Off 9 months before shaping well when sixth of 10 in handicap (9/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good) 25 days ago, fading late on. Ended 2023 with 6f Ripon success and one to be interested in.

Consistent sort who got off the mark in 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) in January. May do better still so she's not ruled out after a break.

Nighteyes (6/4), All Agleam (15/8), Alfa Moonstone (9/2), Last Applause (17/2), Court Drive (12/1)

NIGHTEYES teed herself up well for this after an absence when sixth at Yarmouth and David O'Meara's Night of Thunder filly can build on it to quickly resume winning ways. Alfa Moonstone goes well on turning tracks and is feared most on the back of a good recent Catterick fourth, with Lingfield scorer All Agleam also well in the mix in a tight-knit handicap.
