Verdict

NIGHT SHINING has been found a good opportunity and will surely be priced accordingly. Star Noir looks the most likely to cause an upset.

1	Fair sort who was twice a runner-up in maiden/novice company as a juvenile. Stepped forward from his reappearance when well-backed fourth of 6 at Newcastle, beaten 1¾ lengths having found less than looked likely. Probably the main danger to Night Shining if returning from 11 weeks off in top form. 2nd Pick 1 Star Noir Jockey: Billy Garritty Trainer: Michael & David Easterby J: Billy Garritty T: Michael & David Easterby	93	-	-	-	29%

6	Offered something to work on behind a couple of next-time-out winners on debut at Chelmsford. Didn't progress or look an easy ride when third at Wolverhampton later in January. First-time hood/drop in trip both sensible moves but has been off for 6 months prior to this first run on turf. 3rd Pick 6 Preferred Jockey: P. J. Mcdonald Trainer: James Tate J: P. J.
