In depth
Verdict
Summer Night City came good on his second start at Hereford in October but the form hasn’t been franked and he has to give 7lb to the others including ROCHEVAL, a jumps-bred son of Kapgarde who beat I Wish You by six lengths on his racecourse debut in an Aintree bumper last month. La Quarite showed some promise before falling at Musselburgh but Copernic Du Mazet may be the pick of the remainder.
