In depth

Verdict

Night Sight was a little disappointing last time but may be capable of making amends here with Asaleeb, Prenup and Perelandra the others worthy of consideration. The selection finished fifth behind Bramantino at York earlier in the week but that was in an amateur riders¿ race and with Richard Thomas taking over in the plate he looks to have solid claims. Asaleeb won well when defeating Aoninch last time and this progressive filly is entitled to plenty of respect as she is still open to plenty of improvement. Prenup finished well behind Asaleeb in that Salisbury race and although she is weighted to get closer here, she has it all to do to reverse placings with that rival. Perelandra hacked up in a seller at Lingfield last time and has a lot more on her plate here, but the manner of that success would suggest she could be up to the job. This is a fascinating race but Night Sight is on a handy mark and looks the one they have to beat.
