17:15 Nottingham (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Stormy Pearl likes to get on with things and is dangerous to underestimate now she is back on her last winning mark. However, another furlong would have been more ideal for her and she could prove vulnerable to one more accustomed to plying their trade over the minimum distance. The in-form REBEL STAR ideally fits the bill and, still unexposed on turf, Robert Cowell's filly rates the pick of this bunch. Glory Fighter and Desert Master, who returns after wind surgery, are other attractively-weighted options.

Rebel Star looks booked for another big run but ZUFFOLO can capitalise on today's return to Class 6 company.

17:50 Nottingham (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Having landed a brace of wins over hurdles within a week in March, QUEEN OF STEEL reverts to the Flat with an appealing profile. With her stamina not in question, a first career victory under this code could be within the Fergal O'Brien-trained mare's reach. Young Endless, who was an encouraging second on his first run for Kevin Frost over 1m6f at Wolverhampton, rates the chief danger back at this trip. Fashionelle and Payment Plan complete the shortlist.

The hurdlers Queen Of Steel and TARA ITI look interesting back on the Flat and the vote is cast to James Owen's gelding.

18:25 Nottingham (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

As the first foal of a Listed-placed sprinter, EXCELLENT BELIEVE might not leap from the page as a natural miler. However, there is some stamina in his pedigree and having gone close to justifying favouritism over 7f on his introduction at Wolverhampton, stepping up in trip could well see an improved effort, especially now he has some experience to draw upon. The recently-gelded Lola Moon should also be wiser after an encouraging debut at Newbury. River King and Typhoon Dancer are others with the potential to go close.

A good few possibles for this interesting novice but LOLA MOON, who is proven at the trip, gets the vote.

19:00 Nottingham (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

GIGI BLISS hit the woodwork when pitched into a handicap for the first time at Yarmouth last week and, with a lot less to prove than many of her rivals, she can go one better before her 2lb rise comes into effect. Jet Black steps up in trip now sent handicapping and it would come as no surprise were she to find improvement. Ravishing Beauty is also noted.

Having caught the eye on her Southwell comeback, JET BLACK (nap) is preferred to Gigi Bliss, who's 2lb well-in.

19:35 Nottingham (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CHESS DAD sprang a minor surprise when overturning an odds-on favourite on his debut at Newcastle, and the Study Of Man colt proved that was no fluke when finishing a close-up third under a penalty at Newmarket. This doesn't appear to be as competitive and he is fancied to regain the winning thread. Boatswain made an impressive start to his career at Lingfield at the beginning of the year and is perhaps the main threat, although Rogue Millions shouldn't be underestimated in receipt of weight.

Chess Dad sets the standard on his Newmarket third but ROGUE MILLIONS shaped with a deal of promise at Southwell and is preferred.

20:10 Nottingham (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Arriving with his yard in fine form, it might pay to take chance on LITTLE TED. Tim Easterby's eight-year-old was never competitive on his reappearance at Thirsk after being slowly away, but a slight ease in the handicap means he's only 1lb higher than when scoring at Musselburgh last summer. With Amie Waugh taking off a handy 3lb, he can't be taken lightly. Beltane was able to fill the runner-up spot at Doncaster a fortnight ago and he remains of interest. Misemerald is too well treated to ignore.

The step back up from 7f looks ideal for BELTANE as long as he settles better from the front than he did in a visor last time.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
