Verdict

Midnight Fire, who likes the track, was engaged in the 6.05 last night. Coumshingaun won this last year from 7lb higher and though unsuccessful subsequently has been running well enough to get into contention. GORDON BENNETT was in excellent form last summer winning three times including twice here. He'll be better for a run at Fairyhouse last month and can defy a big weight. Apache Outlaw hasn't had much experience but was staying on over the minimum here last month and his rider's claim is a massive bonus. Parting Glass has had even less experience but has shown plenty of pace and can go well from the bottom of the weights.
