SALEH ran well over 1m last time out and can register a second success of 2017 here having proven successful over 1m off a 7lb lower mark in January. The selection remains open to improvement and has a decent draw here as he seeks a third career success. Until Midnight ran well when beaten 4L over this trip on his return to action last month and can follow that up with another placing while Black Bess can claim third on her first run since September.
