Karl Burke has spoken in glowing terms about Qipco 2,000 Guineas dark horse Night Raider and is hoping for a draw close to hot favourite City Of Troy in Saturday's Newmarket Classic.
Burke said that he has never had a horse work as well as Night Raider on the Polytrack gallop in Middleham and is hoping big-race jockey Danny Tudhope can stalk City Of Troy before moving through the son of Dark Angel's "ten gears" in the closing stages. The pair were among 14 horses confirmed for the Classic.
