Verdict
RELEASE THE STORM did just what was required when he made a winning introduction at Leicester and tops the shortlist, despite picking up a 7lb penalty. With the likes of The Northern Lord, Kath's Tipple and Way Of The Will all well held on debut, it seems safe to assume that Roman Fortress - a half-brother to three winners - won't need to be anything special to make his presence known.
Expert View Verdict
RELEASE THE STORM impressed on debut when always doing enough winning at Leicester, beating more experienced rivals including a previous winner and despite the penalty holds obvious claims to back that up here in another winnable race. Empire Power has the experience edge in this field in her sixth start, she placed last time out at Redcar and may be the best option to put it up to the pick. The Northern Lord was left with a bit too much to do on debut, but with form franked from that race (third winning next time out) and improvement likely could go well.
