9/2

Fourth of 7 in maiden at Pontefract (14/1) 20 days ago, bumped at start but made steady progress without being given a hard time. Likely to improve for that experience and the shorter trip could suit.

Forecasts

Release The Storm (13/8), Empire Power (11/4), The Northern Lord (9/2), Potomac River (5/1), Roman Fortress (17/2), Wrydcroft (40/1), Way Of The Will (40/1), Kath's Tipple (100/1), Hello Summertime (100/1)

RELEASE THE STORM made a winning debut at Leicester 17 days ago and there should be more to come. He can defy a penalty for Brian Meehan. Empire Power has solid claims in this company. The Northern Lord showed promise on debut at Pontefract and should improve for the shorter trip.
