THE NIGHT PORTER won a maiden with plenty in hand when stepped up to today’s trip at Beverley recently and can go in again. Rayita should be sharper for a placed effort at Sandown on her first start for new connections and makes more appeal than the more exposed Zatorius while Warmhearted needs further improvement if she’s to figure. Canford Heights is a half-brother to three winners and is preferred to Tin Fandango of the newcomers.
