Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap

No show at long odds in trio of starts this year but has fallen to a handy mark as a result and may well do better back over 2m in refitted headgear.

Ran better than for a while when third behind subsequent winner here last time and makes appeal back up in trip (all 5 of his wins coming around 2m).

Off the mark at Chelmsford City in December and straight back to form in change of headgear when third over C&D latest. Eases slightly in grade and ought to go close if blinkers have same effect.

Got off the mark in an ordinary 2m handicap at Chelmsford before finishing well beaten on hurdle debut last time. However, this low-mileage 4-y-o could improve with more severe headgear fitted.

All his wins have come in lower grades, and he's entitled to need this following 10 months off.

Went backwards from stable debut/reappearance when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course 22 days ago.

Having dipped below his last winning mark, ran well in first time visor when third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle last time, and he looks well worth another try over 2m (previous attempt coming off a 4-month break and has won over jumps since then).

Finished third in pair of staying handicaps on turf last summer and having been in good heart over jumps in recent months, no surprise if he were to find some improvement (in change of headgear) on just his third Flat start for James Owen.
