Today’s free horse racing tips: Nottingham and Fakenham – Steve Mullen’s betting preview for Sunday, June 2

NOTTINGHAM

2.10

AL AAKIF doesn’t have a massive amount to beat here on his debut for in-form William Haggas. There are winning two-year-olds over this trip in his close family and he should be a cut above.

Beignet has shown some promise so far when second at Brighton and then fourth here last time which was a better. She can build on that.

2.45

DAL HORRISGLE showed some quality when winning at Wolverhampton last time despite still looking green on just his second run. He should come on for that and is proven over the distance.

Loolwah would be a big threat if fit for this comeback run. She won on her only run as a juvenile at Kempton and was then put swiftly away. There should be a lot more to come over this distance.

3.20

FANTASTIC BLUE could be the answer to this trappy handicap. He doesn’t have a lot of weight for this first run in a handicap and he was just over two lengths off the pace here last time out. Moving up in distance looks a wise move and he should be right there.

Similar comments apply to Doughan Alb who was staying on well over a mile at Chepstow latest and is a danger. Htilominlo has experience and will find this easier than the hot company he faced at Newbury last time.

3.55

EXHORT looks a fair price after finishing a good second in this class at Ayr last time out. She saw out this trip well there and could improve for those two runs this season.

Sun Maiden looks the one to beat after a fair third in a York Group 2 last time. This is clearly easier and she travels like a quality performer. Rasima is another taking a drop in class and she could enjoy this longer distance.

4.30

INDIAN RAJ did well behind Burford Brown at Ascot last time coming back from almost two years off. He was less than three lengths off the pace and could improve for the run.

He is also slightly better off at the weights with his main rival today. Roman River came with a late rattle to finish second at Newmarket last time and has plenty of pace over this trip.

5.05

FAIRY STORIES was a good third from a modest draw at Thirsk last time out. She missed the kick too, which didn’t help, and has been left alone by the handicapper. She is still learning and has a lot more to offer.

Fairy Fast is in excellent form and followed up a Ripon win with a close second at Chelmsford last time. She looks the biggest danger.

5.40

DAGUENEAU is coming nicely down the weights and is capable of better than the fourth he finished here last time out. He has no issues seeing out this distance and could bounce back.

Oi The Clubb Oi’s is a fair hurdler who was a decent third on his return to the Flat at Lingfield last time. He has no weight and can progress.
