Verdict
This won’t take much winning and Tangramm out-ran big odds last time at Sandown. Bristol Missile won over a mile on soft going on his reappearance and has scored over this longer trip but we’ll take a chance that THE NIGHT KING handles the surface as he’s back on a winning mark and does appear to have improved a little this year. The Throstles in 0-8 on Turf and there are serious misgivings about the ground.
