Verdict

Although this is probably his toughest assignment so far, THE NIGHT KING goes so well at this track that a chance is taken he can make it a fourth C&D success off a mark just 3lb higher than his last victory. Beautifully bred Shareef Star is a potential improver and is very much feared, while Lexington Empire did nothing but improve last term and cannot be ruled out of contention.
