STORM DREAMER is going the right way judged on an improved effort at Catterick when third behind a couple of Godolphin horses. He’s expected to go close in this while Il Bandito debuted in a tough maiden over 7f at Goodwood and can get involved with normal progress. Bear Me In Mind won a seller at Newmarket and escapes a penalty while Thunderstone can only improve after a poor effort at Leicester on his debut. Baileys Derbyday is related to several winners including a Group 1 winner in France and is preferred to Bois De Norton and Northern Express of the newcomers.
