Night seeking Leopardstown glory Michael O'Callaghan is excited at the prospect of Night Of Glory tackling a mile and a half for the first time in the King George V Cup at Leopardstown on Thursday. The son of Sea The Stars looked a bright prospect when opening his account by three lengths in a 10-furlong maiden at the Curragh a month ago. The form has been franked by the runner-up, the Aidan O'Brien-trained Wisconsin, who has gone on to win his only subsequent start. "He won his maiden very well and the form has worked out well since," said O'Callaghan. "It was a good maiden he won at the Curragh and Wisconsin has won since. "He's crying out for the step up in trip to a mile and a half. It should suit him, Shane Foley rides him and he'll run a big race, fingers crossed." Night Of Glory, who is entered in both the King Edward VII Stakes and Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot, will face six rivals including two from the Ger Lyons stable - Brutal and Percy. Jessica Harrington's Grandee, O'Brien's Finn McCool and Martin Hassett's Three Jacks meet again after finishing second, third and seventh respectively behind Naughty Or Nice in a Listed contest at Navan last month. Completing the line-up is the Dermot Weld-trained filly Eziyra, who is making her seasonal debut.
