Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Div 1)

Signed off for Ivan Furtado with a good second of 11 in handicap at Kempton (6f) in October. Can make his presence felt if fully tuned up for his yard debut after 155 days off.

All 3 career wins have been on the all-weather (including two over C&D) and he made a solid start after leaving Jack Channon with 6f Wolverhampton third. Failed to build on it from a wide stall at Southwell since but no surprise to see him bounce back here.

Won over C&D in October and arrives in good nick, third of 12 back over C&D 34 days ago. Ought to be in the mix again.

Signed off for Kevin Ryan with a close second at Pontefract in October. Easily best of his 3 runs for new yard (in a change of headgear) when a strong-finishing second of 12 in 6f Kempton handicap 22 days ago. A likely player despite taking a 3 lb rise.

A four-time course winner (last 2 over C&D). Not disgraced when sixth of 12 back over C&D last month and this veteran can't be discounted.

A three-time C&D winner who bounced back to form when second of 12 over C&D 16 days ago, just failing. Should remain competitive nudged up 1 lb.

A dual 6f turf scorer in 2025 but off since coming in twelfth of 13 in 6f handicap at Pontefract in October. Has gone well fresh but goes without his usual cheekpieces on his return.

It's now 29 runs since his last win in 2023 and he's flopped the last twice, rearing leaving the stalls and always behind here last week. Shouldn't stay down for long.

Notched three wins here (two over C&D) for Philip Kirby in 2025. Not disgraced when sixth of 12 over C&D 16 days ago. Possibilities.

C&D winner. Failed to build on reappearance fourth when seventh of 12 in C&D handicap 16 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

C&D winner who caught the eye when fourth of 12 in handicap over C&D 16 days ago, left poorly placed after being hampered at the start. Very much one to consider.
