Peaceful Night¹³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-9| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: C Johnston| OR: 65

11/2

Best efforts in 3 novices last term came when fourth of 5 at Ayr on debut. Very stoutly bred so this step up in trip should suit on handicap debut/return.

4/1

Little impact in a trio of novice events for Jim Boyle but left those efforts well behind upped in trip on handicap bow when narrow winner at Lingfield on return last month, doing well to come from last. Only 2 lb higher here and open to further improvement.

Forecasts

Dog Fox (5/2), Papa Ricco (4/1), Ectocross (4/1), Peaceful Night (11/2), Racing Demon (8/1), Crosstitch (17/2), Angel's Voice (14/1), Lilla Cross (80/1)

ECTOCROSS proved a different proposition upped in trip on handicap bow when coming from last to first at Lingfield on his return last month and should prove hard to beat if handling these different conditions off only 2 lb higher. Peaceful Night and Dog Fox both appeal as the type to do better now stepping up in trip and handicapping so are feared most.
