Away For The Night D BF
7yo b Gelding (IRE)Connections
Jockey: Bryan Carver
Trainer: Alex Hales
Edgcote, Northamptonshire
Owner: Miss P Morris
Breeding
Sire: Getaway (GER)
Dam: Inchiquin High (IRE)
Damsire: Mountain High (IRE)
Comment
Away For The Night booked a second last time out, and a win two starts back, then a second three starts back, so the recent form is strong, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The one concern is a 160-day absence, and he carries 165 lb.

Comment
Kally des Bruyeres was only fifth last time out and fell two starts back, which makes him hard to fancy, though he was a winner three starts back, and again five starts back. He has run over today's trip and on the going, and 17 days since his last run is fine, but 156 lb is a big burden, and our figures rank him eighth of nine.

Damsire: Compton Place (GB)
Comment
Winless in his last five and ranked last of nine on our figures, Dynamite Defense is hard to fancy, with a pulled up and an unseated in that spell. A third three starts back, a fifth last time out and experience of today's trip and going are about all he has in his favour.

Zero Tolerance has been consistent, finishing second last time out, then third, fourth, third and third again, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating has him top of nine. The one concern is a 143-day layoff, with 164 lb to carry as well.

Comment
Galeforcechopper is our pick on profile: she won three starts back, then finished a third two starts back, and returns just 17 days after her last run, with experience over today's trip and going. A pulled-up effort last time out is the one reservation, while our rating of 105 backs her up.

Comment
Most Wanted was fifth last time out after a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, but a 35-day break and 153 lb temper things. Our rating of 99 ranks him fifth of nine, so he looks a midfield sort rather than a standout.
