Verdict
NIGHT NARCISSUS was beaten less than a length when third at Haydock on her debut with a subsequent winner behind and that’s looks the strongest form on offer. She’s preferred to stablemate Moment Critique but Mutaraafeq finished a lot closer at Wolverhampton last time and looks a threat with jockey bookings suggesting she has a better chance than Shaqeeqa. Chief Scientist wasn’t beaten that far over track and trip despite failing to get a clear run while Popmaster is a full-brother to a winner and Elektronic is another newcomer to note.
