Nottingham Race 2 - Ivor Thirst Sprint Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
GREEN CHAMPION (3) maintains plenty of appeal on paper among this company. From the James Tate yard and a half-brother to a number of winners for this owner. Clear selection debuting. COURAGEOUS SIOUX (6) makes first appearance since her racecourse debut last April where she caught the eye in fifth. Interesting connections persevere though has joined new trainer Clive Cox. MARISELLE (7) showed good speed first up fading when running fourth beaten 7L over 1200m at Lingfield (turf). Likely to improve. COURT ALERT (1) drops to this journey for the first time. Addition of blinkers needs to make a big difference.
