Verdict

A facile winner at Catterick over Christmas, NOCTE VOLATUS blotted his copybook by running out at the first at Hereford at the start of the month. He clearly needs keeping in check but the manner of his previous victory suggests he's worth another chance and he gets the nod. Newcastle-scorer Avoid de Master and low-mileage Full of Surprises head up the dangers.
