£9 Racedays At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap
Prediction Leader
Stardancer (IRE)
0%
Promise in AW novices and again when third of ten at Doncaster on her handicap debut last June (7f, good); disappointed at Yarmouth the following month and absent since; has undergone wind surgery during his layoff; drops in class, up in trip and tongue tied for his return; still has potential.
Rest of field
Penelope Valentine (GB)
0%
Won two AW handicaps (7f/8.6f) over the winter; the handicapper may have caught up now and she still has to prove she can be as effective on turf.
Leadenhall (GB)
0%
6lb lower than when winning at Haydock last summer (1m, good to firm); two creditable runs in defeat this season and he now drops in class.
Great Blasket (IRE)
0%
C&D winner; 5lb lower than for his last success; ran a solid race on this month's return to turf at Windsor; one to consider.
Prodigal Son (GB)
0%
Blinkers have helped him this spring, seeing off five rivals at Bath (1m, firm) last month and then finishing close up in third back at Bath (1m2f, firm) 19 days ago; returning to a mile can help and Mason Paetel's claim is a useful one.
The Sweet Escape (GB)
0%
Saw off 14 rivals when narrowly winning over C&D last month (Class 6); also went close in a Class 6 at Leicester this month but either side of that he was unplaced in Class 5 events; others preferred for the win.
Bass Player (IRE)
0%
Ended 2025 with two good runs but he has been well short of that level in two runs this year, a wind op before the latest making no difference; tongue tie returns; risky despite his reduced mark.
