Verdict

Endless Night, Gracie's Gift and No Time are the three to consider here and Gracie's Gift is the selection. No Time has run creditably to be placed on each of his last two starts and has a live chance here. However it is some time since he last scored and he is taken on. Gracie's Gift has been staying on at the finish of his last two races on the all-weather, on both occasions not beaten far by the progressive Scuba. This extra furlong looks right up his street. Scuba's trainer, Hughie Morrison is represented here by Endless Night so should know where he stands with Gracie's Gift. However, his charge is still a maiden in nine starts and Gracie's Gift is the selection.
