Forecasts

Night Of Glory (7/4), Wisconsin (7/4), World Tax War (7/2), Nightly Wailing (12/1), Thunder Crash (14/1), Gealach Ghorm (25/1), Vision D'Ete (33/1), Bold Knight (40/1), Mastermind (40/1), Baile Ghilibert (66/1), Handsome Maverick (100/1)

Verdict

A gelded son of Sea The Stars, NIGHT OF GLORY was friendless in the betting for his recent Navan debut but he rattled home fast and was just denied victory, over this longer trip and with the benefit of that run behind him, he's sure to be much more popular now and may get off the mark. The newcomer Wisconsin is an obvious danger, given that he is regally bred and represents powerful connections and a trainer already on top of his game this season. Thunder Crash and World Tax War should build on their efforts to date while Nightly Wailing is also to be noted on his debut.
