In an interesting affair, Night In gets the nod over Inchduagh, Moorhouse Lad, Misphire and Ockums Razor. Night In's reputation preceded him before his Lingfield debut and, although he tired to finish third in the closing stages, he should be up to showing up well in this affair with that run and experience under his belt. Bold Tiger showed promise in his first couple of starts, although he'll need to put a modest run last time behind him to feature, while the interestingly-bred Cape Courier is surely better than his debut run might have suggested. Inchduagh got the hang of things late on last time and is one to watch for in the betting, as is Neville Callaghan's Ockums Razor, a half-brother to the high-class juvenile sprinter Kier Park, while Moorhouse Lad has been quite highly tried since running well at Thirsk three runs ago, so should been seen in a better light today. Misphire's fifth in a decent Newmarket nursery last time affords her plenty of respect today, while Regal Lass, Crestfallen and Veiled Applause are potential improvers. However, we will just give the vote to Night In.
