Nottingham Race Fields - 2nd Dec 2024

MONKSTOWN AVENUE (trap 6) will be anxious to take charge of things instantly in this field and he will be a popular fancy to make every post a winner. Punters will note the recent win of Wakawaka Eh Eh (trap 2) and respect. Punters often come for Swift Nikita (trap 4) but she would need to avoid trouble early on.

FEORA KATE (trap 5) is enjoying the fame that comes with success and will be anxious to add another to her tally - this represents a chance to do so. Candle Mountain (trap 2) is one of the leading players and can give the selection most to do. One Cool Cancun (trap 4) has medal possibilities if things go to plan, whereas the rest may find it tough.

MANUKA DUCHESS (trap 1) looks the likely pacemaker in this contest and will have to be caught. That won't be easy for any of these. Coolcroo Saphire (trap 5) has had the bookies running for cover before and this represents a solid chance. Autumn Fame (trap 2) is often in demand in the market and won't be friendless here either.

THE OTHER DELBOY (trap 2) is proving popular with punters and there's no obvious reason why they won't be back for more as he has a big chance. Pipkin (trap 3) is turned around quickly after her latest race and should go well. Homelander (trap 4) could be overpriced as he looks capable of making the numbers.

While accepting LINKS STOKER (trap 1) will need his fair share of good fortune, he still rates the most likely winner and is given the nod. Starcash Best (trap 6) can be expected to give a good account and he could be hunting up the tip late on. Lisnakill Beacon (trap 5) is a contender but he needs to dig deep when push comes to shove.

The main goal of INVINCIA JET (trap 3) is playing Pied Piper from the outset and there's every chance that he can play a fine tune throughout. Mull Of Kintyre (trap 2) has been kept ticking over quite nicely and enters the reckoning. The Other Wow (trap 6) is often one of the focal points in the market and can be shortlisted.

The task ahead of CRAFTY PARDISO (trap 1) today looks very makeable and, as such, the bookies are unlikely to be very flamboyant with their chalk. The recent win of Good Romeo (trap 3) was very encouraging and he is the danger on the back of it. Tens On (trap 6) can play a part in the contest and should at least make the frame.

One thing that can be relied upon is that GOOD KNICK (trap 1) won't go shirking the issue and he is likely to come out on top with a degree of good luck. Teaboy Brownie (trap 6) is a capable force at this level of combat and he should be bang there at the line. Niosfearrnabolt (trap 2) looks to have fair claims and can make the frame.

SWIFT SALE (trap 6) is standing in the strike zone and should put these rivals to the sword with an incident-free round. That Sound (trap 4) looks to have a big part to play and is taken to chase the selection home. Billis Starlet (trap 2) won't be far away if putting her best paw forward.

The odds chalked up about SALACRES TIPSTER (trap 2) are expected to be a true reflection of his chances and he can have the measure of these rivals. Sambar Kian (trap 3) has a good wins-to-runs ratio from this trap and is the most likely party pooper. Allowdale Cazoo (trap 6) will be brimming with confidence following her success not that long ago.

The layers will be reluctant to offer up a juicy morsel about VALE BLUEBELL (trap 1), as she should get the job done against these today. Wolf Moon (trap 6) should be up to keeping the judge on his toes and can provide the link for forecasts. Loxleys Forest (trap 2) had to work hard for the win but did so commendably.

The bookmakers won't want to go laying PLATINUM HONEY (trap 3) down the book as she really looks the part in this field. Plaza Keano (trap 5) has a shout on the clock and will figure on many shortlists. A solid effort is expected from Ratchies Rasmus (trap 1), but he may come up a place or two short.
