Forecasts

Exmoor (11/8), Domenico Contarini (7/4), Midsummer Storm (16/5), Maestro Bernstein (12/1), Alfred (18/1), Multaneighttothree (50/1), Haltonwood (66/1), My Dad Frank (150/1), August Spring (150/1), Leysthorpe Star (150/1)

Verdict

The market should reveal plenty in this novice but Karl Burke has his string in great nick so his well-related Night of Thunder colt MIDSUMMER STORM is taken to make a winning start at the chief expense of fellow debutant Domenico Contarini, who is also bred to be well-above average. Maestro Bernstein appeals as the pick of those with experience starting out for Antony Brittain and can have a say, too. Exmoor can build on his Kempton debut sixth and completes the shortlist.

  1. MIDSUMMER STORM (IRE)
  2. DOMENICO CONTARINI (IRE)
  3. MAESTRO BERNSTEIN (IRE)
