GLISTENING NIGHTS produced a personal best when scoring comfortably at Chester 8 days ago and looks well placed to follow up under a penalty. Dawn of Liberation has been consistent at 10f, finishing second at Ripon last week after a York victory earlier in the season. Of the rest, Beraz has been given a chance by the handicapper while Ryka is the least exposed runner and could be suited by the step up in trip.
