Forecasts

De Medici (4/6), Nordic Lights (5/1), Petruchio (7/1), Night Story (12/1), Nibras Galaxy (12/1), Juneau (16/1), Moon of Baroda (20/1), Polar Light (25/1), Looking For Carl (33/1)

Verdict

DE MEDICI can maintain his unbeaten record by registering a second victory in this competitive looking 1m2f novice stakes. The selection's breeding suggests he will appreciate this step up in trip and he can get the better of Petruchio who is also seeking a second career success today. The newcomer Nordic Lights looks the pick of the Charlie Appleby pair and he can finish third on debut.
