Nottingham Race 2 - Ladies Day 9Th May 'Confined' Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race) (Div 2)
TORNADO TOWER (8) is the pick of the debutants representing both notable owners and a top training partnership. Bred by Frankel out of Listed Prix Denisy winner Gale Force this half-brother to three-time G1 winner Hurricane Lane is worth considering. OLYMPIC CHARTER (5) is also another debutant to watch out for. Bred by Kingman out of G3 Prix Fille de l'Air winner Powder Snow. The half-brother to two G3 winners holds potential. AUSTRALIA DAY (3) makes first career appearance and is worth noting. Bred by Australia out of Blending. Exciting. MONTE A BORD (1) makes first start on the flat after winning a jumpers flat race in latest.
