DANIEL CRAGGS General Manager, Nottingham Racecourse
We are delighted to welcome owners, trainers, jockeys, stable staff and racegoers for what promises to be an enjoyable afternoon of competitive racing. Whether you are a regular visitor or attending for the first time, we hope you enjoy everything that Nottingham Racecourse has to offer
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our raceday sponsors Weatherbys for their valued support. We are delighted to welcome Nick Craven and the Weatherbys team to Nottingham Racecourse today and thank them for their work and continued commitment to Nottingham Racecourse and to British Racing. Today’s fixture is also our designated Autism in Racing raceday, and we are proud to be supporting the charity and the important work it undertakes to promote greater accessibility and inclusion within our sport. We are pleased to have the Autism in Racing sensory unit on course today, located next to the Paddock Bar and available for any racegoers who may benefit from a quieter, more relaxed environment during their visit.
With the summer holidays now well underway, we are also delighted to be offering a range of family-friendly activities. Alongside this afternoon’s racing, younger racegoers can enjoy our bouncy castle and garden games, helping to make it a fun day out for all the family
My thanks, as always, go to our owners, trainers, jockeys and stable staff, as well as the dedicated team here at Nottingham Racecourse. From our grounds team to those working across operations, maintenance, catering, sales, marketing and customer relations, their professionalism and commitment ensure every raceday is delivered to the highest standard.
Thank you for your support and for choosing to spend your day with us. We hope you have an enjoyable and successful afternoon and look forward to welcoming you back to Nottingham Racecourse again soon.
Enjoy the racing.

Raceday preview from Weatherbys
We are delighted to be sponsoring the entire card today, which kicks off with the Weatherbys Digital Solutions Maiden Fillies’Stakes at 2:40pm. Richard Hannon’s AuraChampagnedropsbackintripinabid to build on her third at Newbury last time out.MoonlitSurfwentcloseovercourseand distance, improving on her previous efforts. Expect her to be in the finish once more for Owen Burrows and Callum Rodriguez. Yimmna built on her opening effort when postingausefulperformanceatNewmarket. Sheisanotherwhoenterscalculations.
Lola De Valence looks to have found the perfect opportunity to get off the mark in the Weatherbys Global Stallions App EBF Fillies’NoviceStakes Sheshowedabilityat Salisbury when third and finds a winnable looking contest. Newcomer PiperCee could wellgivehermosttothinkaboutunderSam James. Karl Burke has a fair record with his juveniles, so keep an eye on whether the market speaks positively for his latest newcomer.
Last-time-out winner Dissenter steps into handicap company for the first time in the Weatherbys VAT Services Nursery Handicap Stakes. Marcus Tregoning’s daughter of Kodi Bear narrowly got off the mark at Chepstow in a close-fought finish and is fancied to make it backto-back wins. Ed Walker will be hoping a recent gelding operation will change the fortunes of Mobadir. He’ll need to show more this time around, but improvement cannot be ruled out. Fern Clyde and Boleto both already have wins to their
names and complete the shortlist in what looksacompetitiveaffair.

Dawn Of Liberation concedesweightallroundbutisamodelof consistency and should give another good accounthere.
ThefinalraceofthedayistheWeatherbys Racing Bank Handicap Stakes, for threeyear-olds and upwards. Venetian Lion was only narrowly denied last time out for Tom Marquand and William Haggas and is fancied to make amends this time around. ThemePark won on his penultimate outing before finishing second over course and distance. There’s plenty to like about his chancesforNigelTinkler.
