6:15 Nottingham Tips

Blessed Voyager made a winning debut in a Newbury maiden that has since produced a subsequent winner. That form stands out in this three-runner novice stakes. He was sent off at odds-on when favorite at Thirsk, but a winner's penalty proved too much to overcome; that penalty now expires. Rated 89, he is by some margin the highest-rated runner in the field, 14 lb clear of Baddaddan, and his Timeform rating of 81 further underlines the class advantage he holds over his rivals. With Hector Crouch back in the saddle and the drop in grade offsetting the weight, he has an outstanding opportunity to get back to winning ways.
