Verdict

NIGHTSINWHITESATIN capped off a productive 2025 by finishing a clear second on her first attempt over this trip at Catterick and she may well have more to offer this season. Don Simon has race-fitness on his side and should give it a good shot, while Gallivanted has been in good order over hurdles in recent months and he also looks dangerous, along with recent Southwell winner Hackney Diamonds.
