In depth
Verdict
GOODNIGHT GIRL has placed in all five outings since winning at Windsor in August. Narrowly beaten over track and trip on her penultimate start, first-time headgear may bring the necessary improvement to get her head back in front. Steelriver’s earlier success at Wolverhampton came in a claimer while Moon Trouble finished in front of Giogiobbo when fourth here last week though neither troubled the winner. Count Otto may do better back over 6f today while Zac Brown has a shout on his best form but has played up badly at the start on his last couple of outings now and unseated last time.
