MUNTAZAH was unfancied in the betting for his recent debut at Newbury but went within a head of catching the winner. Barry Hills' charge looks capable of landing this with normal progress and is preferred to Recorder. The latter also made a promising start at Newbury last week and should be in the mix. Ventura Storm was purchased for 110,000gns in April and is preferred to Dollar Reward and Mixology but the half-brother to three winners, Culturati, has a couple of fancy entries and makes most appeal of the newcomers.
