Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Handicap (GBBPlus Race)

Veteran who ended losing run on the Flat (hurdles winner this summer) at Chelmsford on Monday but not an obvious one to defy a penalty in a better race.

Back to winning ways at Kempton in May but decent efforts in defeat last 3 starts, running up to best when fourth of 5 at Ascot latest. This is easier.

Without a win campaigned back on the Flat this year but arrives in decent heart, shaping like the best horse at the weights for a long way when second upped to this trip at Goodwood last month. This surface should play more to his strengths so rates a leading contender.

Won twice on the Flat in Ireland last summer for previous yard but has shown little in a handful of starts over hurdles for current stable, including on handicap bow/return. Has since had a breathing operation.

Low-mileage 4-y-o (half-sister to stable's high-class Pyledriver) who very much had the run of the race when off the mark in 3-runner event at Doncaster (form since franked) in July. Not in same form back from a break at Salisbury 5 weeks ago but type to bounce back.

Had an excellent summer, completing a 4-timer at Lingfield. Down the field back on turf last 2 starts but expected to make an impact returned to all-weather.
