Midnight Maestro has been a costly failure on his last two starts and an absence since Boxing Day indicate there may have been issues. WOLFCATCHER makes most appeal with his yard in such good form and with his mark looking more attractive. Paddy's Runner and Cleni Wells have also been given a chance by the handicapper with the former more likely to be competitive in this grade. No Hiding Place will need to improve again to defy an increasing mark but Ballygown Bay is lightly raced and will not have to find much on form in order to figure.
