CITY OF NIGHT was only beaten a nose by Shamaheart here at the end of last month. He was ahead of Lawyer, Almuhalab, Newmarket Warrior and Broctune Papa Gio on that occasion and can go one better in this. Lawyer was engaged at Ripon yesterday and Top Offer has done all his winning over shorter trips so far. Arcane Dancer scored at Beverley last month but has failed to figure since while though Cabal won off today’s mark here last year he makes a quick reappearance after a modest effort at Carlisle during the week.
