PLAY SMARTER

NIGHTEYES sets a clear standard here and will take plenty of beating having bumped into a potentially smart rival at York last time. Darnation appeals as the type to step forward with her debut under her belt and merits plenty of respect alongside Carabella, with Cloudy Skye the most appealing of the newcomers.
