MIDNIGHT SILVER has a lot going for her as she bids to follow up her recent Ffos Las success. She has the speed to win over 2m and can stay 3m too so with a strong pace likely she should have the race run to suit. Her stable do well here and she can continue to progress. Beyondtemptation is interesting now that she has got her head in front again. It is doubtful she will go on a similar spree to last season but if she is able to establish a lead from the off she will still be thereabouts at the finish. Appletree Lane is another contender for pacemaking duties and the weight she receives in these conditions could be a factor.
