Verdict

This is an interesting bumper. MIDNIGHT JUKEBOX beat a now useful hurdler when winning his point last spring and gets the nod to make a successful start to his Rules career. Fellow point winner Smokehouse, Dan Skelton's new recruit Brecharnon, a Chepstow winner last spring, and Eclat de Marvel, who went off at a single-figure price for his debut in a Cheltenham listed bumper, head the dangers in a race where the betting is likely to provide more clues.
