7/1

Rampoldi Plan³⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-6| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽³⁾| T: A King| OR: 65| BF

10/3

Promising individual. Strong in the betting but saddle slipped when fifth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/4) 36 days ago. Very much of interest for in-form stable.

Form: 767-5

Midnight Train¹²

3/1

Promising type. 7/2, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm) 12 days ago, keeping on well. Upped further in distance and should do better again, so makes plenty of appeal.

RAMPOLDI PLAN was a warm order for his handicap debut at Southwell but his saddle slipped. With his yard banging in the winners lately, he's worth chancing to set the record straight in a race that should play to his strengths (strong gallop seems likely). Recent Windsor scorer Midnight Train is an obvious threat and Geopolitic appeals as the sort to make a better 3-y-o, so he's also considered.
