In depth
Verdict
Tabaretta is fitted with blinkers having just got the better of Sol Cayo over a shorter trip here on his handicap debut though the latter re-opposes on more favourable terms. But NIGHT LIFE (NAP) is preferred now handicapping having been surrounded by subsequent winners when going close in a Goodwood maiden race. She looks sure to appreciate this longer distance and the Hannon yard won this last year. Edge Of Darkness makes more appeal than Look Back Smiling of the remaining pair.
