Nottingham Race 5 - Bet Smarter With Oddschecker+ Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
CHESS DAD (2) followed up a debutante victory with a close-up 0.5L third at Newmarket (Rowley) over this distance 23 days ago. Wears a tongue-tie for the first time to bring out extra improvement. Leading contender. BOATSWAIN (1) hopes to make it a double following an impressive debuting 3.25L victory at Lingfield during January. Given time to build up and will strip fitter for the run. MASAI MOON (3) represents notable connections and in-form jockey and trainer combination. Steps markedly down in grade after finishing seventh attempting the Listed Fielden Stakes at Newmarket (Rowley) last time. Respect. ROGUE MILLIONS (5) is not to be discounted after placing third on debut.

Second-up. Strong on debut won by 1.3 len at Newcastle All Weather January 21 over 1600m defeating Inspired with 60.5kg at $4.50. Returned from break 3rd of 9 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 16 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Spanish Voice with 62kg at $10. This tougher but looks a top winning chance again.

First-starter by Kameko out of Messelina. Betting is the best pointer to his chances.
