Verdict
Italian Ice has shown nothing in two starts so far and Regal Lady and Tangastic have plenty to find with Blanc De Chine on official figures. The latter has gone close on her last couple of outings and has an excellent chance here, though newcomer LIKE THE NIGHT won't have to be anything special to come out best. Her dam is a half-sister to Polytrack winner High Esteem and Marco Botti's filly makes much more appeal then the other debutant Chester'slittlegem.
