In depth

Verdict

Nightfly had proved consistent prior to finding the step up to Grade 3 company too much at Newbury. She could easily bounce back while Quite By Chance is a previous course and distance winner who is starting to look well treated and veteran Opening Batsman is still capable of decent form and also likes it here. MINE’S A PINT was the only one backed against the odds-on Graasten in a novice event at Plumpton and was a worthy winner. That was his debut over the larger obstacles and opening mark of 108 looks fair.
