Verdict

NIGHT ON EARTH ran well again at Newcastle a fortnight ago and can race off the same mark. He’d earlier beaten Marnie James at Wolverhampton and the latter has finished subsequently finished runner-up the last twice including when finishing in front of Lihou at Lingfield. The latter placed here recently when just ahead of Lucky Ava while Dark Side Prince missed out on a four-timer when third at Wolverhampton and is upped in class.
