13:47 Nottingham — Race Preview & Tips
The 13:47 at Nottingham on good ground presents a competitive juvenile contest, but our top pick is KNIGHTSAIL, who looks poised to break his maiden tag here.
This David Menuisier-trained colt, ridden by David Probert, arrives with promising form figures of 73-. That second start at Leicester showcased significant progression from his debut, finishing a solid third. Menuisier is known for patiently bringing his youngsters along, often seeing them improve significantly on their third outing. With Probert booked, a jockey in excellent form and one who knows the Nottingham track well, this partnership commands respect.
The market has clearly latched onto his potential, installing him as the EVS favourite, which speaks volumes about the confidence from connections and smart money. He should relish the good ground and has the breeding to improve further. All the indicators suggest Knightsail is ready to deliver.
For those seeking an each-way alternative, QARREEB offers intriguing value. His consistent placed efforts mean he’s rarely far away and could pick up a minor cheque if Knightsail doesn't fire. However, our main confidence rests firmly with Knightsail to get the job done.
