Verdict

Outback Ruler has been winning over longer trips and Bath regular Edged Out scored over 5f at that track last month and has been beaten off higher marks subsequently. Fantasy Justifier has a shout raised 4lb for winning at Nottingham but MIDNIGHT RIDER makes more appeal. The latter won over track and trip before finding only one too good at Windsor - Rod Millman's charge gets the nod on the strength of that form.
