Midnight Lir has bags of experience but stall nine is not ideal and the recent Yarmouth runner-up has been slowly away on more than one occasion. Mia Toretto could also have been better drawn but she led into the straight on debut at Pontefract and should hang on longer today. Batal Dandy never figured over 7f at York but this is a lot less competitive. ALICE’S IMPACT was an eye-catcher at Pontefract last week and should be thereabouts here if breaking better. Arlington, a half-brother to two winners, may prove best of the debutants.
