Nottingham Race Fields - 13th Jan 2025

KELVA BRAHM (trap 6) is expected to be one of the shorter priced runners of the meeting given the obvious chance he appears to have been given. The drop in class could work for Honeygar Jane (trap 4) and she is rightly feared. Invincia Jet (trap 3) showed a similar bunch the way home recently, so is entitled to respect.

Those expecting decent odds about ZOROS BOO (trap 6) are likely to be disappointed, but there shouldn't be any disappointment in the race itself. Swift Doireann (trap 1) looks the type that will be up for any challenge and will be a threat to all. Ferryforth Mary (trap 2) could well keep the judge on his toes and isn't out of it.

Punters will only be too aware of the recent home victory of BLACKFRIARS BETH (trap 6) and could be justified in anticipating more of the same. Burgess Ranger (trap 1) doesn't throw the towel in and shouldn't be too far away at the close of play. Boppin Billie (trap 3) has prospects of making the money and is advised as the tricast link.

TORY YVONNE (trap 6) would seem to have a little bit in hand in this and can prove her superiority if enjoying the rub of the green early on. Doyouloveher (trap 4) has high prospects of making the frame and could bustle up the selection. Punters may come for Swift Kipper (trap 3) again, take note if they do.

BOGGER CASH (trap 1) should be up for this challenge today and has the profile to account for this quality of opposition. Sambar Kian (trap 3) is enjoying the fame that comes with success and should make a fist of it.

The gravy train could well stop with BILLIS STARLET (trap 2) in this contest as she certainly looks on the right track to give these rivals the runaround. Saracen (trap 5) won't be shy following his recent win and he looks the forecast link. Shockwave Voodoo (trap 3) may not be too far away at the death and is worth including in combination bets.

HOLDING HARRY (trap 6) should be highly motivated for this assignment and he gets a semi-confident vote to go about his business in fine fashion. Scooby The Duke (trap 3) shouldn't be removing the white jacket and waving it in surrender at any stage. Slim Kerry (trap 1) is well housed on the rails and should make her presence felt.

BUTTER THE EDGES (trap 5) takes the eye in this line-up and he should only need to avoid the trouble spots to be spearheading the formation at the wire. If Chanceme Dec (trap 1) sticks to the rails, he could be in the right place at the right time to pick up any pieces. Pipkin (trap 3) is respected on the back of being a recent winner.

WOLF JET (trap 2) may have a trick or two up his sleeve and he could hold all the aces when push comes to shove late on. There'll be those punters that look towards Ballycowen Mila (trap 3) with good reason and she is very much a threat. Makaylas Dream (trap 4) didn't look the most likely winner in running but dug deep and is a player.

HOLLYHILL ARCHIE (trap 5) has scant experience of this venue but that is deemed more of a positive than a negative and a bold show is anticipated. Bramble Tonali (trap 6) will be better for today's experience but that's not to say he isn't a big player.

BRAMBLE LINTON (trap 2) looks the part and should generate plenty of stir in the ring. Barring serious mishap, he can get to grips with the matter in hand very quickly. Starcash Best (trap 4) will be aiming high, but may have his ego deflated by a couple of these.

If things go to plan, supporters of ZILZAL (trap 1) would be entitled to feel very hopeful that he can prove too good for this level of opposition.
