Verdict

MIDNIGHT COWBOY won with far more in hand than the official winning distance at Kemton last time and would have won much easier without his antics late in the contest. He looks well treated under a penalty and can follow up. Exxaro is interesting on his first run for Colin Tizzard under conditions that should suit, but may just need this. Red Hanrahan will find this easier than trying to give Shantou Village a race at Fontwell last time and can get in the money.
