11/4
Dual bumper scorer who resumed winning ways after a 3-month break down in grade in 12-runner Ludlow novice (good to soft) 24 days ago, readily. A double penalty makes life tougher but she's respected nonetheless.

10/11
Successful on 3 of her 4 bumper starts last season and made it 2-4 over hurdles when defying a penalty at Carlisle (19.3f) in February, suited by emphasis on speed up in trip. Outclassed in first-time cheekpieces (left off here) in Dawn Run subsequently but has leading claims back in calmer waters.

16/5
Bumper winner at Kelso in 2021 who has improved with each run over hurdles, off the mark in a Musselburgh novice in February and has shown better form in defeat both outings since, including in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut at Kelso last time. Much respected.

25/1
Winning Irish pointer who showed more than previously under Rules in a first-time hood when fourth in 14-runner novice at Kelso (18.1f, good) 10 days ago, finishing with running left. That form possibly isn't worth a great deal, though.

Has hinted at ability but will be of more interest in handicaps after this run.

Unplaced in bumpers but showed more than first time up over hurdles when third in 8-runner maiden at Musselburgh (17.4f) 34 days ago, running on late. Possibilities if taking another step forward.

Showed little in a maiden hurdle (28/1) at Wetherby (21.2f, soft) on debut 4 weeks ago. Down in trip.

€24,000 3-y-o, Getaway mare. Closely related to fairly useful hurdler Lucky Road. Dam, lightly raced in points, half-sister to top-class chaser (stayed 25f) Road To Respect. Little show in points, pulled up again last time (Nov 2022).

Forecasts

Poetic Music (10/11), Magical Maggie (11/4), Midnight Shuffle (16/5), Donso Star (10/1), Beauty To Behold (25/1), Fllana Bay (50/1), Bollin Matilda (66/1), Tangiers (150/1), Elmley Lovett (150/1), Jean Armour (250/1), Popatango (250/1), Parelli Power (300/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT SHUFFLE underlined she's still improving when beaten only by one thrown in on her Kelso handicap debut last month and, with the performance backed up by the timefigure, she makes plenty of appeal. Poetic Music will find this much more suitable than the Dawn Run and must be feared, along with Magical Maggie.
