Nottingham Race 3 - British Ebf Future Stayers Oath Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
This can go to the well-touted newcomer TOP SCHOLAR (4) who boasts a top pedigree being by Frankel and out of a Dubawi mare. Dam has also produced black type performers Warrant Holder and Portfolio. Given a great opportunity first time out and likely to produce a big performance. GAINFUL (5) brings the benefit of a run. Can build on her 3.25L Newmarket novice third eighteen days ago with improvement expected. Leading player. PRINCE OF PETRA (3) is another debutant to watch by Persian King. Much to like on paper and representing a top yard so deserves a market check. CALDO (1) should step forward from debut and is preferred over HOSHI (2).
