Verdict

Darren Egan's claim may have given NIGHT TRADE the edge when scoring at Wolverhampton last week and the partnership can continue winning ways here. Ron Harris' mare finished just behind Hatta Stream over C&D earlier but can reverse running on today's better terms. Roman Strait should be in the mix once again having scored over C&D last time with Yankee Storm well behind, while Valmina also has claims after going close at Kempton on his return from a lay-off. Cut The Cackle arrives in good heart but this is much tougher than the race she won here last Saturday and she'll do well to follow up.
