    Verdict

    Marnie James hasn’t won in more than three years but was third in a higher grade over course and distance last week and Jonathan Fisher takes off 5lb. But NIGHT ON EARTH still looks a better bet having followed up a narrow defeat over track and trip with a victory at Newcastle. The selection’s stablemate Zapper Cass is preferred to Scale Force of the others.
