Winner of nine races so far but most recent of those came over 2m2f at Pontefract (good) in June 2015. Fair effort when third at Chepstow (good-to-firm) last time and well handicapped on his old form.

Winner of her last two races including when odds-on favourite for a three runner contest over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster (good-to-firm) at the weekend. Carries a penalty for that success and upped in trip as she seeks her first AW win at the 11th time of asking.

9/2
Maiden after eight starts including six for this stable. Beaten 2¾L over 2m at Kempton on the AW in a first time eyeshield (retained) last time out and a place looks more likely than a win in this.

Forecasts

Night Generation (5/2), Graceful Lady (3/1), Jazzy (4/1), Southern States (9/2), Master Dancer (6/1), See And Be Seen (8/1), Dakota City (10/1)

Verdict

NIGHT GENERATION ran well on turf last time out at Lingfield and he is taken to register a second AW success of 2017 here. The selection had finished third over hurdles prior to that can get the better of Graceful Lady who is seeking her first AW win in this contest while Master Dancer is another seeking a first AW victory and he can take third.
  1. Night Generation
  2. Graceful Lady
  3. Master Dancer
