Verdict

Though carrying a penalty for a recent win at Bangor, NIGHT OF PASSION still looks up to landing a hat-trick. Proven over today's trip, Jeremy Scott's mare may just have the edge on Cash Injection. The latter scored over 2m6f here last month when Comical Red was tailed off. Count Vettori is dropped in class having shown little on his recent reappearance while General Girling finished closer at Fontwell last time and may figure once again.
