There have been eight winning favourites in the last 10 renewals and COMEDY NIGHT looks sure to start somewhere near the head of the betting. He finished ahead of a subsequent scorer when going close at Catterick last time and the winner Glenrowan Rose has since run well in the Albany at Royal Ascot. Just Glamorous was outclassed at Ascot last time but had placed at Chepstow earlier while a winner has come out of Adham's debut race at Nottingham. Mermaid went backwards last time but Alizoom posted a better effort at Kempton on his latest start and can reverse earlier running with Deer Song.
