Night Moment was narrowly beaten on his debut but failed to build on that when sent off favourite at Chelmsford a fortnight ago. INFANT HERCULES lost his position when the pace picked-up at Thirsk on his debut but rallied in the closing stages to claim third place and Kevin Ryan’s charge should know more today. Influence Is Power is another expected to finish closer with last week’s debut at Beverley under his belt while Boundsy Boy is a half-brother to three winners and Richard Fahey’s yard gets its fair share of two-year-old winners here.

Night Moment (GER) 11-8fav (9-4) Went left start, tracked leaders, racing keenly over 4f out, went 2nd 3f out, ridden and every chance over 1f out, held by winner inside final furlong, 2nd of 5, 1 1/4l behind Cotopaxi (9-5) at Chelmsford City 7f stks (5) pol in Jun.
