Verdict

A much-deserved first success over fences beckons for MIDNIGHT OUR FRED, who has found just one too good on each of his three starts since switched to handicaps in this sphere (all at Cheltenham). He was clear of the rest when chasing home another novice upped to 3½m back from a break last month and is 1 lb lower here. True Faith is very much of interest, despite returning form a lengthy absence, and he is feared most ahead of Jumping Jet, who looks the pick of the Gordon Elliott-trained trio.

  1. MIDNIGHT OUR FRED (IRE)
  2. TRUE FAITH (IRE)
  3. JUMPING JET (IRE)
