CHRISTMAS NIGHT was upped in class at Catterick last time having won over track and trip before that. He can effectively race off a lower mark with an apprentice’s allowance taking into consideration and is preferred to Lethal Angel. The latter finished runner-up at Chelmsford recently while Brockey Rise has placed over 6f the last twice and Raven's Raft only found one too good in a claimer here last time. Lady Marigold slips further down the weights having only won a novice race so far.
