Nottingham

2.40pm Manoori
3pt Win bet
Current Betfair price: 2.44
Best available elsewhere: 6/4 (Boyles, William Hill)

Manoori had three runs as a 2 year old, the first of which was unsurprisingly rather green.  The second and third outings showed a vast amount of promise.  Unlucky in his second outing, being ambushed on the line by the winner after showing great turn of foot coming up the Kempton straight.  He made no mistake with his third run three weeks later at Wolverhampton.
Manoori was very unlucky with his first run of this season at York.  Trapped on the rail for much of the race, he found the gap too late to catch the leaders, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be his day given that performance coupled with the drop in class. Manoori finished that race at York alongsode Mr. Optomistic, who faced no such problems with traffic, but who went on a week later to win at Ayr against a similar field (albeit a furlong longer did suit).
The betting market will tell us a lot about how connections feel about Atiya's fitness.

Tipperary

7.30pm Atiya
1pt Each Way bet
Current Betfair price: 11.0
Best available elsewhere: 10/1 (Boyles)

Although this is Atiya's first outing of the season, there is a lot to be hopeful for a good run from her in this company.  Atiya put in a respectable performance, finishing 5th at Gowran Park in a Maiden last year.  Not that noteworthy we may think, but interesting is the horse behind her was Jedward, who this season has run well into 3rd at The Curragh last weekend off a mark of 73.  Our selection runs today off 58.  I'm not expecting a similar level of improvement from Atiya, but we don't need that amout of improvement to be competitive in this race.

Thanks,
