Night On Earth¹⁷

Weight: 9-9| Age: 2

T: A M Balding J: William Carver

Forecasts

Tilaawah (13/8), Night On Earth (3/1), Chica Bonita (7/2), Mary Cassatt (4/1), Pornstar Martini (7/1), Colombe (12/1), Shalaa Asker (16/1), Enaitchess (16/1), Dark Alibi (80/1)

NIGHT ON EARTH proved to be a disappointment in a Group 3 at Goodwood 17 days ago, particularly given the promise displayed when scoring with ease at Windsor previously. He's worth another chance on balance and earns the vote returned to calmer waters. Tilaawah who shaped well on debut here 2 weeks ago and newcomer Chica Bonita are others to consider.
