Verdict
MIDNIGHT JADE didn’t look like catching Riddlestown when third at Southwell but would have been beaten less than five lengths if not for a blunder at the last. She gets another chance in a weak handicap having earlier landed a double. Big Georgie was placed at Plumpton last month when a long way behind the winner and Over My Head finished second over hurdles at Lingfield earlier this month but the remaining trio arrive in woeful form.
