Verdict
By Invitation went close over 7f here last time but is not certain to appreciate returning to this shorter trip. With that in mind, preference is for LIKE THE NIGHT as Marco Botti's filly finished a close-up second over 6f at Wolverhampon last month and a winner has already come out of the race. Any strong support for Prince Gabrial on his first start since June could prove significant given Kevin Ryan won with a similar type at the weekend, while newcomers Profit Again and Gem Of Wizdom are others to note in the betting.
