I would like to take this opportunity to thank our generous sponsors British EBF and Racing TV for supporting today’s seven race card, racing on the outer track for the first time this season. Our feature race today is the Listed Nottinghamshire Oaks, a one mile two-furlong race for Class 1, Listed fillies and mares who are aged four years old and upwards. Entries for this year’s renewal boasts exceptional quality including three international runners from Ireland as well as Sir Michael Stoute looking to find victory once again, as he has in 2019 and 2022. With a total of 10 runners declared, this is the biggest field since 2015 when Mutatis Mtandis won the feature against a field of 13.
A special thank you to Fairfax Saddles for their continued sponsorship and support of our Leading Trainers and Jockey championships. Please join us in congratulating last year’s top three trainers and leading jockey being presented by Fairfax Saddles in the parade ring before racing.
As well as the excellent racing this afternoon, we invite you to enjoy Winning Plaice and Ann’s Tearoom in this relaxed and friendly setting. Upgrade to our idyllic Sherwoods Restaurant o ering an afternoon of hospitality while overlooking the racecourse for one of our upcoming fixtures. All information is available on our website below.

Stewards Note:
TFRHHHII BHAFORM
TIMEFORM VIEW Foaled February 12. €48,000 yearling, Soldier’s Call filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 2-y-o 5f winner Ardenode and 5f-6f winner Dandy Dinmont. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of her on debut.
RACECOURSE DEBUT
TFRHHHII BHAFORM
TIMEFORM VIEW Foaled March 16. Showcasing filly. Sister to smart 6f winner Ehraz. Dam unraced, half-sister to smart winner up to 5.4f Pearl Secret. Makes plenty of appeal on paper and she’s well worth noting if strong in the betting.
RACECOURSE DEBUT
TFRHHHII BHAFORM

RACECOURSE DEBUT
TFRHHHHH BHAFORM
TIMEFORM VIEW Foaled April 12. 80,000 gns yearling, Blue Point filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Apricot Twist. Dam, 7f-8.3f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 2m Rhombus from family of smart 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Gutaifan, won Flying Childers Stakes/Prix Robert Papin. Noteworthy newcomer.
RACECOURSE DEBUT
TFRHHHHI BHAFORM 4
TIMEFORM VIEW Foaled January 25. €1405,000 yearling, Expert Eye filly. Offered something to work on when fourth in 8-runner Musselburgh novice (5f) on debut in April, pushed along halfway and keeping on. Entitled to have derived a good deal from that and likely there’s better to come.

TREASURE STORM: Following its run on 8/4/2023 it was reported that the horse was hampered at the start.
Probable S.P’s: 2-1 Snafiya (IRE), 5-2 Treasure Storm (IRE), 11-2 Defying Orders (IRE), 6-1 Exponista (GB), 8-1 Mademoisellecancan (GB)
PLAY SMARTER
The market should prove useful with 4 of the 5 making their debuts but without the benefit of those clues it could be worth siding with SNAFIYA. She makes plenty of appeal for a yard adept at readying a newcomer and the booking of William Buick rates an obvious positive. Treasure Storm, the sole runner with experience, heads the dangers.

MASO BASTIE looked a good prospect when overcoming inexperience to score at Lingfield in December and James Fanshawe’s son of Churchill appeals as the sort to go on improving so gets the nod at the chief expense of Artisand, who wasn’t seen to best effect when fifth at Lingfield on his return. City Cyclone and Tempered Soul can both have a say too in an open contest. TIMEFORM

PLAY SMARTER
MEXICALI ROSE arrives fit from a good reappearance run at Leicester and gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut for Ralph Beckett. Creme Chantilly is another who could have more to offer now switching to handicap company and heads the dangers along with Flame of Kodiac.

PLAY SMARTER
Sir Michael Stoute saddled the winner of this last year and CRYSTAL CAPRICE could be another for the yard. You can draw a line through her effort on the all-weather in October, prior to which she looked most progressive and hopes are high that she will kick on again this season now moving up in trip (untried beyond 1m but pedigree augurs well stamina-wise). Golden Lyra rates the main danger, while Sunset Shiraz, who looks the pick of the Irish raiders, is third choice ahead of Life of Dreams.

TFRHHHHI BHA62
FORM 0544
TIMEFORM VIEW Promise in maidens/minor event this year and wasn’t seen to best effect on handicap debut when fourth at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/4) 32 days ago, needing a stronger gallop. Fancied to be in the mix on turf debut.
TFRHHIII BHA62
FORM 400-5
TIMEFORM VIEW Finished down the field on 3 outings last year for William Haggas and failed to take a step forward on return sent handicapping (in cheekpieces) when fifth at Bath 11 days ago. More required.
TFRHHHII BHA60
FORM 000-40
TIMEFORM VIEW Found some improvement when fourth of 8 on handicap debut at Lingfield (7f, AW) on return last month but not in the same form at Southwell since. Back at 6f and bounce back required in first-time headgear.
14Apr
TFRHHHII BHA60
FORM 54-0045
TIMEFORM VIEW Modest maiden who ran respectably in a first-time visor when fourth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) in January. Failed to repeat that effort at Kempton 11 days later and has since left Alice Haynes. Headgear left off.
TFRHHHHH BHA60
FORM 005-42
TIMEFORM VIEW Took a step forward from his reappearance when runner-up at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 17 days ago, slightly inconvenienced by the winner drifting across him. Fully-fledged rider takes over and looks to have serious claims of going one better.

FORM 50-60
TIMEFORM VIEW Low-key start to her career but improved despite not being seen to best effect on handicap debut when mid-field at the Curragh (6f, heavy) just over a fortnight ago. Should have more to offer on her first outing on these shores.

SILKS GRAPHITE took his form up a notch when runner-up at Yarmouth last month and with a fully-fledged rider back on board, Darryll Holland’s charge is fancied to open his account. Ghost Lights is put forward as the main threat on turf debut for the in-form Charles Hills, with Irish-raider Starnight rounding off the shortlist.
