It all depends on the definition of a sentence and if you want to match the
exact word or words "starting with".
Considering sentences as strings of characters separated by dots and exact
word matching then:
Find:
([^\.\s]\s+)(Potato)\b
Replace:
\1\l\2
Sample:
Potato is good and I have a Potato and the Potato were born well this year.
Some more text. Potato is good but Potato chips are good too.
With some indent:
Potato, singular but not Potatoes nor Potatory.
