Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Deedaydiva heads our ratings on 87 and gets the nod in this ten-furlong Class 4 at Nottingham, where she looks the one to beat on merit. Bust A Move is the main danger, only two pounds behind on 85, so the margin is narrow rather than decisive, while Beach Point (81) and Borjina (80) are the others most likely to get involved if the soft ground suits. The rest look to have more to find, with Salvezza well adrift on 56, and Deedaydiva's superior rating makes her the most solid option in a competitive nine-runner field. Deedaydiva is our selection.

Rossa Ryan
Alan King 0/17
Deedaydiva comes here fresh from a third last time out just 15 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 87 is yet to win in her last five starts, but she's the one to beat from stall seven.

A. J. Martin 0/6
Royal Saxo is yet to win in his last five starts and has finished sixth, seventh, fifth, then a pair of ninths, so the trend is a gentle upturn. A 44-day break and 137 lb from stall eight temper that, though our rating of 79 sits above his official 76.

Billy Garritty
Michael & David Easterby 3/17
Bust A Move has run over today's trip and going, won five starts back and was second the run after, while his 85 rating ranks him second of nine; the main risk is a 207-day absence after a fifth last time out and two weaker efforts before that.

William Knight 0/9
Beach Point arrives in good heart, third last time out and third two starts back, with a win four starts back and a second three starts back, and he's fresh from a 13-day break having run over today's trip and going before. The one risk is a hefty 136 lb from stall one.

Borjina arrives in solid form, second last time out and placed in three of her last six, with a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip. Our rating of 80 sits above her official 75, though she is yet to win in her last six and 133 lb is a hefty burden.

George Downing
Ed Walker 7/24
Salvezza is winless in his last three, finishing fourth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and 55 days off the track is a concern at 130 lb. Our rating of 56 ranks him last of nine, though the yard's 7 from 26 in the last fortnight is a genuine positive.

Lucky Luna has run over today's trip and going and was second three starts back, but a ninth last time out and a fifth before that show her fading, and 129 lb from stall 3 is no help. Our rating of 78 ranks her sixth of nine, so she looks a midfield type.

Glenna was second last time out and has been in the frame in most recent starts, with a win five starts back, but a seventh two starts back and a ranking of seventh of nine on our figures make her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going, and 21 days since her last run is fine.

David Egan
John Butler 0/18
Ghost Story is winless in her last six, though a second last time out, 12 days ago, shows she's in decent heart, and she has run over today's trip and going. Ranked eighth of nine on our figures, with a ninth two starts back, she's hard to fancy.
