Winner of his first three starts under Rules (bumper plus two novice hurdles) before losing his unbeaten record in a Chepstow Grade 2. Not seen since then and makes his comeback fresh from a break at a more suitable level.
Bumper winner at the third attempt when looking very much a stayer in the making. Left his underwhelming hurdles debut behind when given a better test in heavy conditions over 2m; likely to appreciate this 4f longer trip, more to come.
Looked to show some progressive form over hurdles in France winning his latest start at Nantes (2m3f, soft) in November. Joined a yard that do well here and looks a threat based on his French form if ready to go after a break; market useful.
Bumper winner who has shown much better form since he was sent into handicaps, winning from the front at Wincanton in January. Has since run two highly creditable races in defeat off higher marks; still in form, sets a good standard.
Maiden in Irish point-to-points who has made little impact in two starts under Rules so far with the race proving a struggle each time. Goes back up in trip this time but hard to see him making an impression versus some useful rivals.
Took six attempts to get off the mark in Irish point-to-points and now takes on some multiple winners on his Rules debut. Would have to be useful to go close in this and the current evidence doesn't suggest that he is.
Forecasts
Myplaceatmidnight (4/6), Alrightjack (11/4), Espion De Saflo (8/1), Push The Tempo (9/1), Lisronagh Stone (40/1), Brandy Cross (125/1)
Back into novice company and with fitness on his side MYPLACEATMIDNIGHT is taken to build on his two recent handicap place efforts having shown himself capable of winning over hurdles with a Wincanton demolition by 5L in January. French recruit Espion De Saflo is interesting on his first run for Gary Moore and the market will give a good indication as to his prospects. Push The Tempo has some good form to his name but has to concede weight to the entire field although the drop in grade will help. Alrightjack also enters the picture and he’ll appreciate the step up to 2m4f having looked a stayer in the making.
