In depth

Verdict

Midnight Tour made a successful bumper debut a year ago but was well beaten in Listed company before a moderate hurdling debut at Market Rasen. A better round of jumping would see her go close though PETER THE MAYO MAN (NAP) will take some beating. Neil Mulholland's charge went for 120,000gns after landing a Fairyhouse bumper last April and made a satisfactory hurdling debut in a better race than this at Doncaster last month. Winning point-to-pointer Move To The Groove hasn't shown much in bumpers while Diamond Rock has been beaten a long way in two starts at Ludlow.
