MIDNIGHT WARRIOR (NAP) has improved as he's stepped up in trip and was impressive when scoring over the course and distance last time. He's only 4lb higher and Jack Garritty is certain to give him a good ride. Cool Baranca is much better over hurdles where she's won nine times but Blue Top looks a threat as he has won over the trip on soft ground and is lower in the ratings. Kashstaree's best run came on very testing going from this sort of mark so she could prove a threat from her lowly spot in the weights.
