BERNSTEIN HEADS NUNTHORPE 15

Bernstein is among the 15 declarations made today for Thursday`s Victor Chandler Nunthorpe Stakes at York on Thursday.

The Aidan O`Brien-trained colt is set to make a quicker-than-expected return to action having landed the Ritz Club Shergar Cup Sprint Stakes at Ascot last time.

The three-year-old, attempting to follow up Stravinsky`s success for the stable last season, was set to reappear in next month`s Stanley Leisure Sprint Cup but connections failed to enter him for the Haydock race by mistake.

King George Stakes winner Cassandra Go, trained by Geoff Wragg, was the sole absentee from the five-day declarations at this morning`s 48-hour stage.

King`s Stand Stakes winner Nuclear Debate, trained in France by John Hammond, shared 3-1 favouritism with Bernstein with Victor Chandler following the five-day stage.

Other notable runners include Godolphin`s Bertolini, third behind Nuclear Debate at Royal Ascot, and July Cup third Pipalong.
