(3) Masqool 4.5/1, Resumed winning ways at Lingfield in March. Left with too much to do when fifth of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 36 days ago. Shortlisted.

1.62/1(-8%)
(1) Lunar Jet 1.62/1, Likeable veteran who scored at Redcar in April and backed it up with a solid fourth at Doncaster (1m4f) 14 days ago. Goes really well on soft ground so this C&D winner is a player eased 1 lb here.
Goes well on softer than good, as he showed when winning at Redcar; excuses latest..

Whirlwind

10/1(-33%)
(2) Whirlwind 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Best run when fifth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in December on his final run for Richard Hannon. Tongue strap on 1st time. Considered. Engaged 4.20 Chester Friday.
0-4 for Richard Hannon; had wind surgery and is a likely improver at some stage.
LTO Selection:

13:55 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well in the race. However, 1.5/1 (1) LUNAR JET and 16/1 (6) RED DEREK seem to have some past success and may be worth considering. As for the top three finishers, it is impossible to accurately predict without additional information such as the quality of the other horses in the race and track conditions.

LUNAR JET appeared to be stretched by 1m4f at Doncaster on his latest outing. He won over this trip at Redcar the start prior, however, and is essentially 3lb lower than that mark when accounting for Mia Nicholls' claim. With that in mind, he edges the vote over Masqool (fifth) and At Liberty (sixth), who are closely matched on their recent meeting at Bath.

LUNAR JET handles soft ground really well so this likeable C&D scorer can quickly resume winning ways eased 1 lb for a good Doncaster fourth last time. At Liberty rates a big threat though if, as expected, building on an encouraging reappearance sixth at Bath, while in-form Masqool is another who needs factoring into an open handicap.

The one with the least to prove is LUNAR JET on this return to 1m2f. Masqool is better than he showed last time.

(2) Cue's Beau 3.2/1, Thrice-raced filly. Second of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 15/8) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Down in trip and should go very close if she handles conditions on this turf debut.
Runner-up on all her 3 AW starts, latest at Wolver; well in the mix on her turf debut.

Rusty after 9 months off when 4th at Catterick; can take step forward with blinkers on.

(4) Prima Valentina 16/1, Once-raced filly. 15/2, sixth of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (7f) on debut 37 days ago. Needs to step up on that if she's to emerge on top here.
Fading debut sixth at Chelmsford; this Dandy Man filly can build on that run here.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Nottingham Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to confidently predict which horse will win. However, 2/1 (2) CUE'S BEAU seems like a strong contender given her consistency on AW surfaces and recent good form in a minor event at Wolverhampton. Therefore, the predicted finish order is: 1st - 2/1 (2) CUE'S BEAU 2nd - 1/1 (3) ONEFORSUE 3rd - 9/1 (4) PRIMA VALENTINA

ONEFORSUE sets the standard with an official rating of 72, and she appears to have been found an ideal opportunity to shed her maiden tag following back-to-back second-place finishes. That said, Cue's Beau is yet to run a bad race so she's likely to be in the thick of things, while Montelusa is back from handicap company and should not be underestimated either.

ONEFORSUE ended last season with a near-miss in a soft-ground Redcar nursery and also went close on return/debut for new yard over 5f at Newcastle at the end of March. She will benefit from this step back up in trip and is taken to see off Cue's Beau, who has hit the crossbar on each of her 3 starts in maiden/novice company on the AW and will be a big threat if coping with conditions now switched to turf. Montelusa will need to raise her game if she's to trouble the aforementioned duo.

Paul Midgley's new recruit ONEFORSUE made a promising return when a clear Newcastle 2nd and can go one better with this 6f trip a plus

9/1(-13%)
(1) Family Ties 9/1, 40/1, first run since leaving David O'Meara when sixth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) on reappearance 40 days ago. May strip fitter now.
Encouraging return for new yard with Newcastle 6th; 2lb lower now so needs considering.

Off 5 months before solid Southwell 3rd; this 3-time 5f scorer is a player off easing mark.

Gelded/off six months ahead of return but yard is going well so he can't be ruled out.

Not disgraced sole run for Anthony Carson when third at Southwell; considered for new yard.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 5f 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 on this summary as there is no clear standout contender. However, the horses that could potentially finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd are 3.5/1 (2) LUMACHO, 8/1 (1) FAMILY TIES, and 2.25/1 (7) FORTUNATE STAR.

FORTUNATE STAR bumped into an improver when narrowly denied at Catterick, and any further progress could see Declan Carroll's charge go one better. He shades the vote over Lumacho, who reappeared with a solid third at Southwell. It's always dangerous to discount sprinters from the Paul Midgley yard so Family Ties, who showed plenty of ability during her juvenile campaign, can't be taken lightly either.

The vote goes to LUMACHO who made a solid reappearance over 6f at Southwell last month and will be at home back at 5f having won 3 times over the trip last year. Fortunate Star showed improved form when runner-up at Catterick last time and is second choice ahead of All In The Hips.

George Boughey's filly LUMACHO teed herself up well for this when a returning Southwell third and she can record a fourth 5f success.

(9) Han Solo Berger 16/1, Returned in good form, winning at Southwell and second at Yarmouth (both 5f) last month. Another who can't be discounted in this open sprint.

All three wins here; goes well on soft and 5f is his optimum trip; looks the one to beat.

(4) Mulzim 20/1, Eight wins from 31 Flat runs. Likely needed the run when sixth of 8 in handicap (66/1) at Yarmouth (5f, heavy) on reappearance 28 days ago, never nearer. Starting to look well handicapped.
Needs to improve a good deal on below-par reappearance, and yet to show he handles the mud.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will do well. However, some horses that may be in the running for the top three positions are 12/1 (6) JOJO RABBIT, 4/1 (10) SHOWALONG, and 2.25/1 (7) FANTASY MASTER. 12/1 (6) JOJO RABBIT is a C&D winner and is well treated, while 4/1 (10) SHOWALONG had a good second place finish in a recent handicap race. 2.25/1 (7) FANTASY MASTER has won all three races at this location and distance and was a creditable second in a recent race at Ascot. However, it is important to note that horse racing is unpredictable and anything can happen on race day.

FANTASY MASTER hit the crossbar in a competitive contest at Ascot 10 days ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. Recon Mission has also been knocking hard on the door of late and is an obvious threat to the selection. Lipsink is entitled to improve for his encouraging seasonal return at Windsor last month, while Han Solo Berger completes the shortlist.

Several possibilities in this sprint. LIPSINK ran well on his Windsor reappearance last month and is narrowly preferred to Recon Mission and Fantasy Master.

Showalong is dangerous but the vote goes to FANTASY MASTER (nap) whose second at Ascot suggests he's ready to strike.

Returned to form with good second at Pontefract and has claims if he can back that up.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Nottingham Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horse that is predicted to do well and likely to finish in 1st place is 1.38/1 (5) ON THE RIVER, who has had two wins in two runs this year and has a fair 3 lb rise. The horse that is predicted to finish in 2nd place is 5.5/1 (3) STRONGBOWE, who returned to form with a good second place finish at Pontefract and has possibilities off the same mark. The horse that is predicted to finish in 3rd place is 5/1 (1) LAST HOORAH, who showed signs of a revival at Chelmsford and looks interesting if he can build on that with blinkers back on.

ON THE RIVER has won both of his starts for these connections in recent weeks and a 3lb rise for the latest of those victories at Beverley may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick here. Strongbowe only found one too good at Pontefract last time and could well make the frame once again, while Last Hoorah edges out Dandy Maestro to be best of the rest.

ON THE RIVER didn't appear to have a great deal in hand when following up his Pontefract success at Beverley 12 days ago, but he arguably went for home a bit earlier than ideal and a 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from completing the hat-trick. An on-song Dandy Maestro would be a threat off this mark and Strongbowe shouldn't be far away if backing up his latest effort, for all that faster ground would be ideal.

This can go to the progressive ON THE RIVER, who made it 2-2 for his new yard when beating a clear second on soft ground at Beverley.

LTO Selection:

16:45 Nottingham Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 3/1 (4) AMAZING 2nd place: 4/1 (2) STARNBERG 3rd place: 5.5/1 (3) KHINJANI

KHINJANI joins the handicap ranks on a workable mark and given she has C&D experience under similar conditions to the forecast going, she appeals strongly on her return to action. Starnberg had a busier juvenile campaign and showed improvement when blinkers were applied twice towards the back end of the season. He has been gelded during his winter break and can to go well if ready to roll. Macho Sun is also considered.

Roger Varian's Siyouni filly AMAZING has improved with each of her three runs and is fancied to open her account now she steps into handicap company for the first time. Ed Walker's daughter of Sir Percy Khinjani also brings some potential and is feared most ahead of in-form maiden Edmund Ironside and the returning Starnberg.

A tricky race in which Ed Walker's handicap newcomer KHINJANI gets the vote ahead of Starnberg

(6) Fen Tiger 16/1, Seventh of 11 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 10 days ago. Conditions in his favour and will be a danger to all if he reproduces something akin to his peak 2022 form.
Very consistent from last June to October; fighting chance if back to that form.

(2) Made For You 40/1, Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles. Last of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fakenham (20f, soft, 9/1) 33 days ago. Worth a second look on handicap debut in this sphere.
Well treated if transferring the pick of his hurdles form back to the Flat.

(8) Rick Blaine 4/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2020. 7/2, very good second of 8 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) 19 days ago, missing break. Back up in trip and he's a must for the shortlist.
Went very close at Windsor last month; possibilities off same mark back up in distance.

(5) She's All In Gold 9/1, Tongue strap on for 1st time in this code/first run since leaving Oliver Greenall when fourth of 9 in handicap (20/1) at Southwell (16.5f) 37 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Cheekpieces back on.
Shaped encouragingly at Southwell last month on return from lengthy layoff.

(7) Ship To Shore 11/1, Good second of 9 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, heavy, 9/1) 19 days ago. Back up in trip and no surprise if he's again involved in the finish.
Strong-finishing second over 11.5f at Windsor last time; interesting back up in trip.

50/1(+24%)
(4) Chankaya 50/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. 18/1, eighth of 14 in novice hurdle at Chepstow (16f, good) 15 days ago, well positioned. Visored for 1st time. Others make greater appeal.
0-6 overall; not seen on Flat since 2021; something to prove in first-time visor.
LTO Selection:

17:20 Nottingham Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 5/1 (1) TIGERTEN 2nd: 4/1 (8) RICK BLAINE 3rd: 4.5/1 (7) SHIP TO SHORE

Several have questions to answer for one reason or another, not least Casa Loupi, who was progressive over hurdles a couple of years ago but hasn't seen action in either code for 582 days. To counter that, his yard is in flying form and he still warrants serious consideration, but the vote goes to recent Salisbury winner TIGERTEN, who has proven match-fitness and little to fear from this test of stamina. Blue Hawaii completes the shortlist after her near-miss at Southwell on Monday.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap. The pick of them could be RICK BLAINE, who has got back on track since undergoing a wind op and he was beaten a whisker when dead-heating for second off this mark at Windsor last month. Stepping back up in trip here will be in his favour. Casa Loupi's wellbeing has to be taken on trust following a lengthy absence but he's interesting all the same and is feared most ahead of Fen Tiger and Tigerten.

Southwell runner-up BLUE HAWAII is taken to go one better turned out quickly. Ship To Shore is second choice.

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.

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.
