Woulduadamandeveit will probably find today’s going too quick but is still preferred to stable companion Tea Time Fred.

MIDNIGHT AURORA was let down by her jumping at Huntingdon after skating up on good ground at Plumpton six days earlier. She’s had a month off and may be ready to resume winning ways.
