Based on the total ratings, the top contenders for the 7.25 Nottingham race are:

1. Protest Rally (IRE) with a rating of 358.9.
2. Mereside Diva (IRE) with a rating of 358.1.
3. Fayasel (IRE) with a rating of 316.7.
4. Al Muzn (IRE) with a rating of 299.3.

The horse Protest Rally (IRE) tops the rating list and is worth a special mention. This lightly raced winner has shown improvement in its recent races, notably winning a 12-runner handicap at Southwell 19 days ago. The comments suggest further progress is in the offing, which makes it a strong contender for this race.

Mereside Diva (IRE) comes in close second in terms of ratings and looks competitive based on the recent form. The horse’s fourth-place finish in a handicap race at Hamilton 16 days ago was respectable and suggests this race could be within its capabilities, especially since it’s moving down in grade.

Third-rated Fayasel (IRE) is a winner at Wolverhampton in March and had a creditable performance at Kempton 20 days ago, finishing third in a handicap race. The horse is making its turf debut but should not be dismissed as it shows potential for a good performance.

Al Muzn (IRE), rated fourth, is yet to win but has the potential to improve. After a fifth-place finish at Lingfield, the horse has since been gelded and could show progress now entering into handicap races.

Looking beyond the ratings, other contenders like Tees George and King Of The Jungle (IRE) may warrant consideration despite their lower ratings. Tees George had a decent third-place finish at Doncaster and could improve now moving into handicaps, while King Of The Jungle (IRE) is from a yard known for their success in handicaps, suggesting that progress is certainly not ruled out. As always, monitor the market for additional insights.

Based on the total ratings, the top contenders for the 7.55 Nottingham race are:

1. Laheg (FR) with a rating of 402.6.
2. Blind Beggar (IRE) with a rating of 360.4.
3. Bert Kibbler with a rating of 345.1.
4. Majeski Man (IRE) with a rating of 331.4.

Laheg (FR) is the top-rated horse, having achieved its latest win at Wolverhampton in December. While its performance in the turf race at Hamilton 16 days ago was not its best, it was still a respectable show. Notably, blinkers will be applied for the first time in this race which could make a significant difference. The rating and these factors make Laheg (FR) a potential favourite for this race.

Blind Beggar (IRE) comes in second in the ratings. Its latest victory was at Chelmsford in February. Despite a below-par performance at Leicester 17 days ago, it led for a considerable part of the race which indicates potential. We could see improved performance in this race.

Third-rated Bert Kibbler’s latest win was at Southwell in March. Additionally, the horse had a good second-place finish at Ayr this month. However, it had a less impressive performance at Wetherby recently. It would need to overcome this recent blip to come out on top in this race.

Finally, Majeski Man (IRE) is fourth in the ratings. Its career-best performance was when it won a handicap race at Beverley 14 days ago, making all. The 4lb rise may not prevent a repeat performance, making it a strong contender.

Outside of these ratings, Lipsink (IRE), despite a lower rating, shows promise. Its second-place finish in a handicap at Windsor on its reappearance in April demonstrates potential. Though its form in the C&D has been lacking, there’s the possibility for Lipsink (IRE) to bounce back.

As always, keep an eye on the market for the most recent trends and factors that could influence the race’s outcome.

The top contenders for the 8.25 Nottingham race, based on the total ratings, are:

1. Vitralite (IRE) with a rating of 422.1.
2. Bobby Dassler (IRE) with a rating of 285.5.
3. Tipperary Moon (IRE) with a rating of 279.7.
4. Back From Dubai (IRE) with a rating of 265.1.

Vitralite (IRE) is the clear frontrunner in terms of ratings. Despite some disappointing performances in Hong Kong, Vitralite has returned to form upon his return to Britain, winning handicaps at Chelmsford and Yarmouth last month. His third-place finish in a hat-trick bid at Bath 29 days ago was creditable, further consolidating his position as a strong contender in this race.

Bobby Dassler (IRE), with the second-highest rating, also merits attention. His fourth-place finish in the same race where Vitralite placed third at Bath 29 days ago was commendable. Therefore, Bobby Dassler should not be taken lightly.

Tipperary Moon (IRE) is third in the ratings. While he finished a bit below form at Pontefract 36 days ago, it’s important to note that he was running on and this will be his first run after leaving Ivan Furtado’s yard, which could impact his performance.

Back From Dubai (IRE) is fourth in the ratings. He had a rough race at Pontefract 27 days ago, but it’s worth noting that this will be his first run after leaving Roy Bowring’s yard. Changes in training could bring about a different performance, so he might be worth a look.

Outside the top ratings, Silver Screen, despite a lower total score, could potentially surprise. Her fifth-place finish at Doncaster on her reappearance 32 days ago was below form, but a return to a shorter trip might suit her better. She has been close from this mark before, suggesting she could be a dark horse in this race.

As always, the most recent trends and factors close to the race time could significantly influence the race’s outcome.

The top contenders for the 9.00 Nottingham race, based on the total ratings, are:

1. Sicario (IRE) with a rating of 291.0.
2. Pound Off You with a rating of 250.8.
3. Manyana with a rating of 196.5.
4. Affair with a rating of 194.3.

Sicario (IRE) leads the field in terms of total ratings. He had his latest win at Southwell in February. Despite finishing eighth at Catterick 15 days ago, he is wearing a tongue strap for the first time on the Flat which might make a difference to his performance. With these considerations, Sicario is definitely one to watch in this race.

Pound Off You comes in with the second-highest total rating. He last scored at Redcar over this trip in September 2021. However, he has not been seen in action for 19 months, which could affect his performance.

In the third spot is Manyana, whose recent form has not been promising, finishing last at Southwell 42 days ago. However, his rating keeps him in contention.

Affair, with the fourth-highest total rating, has had eighteen runs since his last win in 2020, and he’s coming off a 103-day break. His recent form suggests he has some work to do to make an impact here.

Outside of the top-rated contenders, Sugar Candie, despite a lower total score, merits a special mention. She has been a maiden but posted a respectable fifth-place finish at Salisbury 26 days ago after a 5-month break. With cheekpieces on for the first time, she is one to consider in this race.

As always, the most recent trends and factors close to the race time could significantly influence the race’s outcome.
