Nottingham Race 3 - Oddschecker Free Bets Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
RIVER KING (10) placed a close-up 1.75L third at Doncaster two weeks back over 1400m. Improving with each start in his career and may go closer. EXCELLENT BELIEVE (3) looked good placing second on debut at Wolverhampton during March. Can go one better. LOLA MOON (8) finished fifth racing first-up in a maiden contest at Newbury last time. Will have learnt plenty and might come on for the run. FLAME OF FOREST (4) was behind the top pick debuting in the same Doncaster novice stakes. Place hope.

At debut, 12th of 14 at Kempton Park All Weather on April 7 over 1600m, 22 len behind Fifth Column carrying 57.5kg at $21. Don't think he will trouble this field.

Had two starts to date. At debut, 6th of 11 at Redcar on April 7 over 2000m, 29 len behind Convergent with 51.5kg at $23. Second-up 3rd in a small field at Catterick on April 23 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Tralee Girl with 54.5kg at $67. This looks too tough.
