Sea The Stars colt who shaped very well when third of 9 in maiden at Kempton (1m, 11/1) on his debut 31 days ago. Sure to be all the better for that initial experience.

Forecasts

Lighting Thunder (1/4), Romanticizing (9/2), Qarreeb (11/1), Midsummer Storm (25/1), Flag Of Eva (66/1), Forever Endless (80/1)

Verdict

LIGHTING THUNDER looked a sure-fire winner when a promising runner-up in a big-field Newbury maiden on his return so gets the nod here over Romanticizing, who also shaped well when a debut Kempton third and shouldn't be underestimated for his top yard. Qarreeb and Midsummer Storm can fight it out for minor honours.

  1. Lighting Thunder1/4
  2. Romanticizing9/2
  3. Qarreeb11/1
