Info	Form	Odds	Comments
11	11 (11) (20/1 -67%) Spirit Of Leros	20 20/1(-67%)	(11) Spirit Of Leros 20/1, Fifth of 10 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good to firm, 28/1) on debut 22 days ago. Likely to improve. 5f looked on the sharp side at Ascot as he lacked the gears to mount a proper challenge.
1	13 1st (13) (5/4 +34%) Kassaya	1.25 5/4(+34%)	(13) Kassaya 5/4, Promising individual. Second of 6 in minor event (5/2) at Salisbury (5f, heavy) on debut 17 days ago. Should improve so this Kingman filly is one to consider. Classy pedigree and overhauled only late on at Salisbury by a previous winner.

7th	7 7th (7) (9/2 -29%) King Of Light	4.5 9/2(-29%)	(7) King Of Light 9/2, Promising Mehmas colt who came in third of 11 in minor event at York (5f, good) 18 days ago. Should have more to offer. Player. Has shown clear promise in finishing third in 5f good-ground novices at Windsor and York.
8th	2 8th (2) (16/1 -14%) Bow Street	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Bow Street 16/1, 14/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Ascot (5f, good to firm) on debut 22 days ago, missing break. Open to improvement. Looked in need of the experience at Ascot (5f, good) when in rear throughout.

Dam 2-y-o 1m winner out of useful 10.4f winner Hug And A Kiss. Worth a market check. Caught the eye at the breeze-ups to make £200,000 and looks worth shortlisting.
12th	10 12th (10) (22/1 +33%) Son Of Wind	22 22/1(+33%)	(10) Son Of Wind 22/1, Foaled February 10. 27,000 gns yearling, Kessaar colt.

13:40 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Nahi, Art Market and Mission Command all make some appeal ahead of their respective debuts, but experience counts for plenty and it is KING OF LIGHT who shades preference. Having shaped with promise on his debut at Windsor in April, the Mehmas colt took a step forward when finishing third at York last month. That effort sets the form standard and any further improvement will make him tough to beat.

Karl Burke's son of Mehmas KING OF LIGHT holds the edge on form and with the prospect of better to come he edges the vote in a very open-looking maiden. Andrew Balding's Kingman filly Kassaya also has the benefit of experience and is next on the list ahead of newcomers Art Market, Mission Command and Nahi.

Chaldean's half-sister KASSAYA would probably have made a winning debut at Salisbury had she been that bit wiser.

1	11 1st (11) (10/3 -67%) Mercury Day	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(11) Mercury Day 10/3, Time Test filly who shaped well when a debut fourth of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 9/2) and got back on track away from the mud when second to a smart sort at Chelmsford on final 2-y-o start. Will stay 1m. Sold from Ralph Beckett 50,000 gns in December. Big shout. Left R Beckett for 50,000gns in December; 1m can suit and she's one of the top two on form.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/8 +50%) Get Jiggy With It	1.375 11/8(+50%)	(9) Get Jiggy With It 11/8, Fairly useful filly but she isn't progressing and may prove vulnerable again. Best form was first two starts but two 2nds this spring also put her in serious contention.

Can make presence felt back in a maiden. Off since March and probably needs some improvement but penultimate start looked promising.

Wears hood. 3,000gns yearling; by Nathaniel, which suggests longer trips, but also hooded for debut.
11th	6 11th (6) (80/1 -220%) Trip To Venice	80 80/1(-220%)	(6) Trip To Venice 80/1, 20,000 gns foal, 42,000 gns yearling, Bated Breath gelding.

14:15 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Get Jiggy With It continues to knock on the door and she would be a deserved winner, while Keady Town, who will appreciate an ease in class, is another who looks set to go well. However, a chance can be taken on FINE GOLD. Tom Clover's gelding shaped with more promise than the finishing position suggests over 6f here on debut last month, after losing many lengths leaving the stalls. He'll be more streetwise this time and is taken to strike going up in trip.

MERCURY DAY showed plenty for Ralph Beckett at 2 yrs, beaten only by a subsequent Group 3 winner at Chelmsford on her final start, and she's preferred to the other form pick Get Jiggy With It, who's proving expensive to follow. Keady Town has improved in handicaps this year and is another to consider back in a maiden.

Keady Town and Get Jiggy With It have fair form but MERCURY DAY is preferred on her first run for a new stable.

14:50 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (13/2 -86%) Tribal Chief	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(5) Tribal Chief 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 66/1 and hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in maiden at Kempton (7f) 60 days ago. Gelded subsequently and switch to handicaps very much in his favour so he's one to note. Hooded latest; gelded since; stable going well and he needs a check on turf/handicap debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (3/1 +60%) Hello Cotai	3 3/1(+60%)	(3) Hello Cotai 3/1, Cotai Glory gelding who ran his best race to date faced with testing conditions when second of 7 in handicap at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May. Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Haydock (8f, soft) 9 days ago. Not discounted. Eight-race maiden, best when pipped at Goodwood (1m, heavy) on penultimate start.
3	9 3rd (9) (7/2 -17%) Evelyn's Phoenix	3.5 7/2(-17%)	(9) Evelyn's Phoenix 7/2, Lightly-raced winner. 28/1, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, good) 13 days ago, suited by way race developed. Still, she remains unexposed following just 4 career starts and merits respect again. 28-1, narrow win from out the back on recent handicap debut at Redcar (7f, good to firm).
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -50%) Persian Phoenix	5 5/1(-50%)	(1) Persian Phoenix 5/1, Creditable second of 8 in handicap (15/8) at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 16 days ago, headed approaching final 1f and staying on. Return to 1m will hold no fears and she's one to consider. Placed at Windsor and Hamilton on last two starts; more to prove on softer than good.
5th	10 5th (10) (5/1 +29%) Bestie	5 5/1(+29%)	(10) Bestie 5/1, Respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (7f, soft, 4/1) 5 days ago, pushed along halfway and plugging on. Cheekpieces on 1st time and step up to 1m worth exploring on that evidence. 3rd or 4th in four of his five 6f/7f handicaps; 1m is now worth a go; cheekpieces go on.
6th	6 6th (6) (16/1 -14%) Make A Scene	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Make A Scene 16/1, Winner at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in February. but record patchy since, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good) 16 days ago. Return to this shorter trip rates a likely plus and her penultimate Windsor effort gives her claims from career-low mark. 8.6f AW win; close fifth at Windsor (1m, good) on penultimate outing.
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 +24%) Angel Of Gold	50 50/1(+24%)	(11) Angel Of Gold 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was well held in pair of AW handicaps in January and fared no better making turf debut when tenth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 80/1) 50 days ago. Others make much greater appeal. No serious impact in her five AW runs or when 80-1 in Yarmouth handicap (1m, good to firm).
8th	7 8th (7) (14/1 +44%) Quick Away	14 14/1(+44%)	(7) Quick Away 14/1, Showed improved form back up in trip when runner-up in 9-runner handicap at Southwell (8.1f) in March but well below that level when fourth of 6 in handicap (14/1) at Haydock (8f, heavy) 36 days ago. 0-7 with best efforts on AW; remote fourth of six at Haydock (1m, soft) when back to turf.
9th	2 9th (2) (28/1 +0%) Romanee	28 28/1(+0%)	(2) Romanee 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, eighteenth of 19 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, good, 100/1) 29 days ago, losing place over 2f out. Drop back down in grade rates a definite plus. Tailed off when hooded in 19-runner handicap at Newmarket (7f, good; 100-1) on return.
10th	4 10th (4) (18/1 -50%) Cerulean Summer	18 18/1(-50%)	(4) Cerulean Summer 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 50/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 11 days ago. Makes turf debut. Respectable fifth of 11 at Kempton (1m) 11 days ago; needs improvement on this turf debut.

14:50 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HELLO COTAI was caught further back than ideal at Haydock nine days ago, so it was to his credit that he plugged on for fourth. Should he break on terms this time, Adam West's charge appears to hold solid claims now eased in class off an unchanged mark. Evelyn's Phoenix surprised a few when winning at odds of 28/1 over 7f at Redcar last time out and he makes obvious appeal upped in trip. Handicap debutant Tribal Chief is worth a market check too.

PERSIAN PHOENIX has stepped back up with each outing so far this campaign, finishing a creditable second at Hamilton 16 days ago. The return to 1m will hold no fears and she shades the vote in a competitive affair. Redcar-scorer Evelyn's Phoenix and handicap-debutant Tribal Chief head the dangers, whilst Bestie, in first-time cheekpieces, looks worth a crack at 1m.

Another step forward looks possible for EVELYN'S PHOENIX (nap) who swooped late on to win his handicap debut over 7f at Redcar.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
5	5 (5) (15/2 +53%) Zargun	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(5) Zargun 15/2, Latest win at Doncaster in March. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good, 11/1) 20 days ago. Not one to write off from this sort of mark. Doncaster win in March (soft); mixed since but return to 5f in his favour; not ruled out.
1	9 1st (9) (7/2 +36%) High Opinion	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(9) High Opinion 7/2, C&D winner. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm, 10/1) 14 days ago. Should give another good account. Running well in defeat in recent months but extra will be required to defy this mark.
2	8 2nd (8) (10/1 -25%) Phoenix Star	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) Phoenix Star 10/1, Latest win at Newcastle in March. 16/5, respectable 2 lengths third of 8 to Inspired Knowhow in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Needs to turn the tables with that rival. Two solid efforts back on the grass; 6lb better off for 2l with Inspired Knowhow on latest.
3	2 3rd (2) (3/1 +63%) J R Cavagin	3 3/1(+63%)	(2) J R Cavagin 3/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Beverley (5f, good to firm, 6/1) 19 days ago, not knocked about. Should be back to peak fitness now. Usually takes a few runs to come to hand so not ruled out now dropping in class.
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -40%) Mereside Angel	14 14/1(-40%)	(4) Mereside Angel 14/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (5f, good to firm, 12/1) 13 days ago. Needs to bounce back. 1-1 in Class 6 handicaps; yet to fire this year but latest run not devoid of promise.
5th	10 5th (10) (9/1 +36%) Latin Five	9 9/1(+36%)	(10) Latin Five 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newcastle in March. 9/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Ripon (5f, good to firm) 14 days ago. Type to bounce back quickly. Bad draw last time and this pick of this season's efforts gives him solid claims.
6th	1 6th (1) (12/1 -243%) Inspired Knowhow	12 12/1(-243%)	(1) Inspired Knowhow 12/1, 9/2, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Windsor (5.1f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Progressing recently. Narrow win at Windsor last month on first 5f attempt; 5lb rise doesn't look generous.
7th	6 7th (6) (4/1 +11%) Showalong	4 4/1(+11%)	(6) Showalong 4/1, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, unlucky not to finish closer when third of 10 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 23 days ago, hampered. In good form and is expected to be bang there. Placed over 5f on last three starts, including C&D latest; each-way shout once again.
8th	3 8th (3) (8/1 +0%) Never This Way	8 8/1(+0%)	(3) Never This Way 8/1, Respectable sixth of 10 in handicap (14/1) at Beverley (5f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Not discounted. Better than the result at Beverley 19 days ago; down in class; one to consider.
9th	11 9th (11) (20/1 +39%) Snow Berry	20 20/1(+39%)	(11) Snow Berry 20/1, Course winner. 8/1, last of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (6f), lost all chance at start. Off 7 months. Has work to do on return. Course winner; absent since November though and others look safer.
10th	7 10th (7) (40/1 -150%) Chief Of Navy	40 40/1(-150%)	(7) Chief Of Navy 40/1, Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving B. Seemar when seventh of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 10 days ago. Others make more appeal. Exposed 15-race maiden; low-key stable debut ten days ago; hood left off now; yard run two.

15:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Inspired Knowhow showed a likeable attitude when getting up in the shadows of the post over 5f at Windsor last time and this in-form gelding is likely to offer another bold bid, but he may struggle to defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Therefore, PHOENIX STAR, who finished a little over two lengths behind Marco Botti's charge on that occasion, can reverse the form on these revised terms, while High Opinion should also be thereabouts.

INSPIRED KNOWHOW fully clicked when an impressive winner at Windsor last time and there's the hope for better still, so he's preferred to the in-form Showalong, who was unlucky last time. High Opinion should also give his running.

Zargun and Phoenix Star can go well but NEVER THIS WAY shaped nicely at Beverley last month and now drops in class.

Already successful over this longer trip, he looks sure to make another bold bid. Consistent stayer at this level; same mark as when just missing out at Leicester latest.
11	11 (11) (40/1 -21%) Tazaman	40 40/1(-21%)	(11) Tazaman 40/1, C&D winner. 15/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Chelmsford City (14f). Off 20 months. Rejoined yard after leaving Mark Loughnane and likely best watched on return to action. 1m4f-1m6f wins for Mark Loughnane; back with former yard after a layoff.
7	7 (7) (50/1 +0%) Pawpaw	50 50/1(+0%)	(7) Pawpaw 50/1, 22/1, eighth of 9 in handicap hurdle at Ludlow (21.2f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes turf debut. Poor on last Flat outing. Has fallen into serious decline since winning over fences last year for David Bridgwater.

2	5 2nd (5) (9/2 +10%) Marbuzet	4.5 9/2(+10%)	(5) Marbuzet 9/2, Dual winner over staying trips last term who built on reappearance effort when second of 8 in handicap at Catterick (15.9f, good) 20 days ago, sticking to task. Enters calculations. Consistent stayer who comes here on the back of a near-miss at Catterick.
3	2 3rd (2) (6/1 +45%) Merrijig	6 6/1(+45%)	(2) Merrijig 6/1, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Chelmsford City in March. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, firm, 4/1) 15 days ago. Others more appealing. Nothing wrong with his mark but he could have run better the last twice.
4	13 4th (13) (6/1 +25%) Liberated Lad	6 6/1(+25%)	(13) Liberated Lad 6/1, Won here (10.2f) last summer and got back on the scoreboard at Chelmsford City over this trip in February. Arrives on back of good second in C&D handicap (good) last month and must enter calculations. Just denied in a sprint finish over C&D latest; a true gallop here would help.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 -38%) Rock N Roll Pinkie	11 11/1(-38%)	(9) Rock N Roll Pinkie 11/1, Ran right up to best when second of 10 in handicap at Doncaster (14.5f, firm, 25/1) 15 days ago. Just 1 lb higher now and could be a player. Second in a higher grade on faster ground last time; sole win came on good to soft.
6th	8 6th (8) (11/2 +31%) Swinging London	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(8) Swinging London 11/2, Consistent sort who made the frame again when good second of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 9 days ago. Likely to be in the mix again. Went close at Pontefract but lacked concentration in the finish and he's now 1-28.
7th	3 7th (3) (20/1 -67%) Grigio	20 20/1(-67%)	(3) Grigio 20/1, Winner at Kempton in February. 11/2, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 25 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip and not ruled out. Better horse now than when last seen on turf given progress made on the AW.
8th	12 8th (12) (9/1 +0%) Young Endless	9 9/1(+0%)	(12) Young Endless 9/1, 3 wins from 7 runs this year. Latest win at Southwell in April. Good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 15/2) 17 days ago. Each-way claims. Solid run of form in staying AW handicaps; bit to prove on grass and off this mark.
9th	4 9th (4) (33/1 -32%) Golden Delite	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Golden Delite 33/1, Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 11 in handicap (18/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 72 days ago, not knocked about. Significantly up in trip. Still looking for first success. Best run was last season for a different yard; time on his side to turn a corner.
6	6 \|DQ\| (6) (9/2 +40%) Surrey Belle	4.5 9/2(+40%)	(6) Surrey Belle 9/2, 2/1, third of 4 in handicap at Wolverhampton (14f) 34 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not taken lightly. 1m6f AW winner; has comparable turf form and could be fitter than last time.

15:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A host of in-form rivals line up for this contest, with a tentative nod in the direction of MARBUZET, who was unlucky to be touched off over 2m at Catterick last time. Tim Easterby's runner has been raised just 1lb for for that neck defeat, which may not be enough to stop him from getting back to winning ways. Swinging London shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when beaten just half a length over 1m4f at Pontefract, while Corsican Caper should also be in the shake-up.

CORSICAN CAPER is at the top of his game and would likely have recorded his fifth success of the year but for a sluggish start at Leicester earlier this week. He can make amends here. Marbuzet and Liberated Lad should also go well.

Tim Easterby's MARBUZET usually gives his running in staying handicaps and he arrives here on the back of a near-miss at Catterick.

2	9 2nd (9) (9/4 +18%) Great Blasket	2.25 9/4(+18%)	(9) Great Blasket 9/4, Thriving of late and completed a hat-tyrick in 9-runner handicap at Newmarket (8f, good) 15 days ago. Up another 3 lb but still looks the one to beat. Flourished in blinkers & made his ground up easily latest; bold bid for 4-timer expected.
3	6 3rd (6) (7/1 +36%) Cruyff Turn	7 7/1(+36%)	(6) Cruyff Turn 7/1, C&D winner. Below form eighth of 17 in handicap at York (7.9f, good, 33/1) 17 days ago. Now below last winning mark though so can't be discounted. C&D winner; not shone so far in 2024 but this is weaker and he's on a dangerous mark.
4	3 4th (3) (7/1 +36%) Brunch	7 7/1(+36%)	(3) Brunch 7/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Haydock (8f, heavy) 8 months ago. Others more persuasive. On a losing run but on a good mark, goes well fresh and his yard is in form; interesting.
5th	8 5th (8) (4/1 +33%) First Officer	4 4/1(+33%)	(8) First Officer 4/1, Latest win at Windsor in April. Solid fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, good to firm, 10/3) 22 days ago. This course scorer is well in the mix. Two solid runs over 1m2f this year but needs more back at 1m and upped in class.
6th	7 6th (7) (14/1 -27%) Dawn Of Liberation	14 14/1(-27%)	(7) Dawn Of Liberation 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. 13/2, eighth of 10 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time with work to do. Below par returned to turf 13 days ago and connections now reach for headgear.
7th	5 7th (5) (17/2 -31%) Farhh To Shy	8.5 17/2(-31%)	(5) Farhh To Shy 17/2, Good sixth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (8f, good to firm, 12/1) 22 days ago. Can make presence felt. Running herself back into form and she's on a dangerous mark; strong traveller; e-w claims.
8th	4 8th (4) (40/1 -233%) Excel Power	40 40/1(-233%)	(4) Excel Power 40/1, Eight wins from 30 Flat runs but only seventh of 10 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 62 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Chance on his best form but not hit top gear in 2024; drying ground would suit.
9th	2 9th (2) (16/1 -60%) All The King's Men	16 16/1(-60%)	(2) All The King's Men 16/1, Thirteenth of 15 in handicap (10/1) at Meydan (8f, good) 86 days ago so more is required. Two 7f AW wins in 2023; struggled in Dubai over the winter; needs to step up on turf form.

16:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Having been raised 12lb in the ratings after his hat-trick of wins this term, the progressive GREAT BLASKET can continue his winning thread. Gina Mangan's claim can help to negate the latest 3lb rise after his short-head success over 1m at Newmarket last month. First Officer should also be on the scene with a drop in trip likely to suit, while Aerion Power finished fourth in last year's Royal Hunt Cup off the same mark and he is also worthy of respect.

GREAT BLASKET is on a roll and a 3 lb rise for his latest victory at Newmarket doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from extending his successful spree to four. First Officer has winning form here and could emerge as the main danger, with Farhh To Shy and Cruyff Turn appealing as the pick of the remainder for minor honours.

The strong-travelling Farhh To Shy can go well but BRUNCH returns with his yard going well and he may exploit his reduced mark.

Bit below form eighth of 18 in handicap (gambled-on 12/1) at York (7f, good) 8 days ago, nearest finish and not for the first time this season looking as if he's up to winning from this kind of mark. One to consider back down in grade. Strike a line through latest York run; type to pop up soon for this yard.
1	8 1st (8) (9/1 +44%) Soames Forsyte	9 9/1(+44%)	(8) Soames Forsyte 9/1, 12/1, 6¼ lengths eleventh of 15 to Coolree in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Two AW wins around the turn of the year; gone off the boil the last twice.
2	7 2nd (7) (7/4 +71%) Ardbraccan	1.75 7/4(+71%)	(7) Ardbraccan 7/4, C&D winner on return in April. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at this course (10.2f, good) 12 days ago. One to take seriously from the same mark. Course record reads -313; comes here in form but takes on male opponents this time.
3	3 3rd (3) (14/1 -17%) Paris Lights	14 14/1(-17%)	(3) Paris Lights 14/1, Creditable seventh of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good to firm, 40/1) 15 days ago, running on late. Every chance if back to best. Late headway into seventh at Thirsk last time; not sure to build on it.
4	6 4th (6) (8/1 -33%) Coolree	8 8/1(-33%)	(6) Coolree 8/1, 12/1, career best when winning 15-runner handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Remains low-mileage on turf for this yard and could go well again up 3 lb. First win for new yard at Beverley last month; that form not working out; others stronger.
5th	4 5th (4) (28/1 -56%) Flatley	28 28/1(-56%)	(4) Flatley 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) 64 days ago. Two AW wins this winter; on a fair mark but he's 0-11 on turf and needs a step forward.
6th	2 6th (2) (8/1 +33%) Dumfries	8 8/1(+33%)	(2) Dumfries 8/1, Thirteenth of 16 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 15 days ago, met some trouble. Dropping in the weights. Free-going sort who has been well held in two runs since a promising stable debut.
7th	1 7th (1) (6/1 -100%) Rogue Soldier	6 6/1(-100%)	(1) Rogue Soldier 6/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in November. Off 4 months/first run since leaving Tom Clover when creditable third of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 3/1) 11 days ago, needing stiffer test. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Respected. Beaten favourite on stable debut 11 days ago but return to 1m will suit, as may headgear.
8th	9 8th (9) (28/1 -12%) Create	28 28/1(-12%)	(9) Create 28/1, Off 10 weeks, 33/1, last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 54 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Blinkers on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Struggled in handicaps and hopes rest on blinkers turning things around.
9th	10 9th (10) (5/1 +17%) The Spotlight Kid	5 5/1(+17%)	(10) The Spotlight Kid 5/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Creditable third of 11 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D (good) 23 days ago, just ending up too far back having been forced to rein back from a wide draw and running on. Has to be taken seriously back under Fallon. Placed over C&D in his two runs this season; needs more to win in this higher grade.

16:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARDBRACCAN won over C&D in April and was unlucky when third here over further last month following the combination of a slow start along with the lack of a clear run when required. She is likely to be coming with a late charge and may overhaul recent winner Coolree if the race falls her way. Amy Murphy's gelding looks all set for another big run off 3lb higher, leaving The Spotlight Kid to follow them home in third.

THE SPOTLIGHT KID gets the verdict after a couple of creditable runs here this term. He's clearly on a mark he can capitalise from and both his wins have come under Cieren Fallon. Helter Skelter shaped well again in a deeper contest at York last weekend and is feared most ahead of Beverley-winner Coolree.

Helter Skelter is threatening better but ROGUE SOLDIER may have his measure over this trip.

Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft, well-backed 3/1) 6 days ago, no match for unexposed impressive winner but clear of rest.

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

Soi Dao won a Class Six here over C&D last month and has to be considered, but she is up against slightly better opposition here and races off 3lb higher which may stop her doubling up. James Fanshawe has his string running to form suggesting Brighton fourth Bernadine could also go well, but WAR CHANT could have the edge. Third and beaten less than a length on his first start since last September, any improvement could see him winning for the fifth time.

BEYLERBEYI chased home an unexposed one probably destined for better things at Yarmouth on Monday and has every chance from the same mark if backing that performance up. Soi Dao has returned to turf in top form and has a good shout again. War Chant is another to consider.

The most solid options appear to be recent C&D winner SOI DAO ahead of this week's Yarmouth runner-up Beylerbeyi

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.
