Verdict

Titch Strider made a promising reappearance at Wincanton and would have every chance here, despite being raised 3lb since. But it could be the turn of MIDNIGHT SEQUEL (NAP) today as she just got outstayed by the in-form Follow The Tracks over 3m at Taunton last month and was second over this course and distance in June last year. Golden Games is a Plumpton specialist but also has form here and can make the frame again while it would be no surprise to see Master Cardor Visa in the firing-line, despite a lay-off. Benability is preferred to Dexter Benjamin and River Dancing of the others.
