In depth

Verdict

Night Of Glory is by Sea The Stars out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three foals. He made a very bright start when just failing to overhaul Chronicles at Navan and Group 2 entries suggest he's held in high regard. WISCONSIN makes a belated racecourse debut and is still in the Derby at Epsom. He's by the brilliant Japan-based Deep Impact out of quadruple Group 1 winner Peeping Fawn and looks an exciting prospect on breeding. Nightly Wailing has no fancy entries while World Tax War will need to do better than he showed on his reappearance at Leopardstown.
