In depth
Verdict
Night Sparkle is a possible improver upped in distance but WONDERFUL TIMES didn’t appear to stay 1m4f at Newbury last month and is better judged on earlier seconds at Haydock, behind French Oaks winner Nashwa, and Ascot. Qabilah will have learned plenty from her third at Thirsk but newcomers Coercion and Mountain Queen are probably best watched.
