The three that catch our eyes here are Night Of Joy, Looks Could Kill and Hallhoo, with the vote going to Night Of Joy. The selection comes here on the back of two-successive wins, both at a mile and the latest coming five days ago. Carrying a six-pound penalty for that effort, this progressive filly still looks reasonably weighted and, with her stable great form, looks set to run a big race. Looks Could Kill also looked progressive and displayed some very good qualities when scoring at Hamilton last time and, along with Mick Channon's seven-furlong Newbury maiden winner, Hallhoo, can give the selection most to do, particularly given that the latter's stable is also enjoying a good run. Of the others, Wise Dennis was third in the maiden in which Munaddam, who runs earlier on the card, was second, in August, and his form is generally solid, while Ceiriog Valley's stable is also in pretty good heart now and he can build on his soft-ground Chester win at this longer trip. The others, overall, look to have something to prove against those that have been mentioned, which spins us back to the selection, which is Night Of Joy.
