On breeding, NIGHT STORY is more likely to appreciate this trip than fellow Godolphin newcomer Nordic Lights as he is a full-brother to middle-distance winner Acquainted. Rab Havlin’s mount can get the better of more experienced rivals who have already shown decent form over a mile and further. De Medici made a winning start here last month and Petruchio won over 1m1f at Wolverhampton. Nibras Galaxy ran well on Polytrack at Chelmsford in November but Polar Light has already been beaten in handicaps. The Dubawi filly Juneau is nicely bred and worth noting for future reference as her dam won over a mile as a two-year-old.
