14:03 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (11/10 +37%) Love Dynasty	1.1 11/10(+37%)	(3) Love Dynasty 11/10, Dubawi filly who looked something out of the ordinary when making a winning debut in 10-runner novice (6/1) at Newmarket (7f, heavy) 11 months ago. Absent since but she's clearly open to significant improvement on return to action. Shortlisted. 6-1, won smoothly in novice at Newmarket (7f, heavy) last November but not seen since.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/3 +67%) Groovy Baby	3.333333 10/3(+67%)	(6) Groovy Baby 10/3, Fair filly. Creditable second of 11 in handicap at this C&D (heavy, 10/1) 15 days ago, no match for winner but nicely on top of the remainder. Forecast conditions will hold no fears but she could prove vulnerable to less exposed types. Placed in four of her six races, including over 1m on heavy on last two; may be vulnerable.
3	8 3rd (8) (13/2 -8%) Sueno	6.5 13/2(-8%)	(8) Sueno 13/2, 400,000 gns yearling, Camelot filly. Sister to smart 11.5f/1½m winner Title, closely related to smart 1½m-1¾m winner Viking Storm. Dam unraced from an excellent family. Makes plenty of appeal on paper for top stable and she commands respect on debut. 400,000gns yearling by Camelot; twelfth foal; sister to 11.4f/1m4f winner Title (RPR 115).
4	4 4th (4) (14/1 -75%) Capla Lazarus	14 14/1(-75%)	(4) Capla Lazarus 14/1, Phoenix of Spain gelding who was easy to back but displayed plenty of ability when finishing length second of 7 to Fox Avatar in novice at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) on debut 36 days ago, conceding first run before running on. Entitled to build on that. Promising 2nd to Fox Avatar at Beverley on debut and has each-way claims.
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +0%) Fox Avatar	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Fox Avatar 5/1, Frankel gelding. Dam 2-y-o 5f/6f winner. Showed the benefit of his first run and justified support when winning 7-runner novice at Beverley (9.9f) 36 days ago, by length from Capla Lazarus, keeping on well. Encounters much different ground but likely there's more to come. Plenty of promise at Salisbury; scored tidily from Capla Lazarus at Beverley (1m2f, good).
6th	5 6th (5) (28/1 +15%) Toby Tops	28 28/1(+15%)	(5) Toby Tops 28/1, €120,000 yearling, 5,500 gns 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 1¼m winner J'embrasse Pas. Dam twice-raced sister to Irish Oaks winner Seventh Heaven. 120,000euros yearling, 5,500gns July 3yo; Siyouni half-brother to French 2yo 1m2f winner.
7th	7 7th (7) (400/1 -300%) Lady Teo	400 400/1(-300%)	(7) Lady Teo 400/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, showed only greenness when last of 6 in novice at Haydock (8f, soft) on debut in July, very slowly away and beaten long way out. Can only be watched. 50-1, very slowly away when beaten 23l in novice at Haydock (1m, soft) in July.

14:03 Nottingham Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fox Avatar (winner) and Capla Lazarus (second) met at Beverley last month and while the latter could get closer in receipt of 7lb having missed the break that day, slower ground in an unknown. That certainly won't be the case for Love Dynasty, who impressed in the mud at Newmarket last November and must be respected, for all that the layoff is a slight concern. Ripon winner Sir Edward Lear could also go well, but a chance is taken on debutant SUENO. Pedigree suggests the 400,000gns daughter of Camelot should handle conditions and she may well continue her yard's fine run of form.

LOVE DYNASTY has been absent since making a winning debut at Newmarket (7f) 11 months ago, yet she looked something out of the ordinary on that occasion and, open to significant improvement, she can make light of an absence with conditions holding no fears. Sueno is a very appealing newcomer from the Gosden stable and she commands respect. Beverley scorer Fox Avatar and Turn Up The Heat may emerge next best.

This looks all about LOVE DYNASTY if she is in the sort of form that saw her win at Newmarket last November. She needs a market check.

14:38 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (12/1 -200%) Last Outlaw	12 12/1(-200%)	(3) Last Outlaw 12/1, Confirmed debut promise when off the mark in 5f novice at Leicester in July. Creditable third despite refusing to settle when third of 5 on handicap debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm) since and he may yet have more to offer. Yet to encounter ground this slow, however. Third on handicap debut latest; unexposed and a player if he can act on testing ground..
2	5 2nd (5) (15/8 +63%) Huddle Up	1.875 15/8(+63%)	(5) Huddle Up 15/8, Losing run stretches back to 2021 but knocking firmly on the door of late, the only one to make an impact from off the pace when third of 9 in handicap at Goodwood (6f, heavy) 29 days ago. Respected back at 5f. Placed in all four starts for this trainer; more needed for a first British success..
3	4 3rd (4) (8/1 -78%) Knicks	8 8/1(-78%)	(4) Knicks 8/1, Course winner who opened his account for this yard at Chester (5f) in May. Struggled in handful of starts thereafter but right back to form when third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (6f) 23 days ago, finishing fastest of all. Conditions will hold no fears and he's one to consider. Mudlark who ended a lean spell when a close third at Ayr (6f, good) latest; contender..
4	8 4th (8) (17/2 +58%) Object	8.5 17/2(+58%)	(8) Object 17/2, Made a winning return at Catterick (5f, soft) in April. Largely held his form in defeat since and had little chance given where he raced when last of 12 in handicap at Redcar (5f, soft, 10/1) 6 days ago. Lines up here on a competitive mark. Appeared to lose his action at Redcar last week; if over that, he's on a competitive mark..
5th	1 5th (1) (5/1 +0%) Faro De San Juan	5 5/1(+0%)	(1) Faro De San Juan 5/1, Back on the scoresheet at Windsor (5.1f) in July and he comes here in good nick, second of 9 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, heavy, 8/1) 3 days ago. Can go well again back at the minimum trip. Again showed he acts on soft when second at Bath (5.7f) latest; each-way player..
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +22%) Abate	7 7/1(+22%)	(2) Abate 7/1, C&D winner who had a productive 2023, winning 4 times. Yet to get his head in front this time around but his mark has fallen plenty and best not judged too harshly on his latest thirteenth of 17 in handicap at York (5f, soft) 13 days ago having been poorly drawn. This rates less demanding. Multiple 5f-6f winner; on a handy mark but needs a revival after three below-par efforts..
7th	6 7th (6) (15/2 +6%) Four Adaay	7.5 15/2(+6%)	(6) Four Adaay 15/2, Eased in weights and gained reward for her consistency when taking 7-runner Sandown handicap (5f, soft) in September. Creditable third from revised mark at Windsor (5.1f, heavy) 10 days ago and live each-way claims again. Third in a 0-80 at Windsor (5f, heavy) latest; slight drop in grade should help..
8th	7 8th (7) (11/1 +8%) So Smart	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) So Smart 11/1, Latest win at Chepstow in August. 16/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Can give a good account again. Below par at both Bath and Leicester recently but this prominent racer is not ruled out..

14:38 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

FOUR ADAAY might have been too far back when finishing third at Windsor recently, but that was still a positive effort and she was eased 1lb for her troubles. Rod Millman's mare has less to prove on the ground than many, and that could prove vital as she looks to regain the winning sequence. Faro De San Juan has found some form of late and he is expected to be in the shake-up, while Last Outlaw warrants a market check following a solid handicap debut at Windsor.

Previous course winner KNICKS produced easily his best effort since the spring when a fast-finishing third at Ayr 23 days ago and, with the drop back in trip/underfoot conditions holding no fears, he could be the answer to this tricky puzzle. Huddle Up and Abate head up the dangers.

Not a race to be dogmatic about but the way mud-loving KNICKS appeared to come back to form last time makes him of strong interest.

15:13 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 6f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/2 +72%) Bay Breeze	4.5 9/2(+72%)	(4) Bay Breeze 9/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 6/1, last of 7 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, possibly amiss. This is the lowest he's been in the weights for some time and not dismissed out of hand. Chance on even this season's best and conditions shouldn't be an issue; oen to consider.
2	3 2nd (3) (11/2 -10%) Cypriot Diaspora	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(3) Cypriot Diaspora 11/2, Course winner in April (5f, heavy) who went in again at Goodwood (6f) in June. However, struggled of late, sixth of 8 in handicap at Leicester (5f, heavy) 16 days ago. Mark is steadily easing at least if she can bounce back. Conditions no issue and 2lb lower than for Goodwood win in June; laboured effort latest.
3	8 3rd (8) (9/2 +63%) Thornaby Pearl	4.5 9/2(+63%)	(8) Thornaby Pearl 9/2, 10/1 and visored for 1st time, below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Pontefract (5f, heavy) 17 days ago, headed before final 1f and no extra. Steps back up in trip and not discounted from his reduced mark. Conditions will suit and he lurks on a dangerous mark; not straightforward but respected.
4	7 4th (7) (11/1 +8%) Mccauley's Tavern	11 11/1(+8%)	(7) Mccauley's Tavern 11/1, Successful twice at Kempton earlier this year and not seen to best effect when 7 lengths ninth of 14 to Tilsworth Turf in handicap at Leicester (6f, heavy) when last seen in April. Starts out for new yard boasting a fine record with new recruits, so interesting if market vibes are positive. Two AW wins this year for Mark Loughnane; makes stable debut after six months off.
5th	5 5th (5) (16/1 -33%) Hallowed Time	16 16/1(-33%)	(5) Hallowed Time 16/1, Handled testing ground very well when opening his account for present yard at Chester (6f) in September. However, not in same form when ninth of 12 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft, 14/1) 23 days ago. Others preferred. Popped up on heavy ground at Chester last month but couldn't back it up at Bath last time.
6th	1 6th (1) (3/1 -85%) World Of Darcy	3 3/1(-85%)	(1) World Of Darcy 3/1, C&D winner who has thrived returned to testing ground of late, completing quick-fire hat-trick in 7-runner Brighton handicap (6f, heavy) 7 days ago. More on his plate back up in grade faced with double penalty but respected nevertheless. Three 6f wins on slow turf this month; C&D winner; bold bid for four-timer on the cards.
7th	2 7th (2) (8/1 +20%) Snuggle	8 8/1(+20%)	(2) Snuggle 8/1, Returned to form under a good tactical ride when second at Salisbury (6f) in September but not in anything like the same form when last of 13 in handicap back at that venue 3 weeks ago. Has form on deep ground & ran well on penultimate start; others still look more appealing.
8th	9 8th (9) (14/1 +0%) Tilsworth Turf	14 14/1(+0%)	(9) Tilsworth Turf 14/1, Latest win at Ripon in September. Tailed-off last of 10 to World of Darcy in handicap (11/4) at Windsor (6f, heavy) 10 days ago, folding tamely from 2f out. Cheekpieces reached for here but his record is a patchy one. Unexposed over 6f on slow ground; needs to rebound from a recent flop with headgear added.

15:13 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WORLD OF DARCY shrugged off a double penalty to complete his hat-trick at Brighton last week and although John Ryan's three-year-old is again saddled with a 12lb penalty, he can continue the winning run. Cypriot Diaspora was never really involved at Leicester, but a drop in class ought to aid her chance. Hallowed Time, who should relish testing ground conditions, might not be far away either.

WORLD OF DARCY has highlighted just how effective he is with plenty of give underfoot in rattling off a quick-fire hat-trick this month and he could well be up to completing the 4-timer in his present groove. Cypriot Diaspora has steadily eased in the weights in recent months and she needs considering also with conditions in her favour. McCauley's Tavern, on return/debut for Mick Appleby also commands a second look.

The thriving World Of Darcy is of obvious interest but BAY BREEZE may be able to exploit his lowly mark.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	13 1st (13) (9/2 +25%) Hardy Bloke	4.5 9/2(+25%)	(13) Hardy Bloke 9/2, Winning staying hurdler in Ireland for Emmet Mullins. More encouraging signs from easing mark in this sphere, good second of 8 in handicap at Pontefract (18f, heavy) 17 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Not dismissed for all the drop back in trip may not suit ideally. Visored. Sole win was novice hurdle (3m, heavy) in Ireland in March 2023; recent places; new visor.
2	12 2nd (12) (10/1 +50%) Rock N Roll Pinkie	10 10/1(+50%)	(12) Rock N Roll Pinkie 10/1, Bounced back to form to double her tally over C&D in June but not been in same form since, again showing signs of temperament (flashed tail) when eighth of 13 in handicap at Chester (14.4f, soft) 33 days ago. Others more persuasive. Clearcut winner over C&D (good to soft; unraced on worse) in June but disappointing since.
3	5 3rd (5) (11/2 +35%) Havaila	5.5 11/2(+35%)	(5) Havaila 11/2, Lightly-raced this year and showed himself back in better heart when fourth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (2m, heavy) 11 days ago. Lines up operating from same mark but drop back to 1¾m may not suit ideally. Nearly off the mark on Flat in May (2m, soft); big player on that but not so good since.
4	4 4th (4) (7/1 -75%) Alpine Stroll	7 7/1(-75%)	(4) Alpine Stroll 7/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Won 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft, 14/1) 9 days ago, battling well. Carries penalty. Definite possibilities returned to this longer trip. No handicap good thing under a 5lb penalty but he's respected as an in-form candidate.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -106%) Haarar	33 33/1(-106%)	(9) Haarar 33/1, Proved he still retains his ability in this sphere when runner-up at Thirsk in May and won back-to-back races over hurdles later that month. Not been in same form since under either code, however. Won two Flat races in 2022 and two novice hurdles this May; out of form since.
6th	7 6th (7) (11/1 +21%) Corsican Caper	11 11/1(+21%)	(7) Corsican Caper 11/1, Proved better than ever re-united with this yard, gaining a fifth victory of 2024 in 10-runner handicap at Chester (15.9f) in September. Well below best when eighth of 10 in handicap at York (16.2f) 12 days ago but he appeals as a likely candidate to bounce back. Won at Chester (2m, heavy) last month; ran creditably next time but poorly 12 days ago.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/1 -25%) Expressionless	10 10/1(-25%)	(2) Expressionless 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 11/2, eighth of 9 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to soft) 19 days ago, racing off the pace and never dangerous. Likely type to bounce back. Won on soft last term but ran poorly in two soft-ground races this year, including latest.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -40%) Ala Kaifi	28 28/1(-40%)	(1) Ala Kaifi 28/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, may have found race coming too soon when ninth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 29 days ago. Significantly back up in trip and refitting of a visor may help here. Well held over 1m2f on all three starts back in Britain lately; stamina to prove.
9th	8 9th (8) (18/1 -300%) Thrilling Dream	18 18/1(-300%)	(8) Thrilling Dream 18/1, Steady improver tackling middle distances, career best when winning 5-runner handicap at Leicester (11.8f, good to firm) 85 days ago, in command entering final 1f and kept up to work. Feasible to think he can do better again now his stamina is tested further. 3-6 in handicaps, seriously in charge in small fields in July last two; unproven on soft.
10th	6 10th (6) (16/1 -33%) Mister Camacho	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Mister Camacho 16/1, Facile winner in the mud at Catterick (13.9f) in spring 2023. Absent since finishing respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Haydock (16.2f, heavy) in July of last year and the market can prove a useful guide on this first start for 14 months. Won easily (1m6f, soft) in April on 2023 reappearance; much longer wait for 2024 return.
11th	10 11th (10) (18/1 -13%) Diamand De Vindecy	18 18/1(-13%)	(10) Diamand De Vindecy 18/1, Winner at Haydock in June. Fifth of 7 in handicap (15/2) at Ffos Las (16f, heavy) 62 days ago, beaten 2f out. Blinkers back on. Needs a couple of these to falter. Won in June; out of form since but the return of some headgear might spark something.
12th	11 12th (11) (13/2 +54%) Ebony Maw	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(11) Ebony Maw 13/2, Latest win at Ayr (15f) in October. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap back at that venue (13.1f, good) 14 days ago, beaten 1f out. Handicapper looks to have him about right. Won twice on heavy last October and twice on good this year, including penultimate start.
13th	3 13th (3) (11/1 -22%) Arcon	11 11/1(-22%)	(3) Arcon 11/1, Won an AW claimer at Chantilly last autumn. Better with each outing for present yard, second of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 23 days ago, edged out final 50 yds. Unexposed at this sort of trip and respected as a low-mileage 4-y-o. 2nd of five at Newcastle (2m, AW) latest when going beyond 1m4f for the first time.
14th	14 14th (14) (150/1 -200%) Winter Life	150 150/1(-200%)	(14) Winter Life 150/1, First run since leaving Charlie Johnston when eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 150/1) 10 days ago, labouring 3f out and first beaten. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Passed over. 0-7 for Charlie Johnston and tailed off for new yard (AW debut) ten days ago; headgear now.

15:48 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Alpine Stroll burned the fingers of favourite-backers when turning over an odds-on shot at Yarmouth last week. His penalty means he competes from a mark 1lb higher than his revised rating, though, so preference is for THRILLING DREAM, who has been freshened up since completing a quickfire Leicester brace in the height of summer. His 95-rated half-brother has won on soft, and there is the potential for more improvement now he goes further. Arcon and Hardy Bloke shouldn't be far way, and Expressionless is better than he showed at Redcar.

In a wide-open race, it could just be worth siding with ALPINE STROLL. He arrives on the back of a battling success over shorter at Yarmouth 9 days ago and with a solid course record to call upon, he makes appeal under a penalty. Thrilling Dream for Ed Dunlop is another of interest now upped in trip in search of the hat-trick. Hardy Bloke with a visor enlisted and Arcon are just a couple of others to consider.

Cases can be made for the likes of Thrilling Dream, Havaila and Ebony Maw but ALPINE STROLL looks the safest option.

1	1 1st (1) (13/2 +13%) Cresta Cat	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(1) Cresta Cat 13/2, 66/1, won 9-runner handicap at Brighton (1¼m, heavy) 7 days ago. Not obviously well treated under a penalty but will be at home on the ground. Off the mark by short head at Brighton (1m2f, soft) one week ago, making most; 5lb penalty.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 +21%) Martin Spirit	11 11/1(+21%)	(9) Martin Spirit 11/1, Winner at Epsom in July. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, heavy, 3/1) 10 days ago. Weakened late on over 11.4f on heavy ten days ago and he's a serious each-way contender.
3	11 3rd (11) (22/1 -57%) Recorwoman	22 22/1(-57%)	(11) Recorwoman 22/1, Unreliable but is a former C&D winner on heavy. Bit below form fifth of 13 in handicap (22/1) at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) 50 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Back up in trip. Has fared best on soft/heavy when on turf but no great upturn with it on latest outing.
4	7 4th (7) (25/1 -108%) Cariad	25 25/1(-108%)	(7) Cariad 25/1, Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 11/1) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. 0-11 on turf; others have more pressing claims, including as she is unraced over this far.
5th	4 5th (4) (22/1 -38%) Leap Year Lad	22 22/1(-38%)	(4) Leap Year Lad 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 50/1, ninth of 14 in handicap at Redcar (1¼m, good to soft) 19 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others are more obvious. Sparked only once (early June) this season; soundly beaten over 1m2f on soft 19 days ago.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/3 +63%) Kehlani	3.333333 10/3(+63%)	(2) Kehlani 10/3, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. 12/1 and blinkered first time, creditable third of 6 in handicap at Haydock (10.5f, heavy) 27 days ago. Not quite as good as last year but latest start (1m2f, heavy) gives her a place chance.
7th	10 7th (10) (11/2 +31%) Lhebayeb	5.5 11/2(+31%)	(10) Lhebayeb 11/2, 6/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, heavy) 10 days ago, keeping on after hampered. Interesting from this mark. Latest start was her most positive show this season and she may well build on it.
8th	6 8th (6) (28/1 -75%) Golden Delite	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Golden Delite 28/1, 16/1, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (1½m) 5 days ago. First-time blinkers need to have a positive effect. 0-10, disappointing; unraced on worse than good to soft; blinkers join his other equipment.
9th	5 9th (5) (11/4 +39%) Fougere	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(5) Fougere 11/4, C&D winner in July. 10/3, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, soft) 23 days ago. C&D win in July; short-headed next time and ran respectably at Bath (heavy) on latest.
10th	8 10th (8) (13/2 +13%) San Francisco Bay	6.5 13/2(+13%)	(8) San Francisco Bay 13/2, 22/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, soft) 23 days ago. Claims if he can back that up. Front-runner; upped from 7f to 1m2f at Bath (heavy) last time and came second of 13.
11th	12 11th (12) (22/1 -38%) Tiberio Force	22 22/1(-38%)	(12) Tiberio Force 22/1, Just one win from 27 starts but it did come over C&D. Twelfth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (1½m, good, 9/1) 38 days ago. Others are preferred. Sole win (27 races) was over C&D in 2022; bits of form this term give him a place chance.

16:25 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Cresta Cat burst back into life to spring a surprise at Brighton last week, a performance attributed to the rain-affected conditions. He could certainly prove it was no fluke but a safer option appears to be KEHLANI, who responded well to blinkers to take third behind a subsequent dual winner at Haydock. Ballsbridge remains a maiden but usually runs his race, while San Francisco Bay took a step back in the right direction when upped to this distance at Bath, finishing a couple of lengths ahead of Fougere.

A chance is taken on LHEBAYEB who shaped quite well when finishing third after meeting trouble at Windsor last week and has dropped to 4 lb below the mark she defied last autumn. Ballsbridge has been knocking on the door over 1m lately and will be threat if seeing it out back up in trip. The shortlist is completed by San Francisco Bay who was runner-up on his first attempt over this trip at Bath earlier in the month.

Most of the field have realistic each-way claims, with LHEBAYEB, Martin Spirit and Cresta Cat top of the list.

Not easy to make a good case for. Respectable shows this term (not so good on last two outings) and he has a career-low mark.
2	7 2nd (7) (18/1 -64%) Hurricane Power	18 18/1(-64%)	(7) Hurricane Power 18/1, Winner at Windsor (1m, good) in September. 7/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford (1m) since, racing closer to pace than ideal. Off the mark on penultimate start (1m, good); well below form on AW 12 days later.
3	4 3rd (4) (7/2 +42%) Johnjay	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(4) Johnjay 7/2, 9/4, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Bath (1m, soft) 23 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Merits consideration. Three minor honours from five starts this term, including when back on soft last time.
4	3 4th (3) (5/2 +25%) Temper Trap	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(3) Temper Trap 5/2, On a hat-trick after 7f wins in the mud at Leicester and Redcar in recent weeks. Just as good over this trip and a penalty may not prevent him completing a hat-trick in his current mood. Won comfortably over 7f at Leicester and Redcar last two starts; 6lb higher than last time.
5th	12 5th (12) (9/2 +68%) Pearl Sands	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(12) Pearl Sands 9/2, Winner at Ffos Las (heavy) in August. Creditable 4¼ lengths third of 14 to Temper Trap in handicap (17/2) at Leicester (7f, heavy) 16 days ago. Likely to be in the shake-up with ground conditions to suit. Creditable 3rd at Leicester (7f, heavy) latest but he was no match for winner Temper Trap.
6th	14 6th (14) (12/1 +14%) Likleman	12 12/1(+14%)	(14) Likleman 12/1, Winner at Hamilton (1m, soft) in September. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to soft, 10/1) 24 days ago. Won at Hamilton (1m, heavy) in September; good third there (1m, soft) on latest start.
7th	1 7th (1) (22/1 -100%) Gunsight	22 22/1(-100%)	(1) Gunsight 22/1, Fair maiden in Ireland for Michael O'Meara. Fitted with cheekpieces (replacing blinkers) on this first outing for new trainer Michael Dods. Interesting to see how he goes in the betting. Ex-Irish; same owner and well down the weights, so a case can be made on British debut.
8th	13 8th (13) (100/1 -100%) Supernova Steps	100 100/1(-100%)	(13) Supernova Steps 100/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 9 in novice at Redcar (7f, good, 200/1) 29 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Could only consider if backed. Second start (7f, good) hinted at ability; market may guide on handicap debut.
9th	2 9th (2) (14/1 -40%) Daisy Roots	14 14/1(-40%)	(2) Daisy Roots 14/1, Latest win at Windsor in September. Respectable fourth of 12 in handicap (3/1) at Windsor (1m, good) 38 days ago. Had a soft-ground win in 2023; 1m wins at Salisbury and Windsor on two of last four starts.
10th	11 10th (11) (18/1 -50%) Ya Rayah	18 18/1(-50%)	(11) Ya Rayah 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable third of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Yarmouth (1m, soft) 9 days ago. Claims if he can build on that. Competitive for the first time when third of ten at Yarmouth (1m, soft) nine days ago.
11th	9 11th (9) (16/1 -33%) Cuban Fiesta	16 16/1(-33%)	(9) Cuban Fiesta 16/1, Fair maiden. 4/1, below form third of 10 in handicap at Southwell (1m) 28 days ago. Best efforts on Tapeta; there's more for him to prove on turf.
12th	5 12th (5) (33/1 -136%) Ring Of Gold	33 33/1(-136%)	(5) Ring Of Gold 33/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. 10/3, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Carlisle (7f) good to soft) in June. Off since. Back up in trip. Last won in 2022 and he's never won on turf (16 attempts) but usually seriously involved.

17:00 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TEMPER TRAP has hit a rich vein of form of late and stepping up just beyond a mile may eke out further improvement as he looks to land the hat-trick on the back of comfortable successes over 7f at Leicester and Redcar. A winner of two of her last four starts, Daisy Roots must enter calculations, along with Johnjay and Cuban Fiesta, who has made the frame twice since joining new connections.

TEMPER TRAP looks good for a hat-trick in his current rich vein of form. Johnjay returned from a break with a decent fourth at Bath at the start of this month and is second choice ahead of Brian Ellison's Pearl Sands, who goes well in the mud.

With the aid of almost a career-low mark initially, TEMPER TRAP (nap) has staged a serious resurgence recently and can win again.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +38%) Zenato	4 4/1(+38%)	(2) Zenato 4/1, Hooded for 1st time, eighth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 9 days ago, weakening 1f out. Return to turf needs to have positive effect now with the headgear quickly discarded. 0-8 (mostly AW) for Henry de Bromhead; did not show enough in his two AW runs for new yard.
2	5 2nd (5) (4/1 +27%) Sense Of Reason	4 4/1(+27%)	(5) Sense Of Reason 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft, 66/1) 23 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Longer trip may help now with first-time cheekpieces enlisted. A lot closer when 5l sixth of 13 at Bath (1m, soft); upped in trip today in first headgear.
3	1 3rd (1) (10/1 -25%) Commander Crouch	10 10/1(-25%)	(1) Commander Crouch 10/1, One win from 23 Flat runs. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 28/1) 7 days ago, missing break. Cheekpieces back on and he's not one to write off. Sole win last September; record over 1m2f isn't solid and the same aplies to soft ground.
4	3 4th (3) (4/1 +38%) Imola	4 4/1(+38%)	(3) Imola 4/1, Bounced back to form in first-time blinkers when second at Chepstow (1m) in September (final start for Darryll Holland). Not seen to best effect when ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 22 days ago and the blinkers are quickly reapplied. Up in trip. Blinkers return, which looks positive; also upped from 1m and her dam was a 1m5f winner.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 -82%) First Encounter	5 5/1(-82%)	(6) First Encounter 5/1, Off the mark at Leicester (8.2f) in July and dispelled a couple of lesser efforts to double his tally at Chelmsford (10f) 3 weeks ago. Effective with give underfoot and claims once more nudged up 2 lb. Second twice on soft ground in May; two wins since, including 1m2f on latest start.
6th	4 6th (4) (11/4 -10%) The Bobster	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(4) The Bobster 11/4, Winner at Newcastle in September. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 5/1) 19 days ago, a sluggish start not helping his cause. Rider takes off a handy 3 lb and he's one to consider. Did well switched to AW recently and probably acts on soft.

17:35 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A half-brother to Cambridgeshire winner Majestic Dawn, who won on heavy ground, THE BOBSTER may well relish these conditions and he remains just 2lb higher than for his Newcastle success over this distance on his penultimate start. A determined scorer at Chelmsford last time out, First Encounter has had a busy season but is likely to be thereabouts again. The unexposed Sense Of Reason is also respected.

Having opened his account at Newcastle last month, THE BOBSTER shaped as if still in good form when fifth at Wolverhampton 3 weeks ago, a sluggish start not helping matters. Still unexposed at this sort of trip, he earns the vote ahead of recent Chelmsford winner First Encounter. Zenato completes the shortlist.

The most solid option in this weak race is surely FIRST ENCOUNTER. The return of blinkers and a step up in trip may help Imola.

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.
