Verdict

Nite Fox can give weight away all round to the likes of Tickateal, Lord Nelson and Glacial Delight. Stamina is the key here, and with that in mind, Nite Fox is selected to gain a follow up to her first ever success at Uttoxeter three weeks ago. Pat Merrigan got the most out of her to overcome Rifleman close home at the Midlands track, and she shaped as though she would not mind further. The only negative is the fact that Rifleman got turned over at Worcester on Tuesday so the validity of the form is open to question. Heather Dalton's charge has run some fair races against better opposition in the past though and has things in her favour. Tickateal proved that he stays when beating Cody over this trip at Sedgefield last time and should go well despite a seven-pound penalty, while Lord Nelson shaped well at Ludlow but has plenty of weight for what he achieved in finishing third. Glacial Delight will benefit from a recent staying on third at Wincanton and looks best of the rest, but Nite Fox is taken to follow up.
