MIDNIGHT MUSTANG can follow up her two successes last month by notching up a hat-trick here. The ten-year-old has been rejuvenated by the fitting of cheekpieces and with the trip and predicted ground likely to suit he can get the better of Goonjim who scored on his chasing debut at Plumpton earlier this month and Gustav who can step up on his disappointing effort last time out.
