NIGHT SKY looks well treated for his handicap bow and with scope for improvement gets the call in a wide-open get out stakes. Jimmy Fortune looks a strong jockey booking on board Philip Makin's charge and having been not beaten far, two starts ago, by one who has won off a rating of 80 his rating of 71 might be generous. Falling Angel has shown improvement in two starts this year but is up in the handicap despite defeat while Our Drama Queen has been well held off this mark the last twice. Excellent Day's last win came in a seller and he might struggle in this company so Night Sky looks the percentage call.
