Beautiful Night, Starofthemorning and Major Blade are three against the field in another competitive affair and the nsrroe vote is given to Beautiful Night. The selection was a fair seventh in a similar race last time out, is sure to strip fitter here and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet. Starofthemorning rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Walton Way but he has already suggested he will be suited by a longer trip and for that reason jhe is opposed. Major Blade is another that could go well on his latest second behind Erics Charm but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder Mr Tambourine Man has the ability to go close but looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Beautiful Night.
