Nottingham, Brighton and Wolverhampton (a,w. evening)

there are some big fields at Nottingham today, but we expect Godolphin´s winning run to continue with Saboteur (Saeed bin Suroor/ Frankie Dettori) in the 2yo maiden at 15.10 CET. The best race here is the 10 furlongs handcap at 16.40, which with 16 runners looks wide open, but consistent Gala Casino Star (Richard Fahey/ Freddie Tylicki) looks a solid each-way selection. Tylicki, fighting it out for the apprentices´ title with David Probert, also has possibilities on Jeremy Glover´s La Capriosa in the 6 furlongs handicap at 18.10. The sport on offer at the other two flat meetings is very low grade stuff, but Godolphin also send a 2yo to Wolverhampton, and Graymalkin (Ted Durcan) can possibly oblige in the handicap at 21.00. Also here, Ralph Beckett and Seb Sanders have good chances of landing a double with King of Windsor in the 2yo maiden at 19.30 and Penang Princess in a 4 horse race half an hour later. At Brighton, Ocean Countess (Jenny Feilden/ Cathy Gannon), an easy winer over 7 furlongs here last time, can follow up over a furlong further at 16.00, while Blue Noodles (David Evans/ Andrew Heffernan) ca complete a hat-trick in the 7 furlongs handicap at 17.30. Jeremy Noseda´s only runner of the day Charger (Shane Kelly) should go close in the 1 1/2 maiden at 17.00.
