Race previews from Weatherbys
It is an absolute pleasure to be sponsoring all six races across the card at Nottingham this afternoon, and trainer Paul Midgley bids for a fourthvictoryinsixyearsintheopening weatherbysshop.co.uk Handicap. Paul Mulrennan takes the ride aboard Masterclass, who beat the reopposing Snow Berry in good style over course and distance back in May and arrives on 3lb better terms, whilst Yazaman is themountofMarkWinn,anothercourse and distance winner looking to benefit fromaslidingmark.
JonathanPortman’sSparklingPinkbids for back-to-back victories when lining up in the Weatherbys Private Bank NurseryHandicap, running out a good winneronhandicapdebutatPontefract lasttimeandraisedjust4lbs.Akabusiis theotherlast-time-outwinneramongst the field, Michael Keady’s Mohaather gelding bumped up 3lbs following a course and distance success here last month.

App EBF Maiden Fillies’ Stakes victor First Instinct is now a Listed winner and thesix-furlongraceshouldagainprove aninformativecontest.Thetrainingduo ofDrRichardNewlandandJamieInsole have enjoyed a good year with their
two-year-olds and Ardad filly ArDiddy DumDum caught the eye when fifth at Windsorlasttime,finishingwithrunning left having been denied a clear run. Ollie Sangster’s Piazza may prove her biggest danger, having run too freely on two starts so far but emerging with creditbehindsomesmarttypes.
CraigLidster’sTripleForcecouldhardly have been more impressive than when making all on route to an almost-ten length success at this track in June and has backed that up since with a victory and a second at Redcar last time. The four-year-old returns to the sceneofthatwide-marginvictoryinthe Weatherbys Bettrends Handicap and the consistent sort could still be welltreated.
Tom Clover’s Invisible sets a good standard in the Weatherbys Digital SolutionsMaidenFillies’Stakes,anditis surelyonlyamatterofatimebeforethe 77-ratedPinatubofillyshedshermaiden tagafterfourconsistentlygoodrunsthis season. Song N Dance wasn’t too far behind a subsequent Listed winner on debut last year and should improve for hersolidreturnoutingatChepstow.
TheWeatherbysRacingBankHandicap closes the card as Ravishing Beauty attemptstodefya7lbriseintheweights for her mightily impressive victory at Pontefract last time.

LUNAR FORCE was correctly demoted after causing interference here last week but that confirms she’s in good nick and able to race from 3lb lower, she can break her maiden tag. Gypsy Nation did it well over C&D last month and is feared most, ahead of Toptime.

THE PRETTIEST STAR ticks plenty of boxes on paper and starting out at an ordinary level, she may well be up to the task on debut. Ar Diddy Dum Dum has displayed ability both starts and is the obvious alternative, though it wouldn’t be a major surprise were Moira Express to show a lot more this time.

INVISIBLE isn’t obviously capable of better now but she has several solid pieces of form to her name, including when second in handicap company over C&D 3 weeks ago so she rates the percentage call. Day of Grace and Great Mates are potential improvers.
