.5/1 +0%) Kingmania	1.5 1.5/1(+0%)	(3) Kingmania 1.5/1, Looked as good as ever, on debut for new yard, when winning 12-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 26 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Just 3 lb higher, back on turf, and holds leading claims. Won on last month's stable debut at Southwell and holds solid claims up 3lb.
5th	6 5th (6) (4.5/1 +36%) Golden Melody	4.5 4.5/1(+36%)	(6) Golden Melody 4.5/1, Sole success last year came in testing conditions over this trip at Thirsk and posted a solid reappearance at Doncaster last month. Latest effort can be ignored (kicked at start and reportedly lame) and could be a player. Had an excuse last time; won soft ground last September and could be thereabouts.
6th	5 6th (5) (9/1 -157%) Canoodled	9 9/1(-157%)	(5) Canoodled 9/1, Career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good to soft, 6/1) in October. Returns off 8 lb higher mark but has conditions to suit and must enter calculations. 3-6 on ground slower than good and returns with conditions in her favour.

LTO Selection:

15:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Based on the summary, 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA and 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED seem to be the most promising horses. 1.5/1 (3) KINGMANIA won on their last stable debut and has solid claims up 3lb, and looked as good as ever on debut for a new yard. 3.5/1 (5) CANOODLED had a career best when winning a 16-runner handicap in October and returns with conditions in her favour. However, 7/1 (6) GOLDEN MELODY could also be a player as she won in testing conditions over the same trip and posted a solid reappearance at Doncaster last month, despite a recent excusable effort. 8/1 (1) SLY MADAM also has potential as she bounced back to form when taking a handicap at Windsor last month. 14/1 (2) FARHH TO SHY seems to be the least promising based on recent form.

James Ferguson has his string in excellent form and KINGMANIA makes plenty of appeal following her stable debut success at Southwell. She benefited from the application of a hood and a 3lb rise may well underestimate her as she attempts to back that victory up. Belhaven is likely to step forward after finishing last at Redcar on her return from a break, while the drop back to a mile is in Sly Madam's favour after the mare pulled too hard when stepped up in trip under a 5lb penalty at Brighton.

KINGMANIA came from a unpromising position when scoring on stable debut at Southwell last month and looks leniently treated. She is fancied to follow up. Canoodled goes well on this sort of ground and is feared most.

A line can be put through the reappearance performance of BELHAVEN, and she is taken to add to the three wins she posted last year.

15:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

16:10 Nottingham Listed (Class 1) 10f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	8 1st (8) (8.5/1 +39%) One For Bobby	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(8) One For Bobby 8.5/1, Winner of first 2 starts at Gowran for Johnny Murtagh last May and went on to post a couple of good efforts in more exalted company, including when third of 12 in this grade at Naas (1½m, heavy) on latest start in October. Still, needs to take a step forward on debut for new yard here. Third in Irish Group 2 last July; she's an each-way possible on stable debut.
2	9 2nd (9) (16/1 +36%) Pink Carnation	16 16/1(+36%)	(9) Pink Carnation 16/1, Off the mark in a maiden here last spring and was pretty impressive when bagging a 9f Hamilton handicap later in the season. However, she failed to land a meaningful blow in this grade on final 2 starts of that campaign and is likely to come up short once more. Respectable Listed run when last seen but has something to find in this line-up.
3	2 3rd (2) (22/1 -38%) Annerville	22 22/1(-38%)	(2) Annerville 22/1, Just a Leopardstown maiden win to her name and that was gained back in May 2021. Failed to make an impact in 4 starts in Dubai this year and while she put in a good shift when third of 11 in a Cork listed event (1½m, good to soft) recently, others make more appeal here for win purposes. Placed in three Listed races but has an exposed profile and looks vulnerable here.
4	10 4th (10) (10/1 -11%) Sunset Shiraz	10 10/1(-11%)	(10) Sunset Shiraz 10/1, Placed several times in Group company last season before duly landing the odds in a 1m Gowran maiden in October. Largely creditable efforts thereafter, too, including when fifth on return in a Group 3 at the Curragh where she shaped as though well worth another try at this trip. Encouraging reappearance run and could build on that now back up in trip.
5th	3 5th (3) (4.5/1 -13%) Crystal Caprice	4.5 4.5/1(-13%)	(3) Crystal Caprice 4.5/1, Quickly developed into a useful filly last term, completing the hat-trick in a handicap at Ascot (1m, good) prior to finishing third in a Newmarket listed race. Best to overlook latest effort (reportedly lost action) and she's a big player now upped in trip for last year's winning yard. Stable has won 2 of last 3 runnings; this well-bred 4yo is just the type yard excels with.
6th	6 6th (6) (5/1 +33%) Misty Dancer	5 5/1(+33%)	(6) Misty Dancer 5/1, Improved when landing a Goodwood maiden in August and further progress when following up in handicaps at Ayr/Newbury last season. Travelled well for a long way in this grade at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy) on final start of 2022 and she's not without an each-way chance. Landed h'cap hat-trick before coming up short in Listed race, but not discounted on return.
7th	1 7th (1) (1.88/1 -15%) Golden Lyra	1.88 1.88/1(-15%)	(1) Golden Lyra 1.88/1, Generally progressive save for a disappointing effort in the Galtres Stakes at York last summer (the good ground that day was thought to be against her). Decisive winner of a French listed race (1¼m, heavy) on final start of 2022 and leading claims provided the ground remains on the slow side. Carries 3lb penalty but she was a Listed winner last October and holds leading form claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (100/1 -52%) Hotter Than Hades	100 100/1(-52%)	(4) Hotter Than Hades 100/1, Narrow winner of an 11f Killarney maiden in October but has come up short in this grade on each of her 3 subsequent starts. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking significant improvement. Unplaced in Listed races on last three runs; improvement needed in first-time cheekpieces.
9th	7 9th (7) (16/1 -78%) Mukaddamah	16 16/1(-78%)	(7) Mukaddamah 16/1, Failed to add to debut success in a Wolverhampton novice last year but she often acquitted herself well in good company, not least when fourth in the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot. Raced only on good/good to firm on turf so far but she won't be far away if handling conditions. Creditable runs in Group/Listed races last year; improvement needed, but it's possible.
10th	5 10th (5) (9/1 -13%) Life Of Dreams	9 9/1(-13%)	(5) Life Of Dreams 9/1, Impressive winner of a Newbury maiden over this trip on debut last spring and subsequently placed twice in Group 3 company. Drop back to a mile against her on return at Kempton and she could have a part to play back up in trip here, provided conditions don't become testing. Ran well in 1m2f Group 3 races last year and not ruled out now back up in trip.

LTO Selection:

16:10 Nottingham Listed (Class 1) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Based on the summary, 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE seem to be the strongest contenders, with 1.63/1 (1) GOLDEN LYRA having a penalty but holding leading form claims and 4/1 (3) CRYSTAL CAPRICE being a well-bred horse that the stable excels with. 7.5/1 (6) MISTY DANCER and 9/1 (10) SUNSET SHIRAZ also have each-way chances, while the other horses seem to have some weaknesses or need to improve significantly to compete at this level.

Softer conditions appeared to hold the key to GOLDEN LYRA's improvement when running out a comfortable winner of a Listed contest at Saint-Cloud in October, after a disappointing effort at York's Ebor meeting. The daughter of Lope De Vega has to give 3lb to her rivals but, with the ground very much in her favour, the four-year-old is capable of further improvement on just her sixth career outing. Crystal Caprice had excuses on her final outing when losing her action at Lingfield and she remains with a fair amount of potential, especially for stepping up in trip, while Mukaddamah and One For Bobby appear best of the remainder.

Sir Michael Stoute saddled the winner of this last year and CRYSTAL CAPRICE could be another for the yard. You can draw a line through her effort on the all-weather in October, prior to which she looked most progressive and hopes are high that she will kick on again this season now moving up in trip (untried beyond 1m but pedigree augurs well stamina-wise). Golden Lyra rates the main danger, while Sunset Shiraz, who looks the pick of the Irish raiders, is third choice ahead of Life of Dreams.

The lightly raced 4yo CRYSTAL CAPRICE is from a family Sir Michael Stoute has excelled with and she can make a winning return.

16:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 6f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (18/1 -29%) Thunderbear	18 18/1(-29%)	(1) Thunderbear 18/1, Won at Fairyhouse in September and should build on his Bellewstown comeback. Interesting if he can dictate matters. May have needed last month's reappearance but best form has come on good ground.
2	3 2nd (3) (1.25/1 +38%) Mutaany	1.25 1.25/1(+38%)	(3) Mutaany 1.25/1, Set a good standard and duly delivered as he made his final 2-y-o start a winning one in 6f Brighton novice, travelling well and coming clear. His form has a solid look to it and he looks a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow having been gelded. Form of Brighton win reads well; gelded since and could be set for a good campaign.
3	7 3rd (7) (2.25/1 +44%) Open Market	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(7) Open Market 2.25/1, Successful debut in Ireland last year and has made a solid start in handicaps in recent weeks, caught late at Yarmouth (6f) 7 days ago, looking the most likely winner heading inside the final 1f only to be collared by one that looked more straightforward under pressure. Player off the same mark. Headstrong but good 2nd from the front on both runs last month; can make another bold bid.
4	2 4th (2) (3.5/1 +22%) Wen Moon	3.5 3.5/1(+22%)	(2) Wen Moon 3.5/1, Scored at Ripon last summer and returned with a bang having been gelded to land 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud 3 weeks ago. Raised 3 lb and could have more to offer. Reappeared with a win at Pontefract, having been gelded, and he could have more to offer.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 +0%) Maggie's Tern	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Maggie's Tern 12/1, Should find a race on what she showed at 2 yrs (went close at Leicester over this trip second start). A break may have helped & Hollie Doyle is 5-22 for this yard; no surprise to see bold show.

LTO Selection:

16:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

It is difficult to predict with complete certainty which horse will perform the best based on this summary, as each has their own strengths and weaknesses. However, 2/1 (3) MUTAANY Form of Brighton seems to have a solid record and potential for improvement after being gelded, making him a strong contender as a 3-y-o sprint handicapper to follow. 4.5/1 (2) WEN MOON also has potential for improvement after being gelded and recently winning a 6f Pontefract handicap in the mud. 12/1 (6) MAGGIE'S TERN has a promising jockey and a potential for a bold show after taking a break. 14/1 (1) THUNDERBEAR has a good track record on good ground and could be interesting if he can control the race. 4/1 (7) OPEN MARKET and 4/1 (5) FOX MASTER have had some success but may need to show improvement to compete against the other contenders. 22/1 (4) IBIZA LOVE is a wildcard as a new addition to the stable and may not be as appealing as the other horses.

This represents a drop in class for Wen Moon, who scored over this trip at Pontefract off 3lb lower on his most recent outing. He can have a big say in proceedings here, but FOX MASTER is entitled to improve following a fair fifth at Newcastle on his latest run in February. He is well related and could make his presence felt on his turf debut. Open Market was only narrowly denied at Yarmouth last month and should not be taken lightly, while Mutaany has been gelded for his reappearance and adds further spice to the race.

MUTAANY hails from a good Shadwell line and looks a 3-y-o sprinter to keep on side having won well at Brighton when last seen. He can make a successful return/handicap debut for a yard who have had plenty go well first time back in recent weeks. Open Market went close at Yarmouth and is respected off the same mark. Pontefract-winner Wen Moon is also considered.

Well-bred MUTAANY (nap) could be on a good mark even before factoring in the possibility of improvement on this first run since gelded.

17:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (2/1 +50%) Starnight	2 2/1(+50%)	(6) Starnight 2/1, Low-key start to her career but improved despite not being seen to best effect on handicap debut when mid-field at the Curragh (6f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago. Should have more to offer on her first outing on these shores. Some promise in big field on handicap debut (6f, heavy); capable of better.
2	1 2nd (1) (2.5/1 +17%) Ghost Lights	2.5 2.5/1(+17%)	(1) Ghost Lights 2.5/1, Promise in maidens/minor event this year and wasn't seen to best effect on handicap debut when fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 32 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. Fancied to be in the mix on turf debut. Best work late on 6f AW handicap debut; first turf run; dam bred winners on yielding/soft.
3	2 3rd (2) (18/1 -157%) River Naver	18 18/1(-157%)	(2) River Naver 18/1, Finished down the field on 3 outings last year for William Haggas and failed to take a step forward on return sent handicapping (in cheekpieces) when fifth at Bath 11 days ago. More required. Minor form as 2yo; couldn't pick up on debut for new yard but should improve a little.
4	5 4th (5) (4/1 -100%) Silks Graphite	4 4/1(-100%)	(5) Silks Graphite 4/1, Took a step forward from his reappearance when runner-up at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 17 days ago, slightly inconvenienced by the winner drifting across him. Fully-fledged rider takes over and looks to have serious claims of going one better. Best form so far when runner-up in his second 6f handicap; A Atzeni replaces 7lb claimer.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +47%) Insolente	4.5 4.5/1(+47%)	(4) Insolente 4.5/1, Modest maiden who ran respectably in a first-time visor when fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) in January. Failed to repeat that effort at Kempton 11 days later and has since left Alice Haynes. Headgear left off. Promise in sprints as 2yo; struggled for latest yard; sold 1,000gns; needs weight off back.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/1 -38%) Cloud Queen	11 11/1(-38%)	(3) Cloud Queen 11/1, Found some improvement when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) on return last month but not in the same form at Southwell since. Back at 6f and bounce back required in first-time headgear. Promising handicap debut over 7f on AW; never in the hunt since; cheekpieces on.

17:10 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

It is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will perform well based solely on this summary, but 2/1 (5) SILKS GRAPHITE and 3/1 (1) GHOST LIGHTS both have promising recent form and potential for improvement. 4/1 (6) STARNIGHT also has some potential and may do well in her first outing on these shores. 7/1 (2) RIVER NAVER and 8.5/1 (4) INSOLENTE have less promising recent form and may struggle to perform well.

A fairly weak contest in which preference is for SILKS GRAPHITE. Runner-up over this trip at Yarmouth last month, the gelded son of Brazen Beau is fancied to break his duck at the sixth time of asking. Ghost Lights finished a fair fourth at Lingfield in March and is interesting on his turf debut, while River Naver completes the shortlist for powerful connections.

SILKS GRAPHITE took his form up a notch when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and with a fully-fledged rider back on board, Darryll Holland's charge is fancied to open his account. Ghost Lights is put forward as the main threat on turf debut for the in-form Charles Hills, with Irish-raider Starnight rounding off the shortlist.

At least SILKS GRAPHITE has shown he can handle soft ground and his latest Yarmouth run was his best yet. Ghost Lights is next best.
