Verdict

A tricky start to the card with Off Hire Catchthebatch and Sharp Hat all capable of landing this prize, however we will take a chance with Scary Night. This son of Night Shift bounced back to form over course and distance last time, getting the better of Malahide Express in a driving finish, with today's rivals Henry Tun and Sharp Hat behind.At the revised weights both horses have a chance of reversing the form, however the selection has just recovered from leg problems and there may well be more improvement to come. Off Hire was behind Cash at Wolverhampton last time but is eight pounds better off for two lengths and should turn the form around, he may well be the main threat to the selection. Of the others Catchthebatch, a recent third at Wolverhampton, has place claims, but in a very open contest Scary Night is just given the vote.
