Verdict

This looks a clear match between AMOUR DU NUIT and Flashing Glance. The latter looked a tearaway when romping home at Stratford two weeks ago. He overcame some scary moments to prove himself a capable performer if his rider can get him round. The champion jockey retains the ride and it will be interesting to see if Sam Twiston-Davies tries to test his character on board AMOUR DU NUIT. He is considered better when dictating the pace and on a sounder surface. Nevertheless, he boasts the pick of the form and looks more straightforward than his market rival.
  1. Amour de Nuit
