In depth

Verdict

NATTY NIGHT opened his account over timber when landing a maiden at Taunton. Further progress looks likely now handicapping and he’s preferred to another with plenty of scope in Ben Lilly. Jaunty Viking arrives with every chance having won here last summer and placed at Chepstow recently while Canford Light had shown promise before falling in handicaps the last twice now. Fontana Ellissi slips further down the weights while Romeo's Bond has to put a below par effort behind him.
