EQUIPE DE NUIT is taken to break his maiden tag in this seller, while both Veraki and Portugese Caddy are worthy of mention. The selection has performed well enough in claiming races this summer but has found it difficult to get his head in front. This does look like his easiest task to date and if recapturing his best he will not be far away come the business end of the race. Veraki responded to the drop into this selling grade when after finishing an eye catching third of thirteen behind Sairaam at Yarmouth last time out. He only needs to reproduce that form and he will be sure to be in the shake up once again. Portugese Caddy ran well enough in the same race as Veraki finishing fourth in the process and is another that is worthy of respect, but for the winner we return to Equipe de Nuit.
