Verdict

MAID OF THE NIGHT justified strong support to get off the mark on handicap debut at Hereford last month and with more improvement anticipated upped further in trip, Henry Daly's mare is strongly fancied to double her tally. Similar comments apply to Hungry Hill so he could give the selection most to think about, ahead of Bucks Dream and the returning Eglantier.

  2. HUNGRY HILL (IRE)
  3. BUCKS DREAM (IRE)
