Nottingham Race 1 - Dine In Sherwoods Restaurant Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
CYRANO DE BERGERAC (1) represents notable connections. Hails from a top training partnership and aims to turn two runner-up finishes into a win after placing second debuting in a Lingfield Park AW maiden prior to missing by a head at Windsor last time. May go one better. SEACOLE (3) is the sole debutant in the field. Bred by Sea The Stars out Crimean Queen. This dam is a half-sister to G2 winners Bronze Cannon and Across The Stars. Worth giving close consideration. FLAG OF EVA (2) finished sixth both career appearances to date including last time at Kempton Park AW. Improvement expected on third outing.
