Opening Nite may well show improvement now he has got a win under his belt and showed a good attitude for Paul Hanagan at Ayr but with a 6lb rise he is taken on with TRUE TO FORM. Sir Mark Prescott appears to have worked his magic with another one here, having got the gelding handicapping from an initial mark of 50 and gradually finding improvement when stepped up in trip to claim four successive wins. His latest success was very comfortable and upped in distance once more he can bridge the 8lbs hike in the weights. Hat-trick seeker Bollin Freddie has tended to need a run after a break, which does not augur well for his chances, while Law To Himself could pose a threat after the handicapper has begun to relent.
