      Verdict

      NIGHT MOMENT is difficult to oppose in the opener. He’d already shown ability before romping home by a wide-margin over track and trip last week and can defy a penalty. Grantley is also penalised having made a winning debut with a victory over 6f at Redcar when giving the impression this longer trip would suit. He should have the measure of both Broxi and Samara Bay while the newcomer Cubano’s dam is from a family of stakes winners in North America.
