Verdict

NATTY NIGHT hasn't really been on his game this term but his stable continues to thrive and a return to this track could see him in a better light, so he's narrowly preferred to Martalmix'jac, who arrives in top form. Born At Midnight could take a hand if he's fit off the back of a 10-month absence.
