In depth

Verdict

Given most of these are thoroughly exposed, NIGHTSTER gets the vote to make a winning handicap debut. He scored over a slightly longer trip here on his introduction and won't need to improve much on that to go in again. Tectonic went very close at Carlisle last week but Red Charmer is 9lb higher than when winning here in July. Push Me is another regularly placed but Ted's Brother has been well beaten since scoring at this track last month when he had Jebel Tara behind. I'm Super Too looks best of the rest.
