Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Div 2)

Finished last of 10 at Wolverhampton (50/1) 51 days ago without usual headgear, out of form, hood now back on.

Eighth of 13 at this C&D (33/1) 16 days ago, offered little after 6 months off and carried head awkwardly.

Won at 6f 75 days ago. Close 2nd of 14 in 5f handicap at this course (7/2) 10 days ago, travelling well and staying on strongly. Returns to 6f at which he has winning form and appears in good shape currently.

Inconsistent performer who ran with some credit when 6th of 14 in handicap at Newcastle over 5f (11/1) 10 days ago, raced off the pace and never nearer. Blinkers replace visor today and stepping back up to 6f might suit.

Has shown better form at Newcastle over 6f, finishing second of 11 in a handicap at this C&D (20/1) 37 days ago. Seems more at home over this stiff 6f trip and could be competitive again.

Ran well when second at Newcastle (AW) 48 days ago but form has dipped in two subsequent runs. Seventh of 13 in handicap at this course (13/2) 16 days ago, slowly into stride and merely keeping on. Cheekpieces replace visor. Without a win in 21 races.

Course specialist with multiple wins at this track and distance, ran well when runner-up here in March. Finished ninth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (6/1) 188 days ago, meeting trouble in running before weakening when in the clear. Proven performer who could bounce back after the break, though winless in last 18 races.

Poor form in recent starts, finishing eighth of 12 in turf handicap at Thirsk (100/1) where made no impression. Blinkers back on but needs significant improvement.

Modest career record of just 1 win from 31 starts but finished a creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 16 days ago, hanging left under pressure. Could go one better if keeping straighter.

After a better run when 4th at Catterick (7f) in June, finished fifth of 9 in handicap at Carlisle (16/1) 124 days ago, slowly into stride and never involved on heavy going. Drop in trip could suit based on previous handicap efforts.

Patchy performer with better form without headgear. Finished 7th of 14 in handicap at Southwell (11/2) 13 days ago, back in headgear and wasn't in the same form as when third at this course. Worth monitoring when equipment is removed. Without a win in 15 races.

Has struggled with 14 runs since last win and was eighth of 10 at Bath (7/1) 7 days ago, never threatening after dwelling.

One win from 25 starts, finished fourth of 13 in 7f Chelmsford handicap (28/1) 21 days ago offering something. Has not won for 15 races. First-time visor replaces blinkers.

Struggled for form since January win. Seventh of 8 in a handicap at Musselburgh (33/1) 24 days ago, hampered on rail before weakening. Needs to show more to be competitive.
