NIGHTFLY returned to action with a good effort at Warwick last month. Caught in the closing stages on that occasion, she’ll be sharper for this and may have the measure of Early Retirement. The latter won over track and trip when last seen in action back in March but returns off a 12lb higher mark. El Massivo was raised 13lb for winning at Wetherby early in the year and never figured on his reappearance but Awesome Rosie is not badly treated on her earlier placed efforts.
