The first foal of the brilliant Midday, MIDTERM currently resides somewhere near the head of the Derby betting. We'll have a better idea of just how good Sir Michael Stoute's colt is after this as the Newbury maiden winner is up against a couple of race-fit rivals rated 100. Ventura Storm made a winning return in Listed company at Newmarket but Ode To Evening suffered a narrow-margin defeat at Lingfield on his reappearance when well ahead of Palawan. The remaining trio are all entered in the Dante and Derby having won their respective maidens. Dwight D has the most recent form when landing the odds at Wolverhampton and High Grounds opened his account at Lingfield in January. Algometer won the other division of Midterm's maiden at Newbury in October but in a slightly slower time.
