Hospitality At Nottingham Racecourse Handicap
Prediction Leader
Orangesandlemons
0%
Dual winner, with the most recent success coming over 8.5f here in October (good to soft); solid reappearance at Wolverhampton in April but was well held here 25 days ago (trainer's rep said she would prefer an easier surface); steps up in trip and she's a contender if the ground is slower than good.
Rest of field
A Major Payne (GB)
0%
0-17 but he's finished in the first three on 11 occasions, including in each of his three starts this year; beaten a neck here over 8.5f last summer and he's a solid contender once again.
Something Splendid
0%
Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade.
Caph Star (GB)
0%
Unraced on ground slower than good; off the mark for this yard when winning over C&D in April and he ran another solid race when third of ten at Kempton (1m3f, AW) next time; however, he was reported to have ran flat at Newmarket 19 days ago and needs to bounce back; hood removed.
Kasgani
0%
0-5 in Ireland for Dermot Weld but he caught the eye on his stable debut over C&D 46 days ago, staying on for third behind Caph Star having been denied a clear run; that was his first start since October and this unexposed gelding is on the shortlist.
Abando (GER)
0%
Ex-German; well held in two maidens for Marco Botti last year and a similar story in two novice events for this stable; gelded since last seen in February and has cheekpieces back on for his handicap debut, so he's worth keeping an eye on in the betting.
Primo Lara (IRE)
0%
Dual winner for Jane Chapple-Hyam but has been quite disappointing since the latest of those wins; held in two starts since undergoing wind surgery and blinkers are now tried instead of cheekpieces; down another 3lb.
No Knee Never (IRE)
0%
Four wins on the AW in Class 6 company since December (6f-8.5f); respectable efforts on his last two outings but he possibly didn't quite get home over this trip at Ripon last month; each-way contender.
Star Time (GB)
0%
Dead-heated at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) in November 2024 and he was runner-up over that C&D last February; showed he retains ability when fifth at Kempton (1m3f, AW) on his first start for 433 days last month and may come on for it, although this drop back in trip may not be ideal.
Give Me The Night (IRE)
0%
0-8; placed in a maiden here last June but he's been well held in six starts since, five of which were handicaps; steps up in trip with better needed; others preferred.
