Verdict

GLISTENING NIGHTS made a pleasing return to action when third over C&D last month. The five-year-old has never won off a mark this high previously but that effort offered hope that he can, especially because a drop in class is likely to be of benefit. Wolverhampton scorer No Knee Never merits respect under a penalty, while veteran Poet's Dawn can't be underestimated.
