Nottingham Race 2 - Family Fun Raceday Sunday 31St May Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
KNIGHTS CHARGE (6) created a good impression scoring by 5L an all-weather maiden tackling this trip late last month. First try on the grass here and representing a top yard there is surely more to come. BAY ROYALE (5) similarly landed a novice by 2.25L on seasonal reappearance over course and distance last time. Looks the main danger. OUTFLANK (10) drops in journey after finishing 2L third on second outing at Salisbury (2400m) recently. Solid pedigree and one to keep an eye on. CLOUD FOREST (1) is a notable debutant for Oisin Murphy and Saeed Bin Suroor. Bred for shorter but all runners from this stable deserve respect.

This Blue Point gelding is a four-year-old having his first start. Should kick off on the right note.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of three months. Finished off last preparation failed to finish at Warwick February 20 over 3200m. Previously first up; third of 13 at Huntingdon November 2 over 3170m, 3.5 len behind So You Know carrying 71.5kg at $3.80. Assuming he is back on track this prep so worth some thought.

Second-up. Promising on debut came from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Kempton Park All Weather on December 1 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind King's Trail with 60.5kg at $11. Went for a spell before returning favourite; won by 5 len at Lingfield All Weather April 28 over 2000m defeating Cyrano De Bergerac with 56.5kg at $1.50. Can go on with it. Still has scope for improvement and will be tough to beat.

First-starter by Sea The Moon out of Halay. Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
