Formscan - NIGHT IN VEGAS returned to winning ways at Newmarket following a couple of fine efforts when fifth in the Coventry at Royal Ascot and third in the Richmond at Goodwood. Eve Johnson Houghton's colt hugely benefits from the conditions of this race, being in receipt of weight from the majority of the line-up, and has a fine opportunity to gain a fourth win of the campaign. Seven Nation Army sports cheekpieces for the first time which should aid his cause dropping back in trip. The Dancing Pirate finished third after throwing away a York nursery by hanging in both directions in the closing stages and the nature of Town Moor may further exacerbate that tendency. With that in mind, the fourth from that contest, God Given Talent, has every chance of reversing the form, especially given the fact he was hampered on more than one occasion when making his first appearance for William Haggas.
