Priestess¹⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-7| J: K Shoemark| T: T Ward| OR: 62

2/1

Showed improvement when third in 6f handicap at Nottingham in August. Won on AW debut in 14-runner 6f handicap at Southwell (8/1) 18 days ago, shaping like one who will stay this 7f trip. Stepping up in distance today having suggested the extra furlong would suit.

12/1

Best effort was third in Lingfield novice race, finished sixth of 8 in handicap at Kempton (14/1) 47 days ago when underperforming. May need this 7f trip to be competitive.

Smartanck¹⁷

Age: 2| Weight: 9-5| J: Finley Marsh| T: R Hughes| OR: 60

5/2

Lightly-raced 2-year-old who is yet to win. Fifth of 13 in novice race at Kempton (28/1) 17 days ago, showing first worthwhile form despite not being bred to stay that trip. Making handicap debut over slightly shorter distance which may suit better.

Form: 745

Athenian Spirit⁴⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-1| J: L Morris| T: W J Knight| OR: 56

17/2

Forecasts

Midnight Rodeo (11/8), Priestess (2/1), Smartanck (5/2), Vintage Heat (10/3), Athenian Spirit (17/2), Grand Echo (12/1), Jane Of The Jungle (16/1), She's Crafty (18/1), Pimentel (28/1)

MIDNIGHT RODEO has thrived in handicaps, convincingly winning here on Saturday, and should make a bold bid for the hat-trick. Priestess won on her AW debut at Southwell last time, suggesting this step up in trip will suit. Lightly-raced Smartanck makes his handicap debut and may appreciate this slightly shorter distance.
