2:50 Nottingham Tips

After some consistent runs last season, she's made what looks a step forward to the season with a course and distance win last time out. Although up 3 pounds for that win, she looks better than the weight rise.

Empirical makes his handicap debut after being well beaten on the AW in a slowly run race at Kempton. He gets a fair opening mark, and the yard is a useful 10-56 with first-time handicappers in the past two years. It is also his first run after being gelded, and the yard is a very useful 11-37 with these in the past two years. He is effective at the trip and looks overpriced at around 4/1.

Inferno enters the handicaps now, having run 3rd behind a 2/7 favourite rated 82 last time out. This already looks easier.

Drops to a mark of 66. The trainer does well here with 3-year-old horses, so it's no surprise to see this horse run a better race at Nottingham.

Had a long break since August, so no telling really how Bosom Pals will run. Was athletic on previous outings. Has only raced 7f, so I like the EW because we don't know how he'll finish.
