Verdict

If conditions come up soft then MIDNIGHT GLORY makes most appeal with the Champion Jockey taking the ride. The form of the mare's win at this course two starts back has been boosted by the placed horses both winning since and the faster ground may not have suited at Taunton last time. Malapie has clearly had his issues and won't have been the easiest train over the last few years but now he's got his career back on track, he's open to improvement. Scooby is a consistent type who 8lb rise leaves him needing to find more while Baron Du Plessis is still a maiden but could well improve for the step up in trip and his yard's in flying form.
