50/1

Showed ability when fourth of eight on debut at Catterick last month. A couple of these have stronger claims but she should progress and does have place chances.

Midnight Antics^t1³⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Danny McMenamin⁽⁷⁾| T: B Ellison

9/2

Made a promising start at Huntingdon in November when fourth of 16 and again showed potential when third at Doncaster next. Had a break since but if ready to go she should go close today.

T: I Jardine J: Ross Chapman

Forecasts

Susie Mac (6/5), Ahorsewithnoname (9/2), Midnight Antics (9/2), Martha Brae (9/2), Lady Of Ardvar (10/1), Celtic Legend (20/1), Fullmoon Luna Lady (20/1), Misu Bula (40/1), Red Reminder (40/1), Fair Sheriff (50/1), Spy Fi (66/1), Onecallaway (80/1)

Plenty of potential was on show when MIDNIGHT ANTICS debuted at Southwell and given the patient approach Sue Smith takes with youngsters he should come on plenty so gets the vote here. Ahorsewithnoname looks the most likely danger unless newcomers Martha Brae and/or Susie Mac are supported significantly on course.
