Aidan O'Brien, on the mark with Mozart in a valuable race at Newmarket yesterday, can make further music at the headquarters of British racing tomorrow by winning the major event of the day.

The formidable Tipperary trainer saddles Minardi in the £130,000 Middle Park Stakes and this potentially top-class colt is strongly fancied to come out on top.

Purchased for no less than $1.65m as a yearling, Minardi got off the mark in scintillating style at Leopardstown last month when beating the high-class Superstar Leo by five lengths in the Group One Phoenix Stakes.

Even allowing for the fact that the runner-up, subsequently successful in the five-furlong Flying Childers Stakes at Doncaster, probably failed to stay at Leopardstown, the performance of Minardi could not be faulted.

Bannister, successful in last month's Gimcrack Stakes on Knavesmire, remains a horse open to further improvement, along with Endless Summer, who seemed to find the testing ground against him when chasing home Bad As I Wanna Be in the Prix Morny.

With a total of ten runners facing the starter, a cracking race is in prospect for this Group One prize, and Minardi looks the most likely prospect to emerge triumphant.

John Gosden, trainer of Endless Summer, can win the Unicoin Homes Joel Stakes with El Gran Papa.

This high-class colt confirmed his continued well-being with a smooth victory at Doncaster earlier this month and looks capable of following-up here under Frankie Dettori, who won yeserday's Cheveley Park Stakes on Regal Rose. He is awarded the nap vote.

The JRA Nakayama Rous Stakes over five furlongs looks a tricky event to solve, but Andreyev can not be left out of calculations.

Richard Hannon's charge, runner-up to Sakha in this race 12 months ago, scored handsomely at York earlier this month and has since run well in defeat at Newbury.

Things have to go right for Andreyev for him to put his best foot forward, but he should not be far away in this Listed event under Jimmy Fortune, who knows him so well.

The Baileys Horse Feeds Nursery Handicap looks a good opportunity for Night Haven, the mount of Micky Fenton.

Lightly-raced, Night Haven made it third-time-lucky in pleasing style at Newcastle last month and looks capable of making further progress.

A bold bid is anticipated from Michael Bell's filly as she contests her first handicap.

The well-regarded newcomer, Collectivity, trained by Barry Hills, deserves recognition in the Westley Maiden Stakes (Division One), while Labrett makes plenty of appeal in the Fitzwilliam Handicap over five furlongs.

Trained by Brian Meehan, and the mount of Pat Eddery, Labrett has run well in defeat since gaining back-to-back wins during the summer.

Opportunity promises to come knocking for him again here.

Racing at Newcastle today was abandoned this morning due to waterlogging.
