UK Horse Racing Tips

In the EBF Stallions Toteexacta Nottinghamshire Oaks Stakes (4.00) at Nottingham on Wednesday, Intimation is one of the lowest rated fillies in the race, according to the BHA, but remains open to any amount of improvement after just four starts and looks worthy of support. The Dubawi filly was a beaten favourite in the Suffolk Stakes over 1 mile 1 furlong at Newmarket on her seasonal reappearance in April, keeping on to finish seventh of 14, beaten 3 lengths, behind Knight Owl, but that form has already been franked by the third, Revolutionist, who won the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar on Monday.

She’s entitled to improve for that run, her first since last July, and the step back up to 1 mile 2 furlongs is almost certainly in her favour so, while she officially has 10lb to find with Persona Grata, for example, she may well be up to this stiffer task. She’s yet to race on going faster than good but, although the going at Nottingham is currently good to firm, race is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday, so underfoot conditions could be ideal.

Ryan Moore has an outstanding 6-13 (46%) strike rate on older horses for Sir Michael Stoute so far this season, so everything looks in place for a big run.
