August Spring for flat debut at Newcastle on Tuesday

Paul Mulrennan will ride four-year-old August Spring as he makes his flat debut at Newcastle on Tuesday.

The son of Gustav Klimt will contest the Bet £10 Get £40 With BetMGM Novice Stakes at Gosforth Park. It will be August Spring's first start on the level after finishing seventh of eight in a bumper at Wetherby where he was beaten 55 lengths by Solly's Gold. A half-brother to five-time flat winner Dark Moon Rising and we hope he takes to the all weather.

The race looks a tough test, with some promising types in the line up. Domenico Contarini, owned by Amo Racing and trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy cost 750,000 guineas as a yearling and is a half-brother to winner Wide Margin. Al Shaqab Racing's Exmoor was another expensive purchase at 380,000 guineas but made a disappointing debut when finishing midfield at Lingfield last month and he will be expected to do better with the experience of a run under his belt. The pick of those with experience is Maestro Bernstein, with a BHA rating of 80, who makes his first start for Antony Brittain after being purchased out of Aidan O'Brien's stable.
