Night of Thunder gelding who was second on his Southwell debut last month and made the most of a good opportunity at Redcar (1m, good) since. This is a lot harder but there should be more to come.

10/11
Brother to St Leger winner Logician and smart 9f-1¾m winner Collide. Looked a smart prospect when seeing off Gavriel on his 1m Kempton debut and may have simply failed to handle heavy ground when becoming the shortest-priced loser in British racing history at Goodwood since. Worth another chance.

Wootton Bassett colt who stormed clear for an impressive debut success at Ffos Las (1m, good) last month. Beaten at short odds but still stepped up on that form when second to another good prospect at Windsor (1m, good again) since. More to come.

Standout effort over hurdles when fourth at Leopardstown on final start for Emmet Mullins last December. Didn't achieve much when third of 4 on recent Ffos Las Flat debut for new yard last Monday. Can only watch.

Ulysses gelding who was beaten a long way in 2 turf outings last month and is unlikely to be of any interest this side of handicaps.

€520,000 Too Darn Hot colt who shaped encouragingly amidst greenness when third of 12 in novice at Southwell (1m) on debut in April. Has a tongue tied added back from 166 days off (gelded). Likely improver under Murphy.

Forecasts

Najidi Storm (10/11), Wootz (7/4), Shadow Boxer (7/2), Al Jolson (14/1), Petworth (40/1), North Beach (50/1), Mashkur (150/1), Herstmonceux (250/1), Elsa Tan (250/1), Circle Of Secrets (250/1), Khachaturian (300/1)

Verdict

A good novice. NAJIDI STORM may have simply got stuck in the mud at Goodwood and has to be worth another chance given how promising his all-weather debut success was. Wootz also looks decidedly useful and is feared most ahead of Shadow Boxer, who has been off since his promising debut third in the spring.
