Nottingham Race 2 - Best Odds Guaranteed At Betano Novice Stakes (GBB Race)

Gosden representative LIGHTING THUNDER (3) has filled the runner-up spot on both starts to date. Latter effort was in a big field at Newbury last month when only failing by 0.75L. Opportunity to atone now. QARREEB (5) showed the way in a 2000m novice at this track making seasonal reappearance before fading late. Back in trip and might get involved. Superbly bred colt ROMANTICIZING (6) came home 3L third on debut a month ago at Kempton. Likely to take plenty from that performance. MIDSUMMER STORM (4) indicated ability across both starts at Newcastle earlier in the year. Entitled to consideration here.

Third race start. Promising on debut made ground from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Great Yarmouth on September 16 over 1600m, neck behind Spyce carrying 60.5kg at $4.50. Went for a spell before returning 2nd of 25 at Newbury on April 18 over 1600m, 0.8 len behind Exclusive Code with 60.5kg at $2. Fitter and worth following up.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, 4th of 10 at Newcastle All Weather on February 24 over 1600m, 6 len behind Exmoor carrying 56kg at $4.20. Last start 3rd of 11 at Newcastle All Weather on March 19 over 1400m, 11 len behind Infinite Dream with 57.5kg at $5.50. Further improvement in store and deserves consideration.

Third race start. First start 7th of 10 at Wolverhampton on November 8 over 1700m, 8 len behind Sahara King with 60.5kg at $10. Returned from break 3rd of 9 at this track on April 8 over 2000m, 2.25 len behind Olympic Charter carrying 56kg at $7. Should run well again and is definitely in the mix.

At debut, 3rd of 9 at Kempton Park All Weather on April 8 over 1600m, 3 len behind Go Rimbaud carrying 57.5kg at $12. Shows ability and expected to improve. Leading contender with that run under his belt.
