MIDNIGHT GUN was notably strong in the market when making a successful start to his handicap career at Newmarket in June. That form has been boosted and he can make light of a 5lb rise on his first outing for new connections. The selection's former stablemate Into Battle didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a beaten favourite at Sandown last time and is second choice ahead of Palace Green, who also didn't have things go his way on his latest start at Royal Ascot.
