Chaser Carolines Charm was beaten a long way reverting to hurdles at Wincanton so this should chiefly concern MIDNIGHT CENTURION and Hyland. Jamie Snowden’s mount didn’t really enjoy a drop back in trip after winning his maiden at Ludlow and looks better treated than the top weight, who has been raised another 3lb after his latest third at Warwick.
Hyland (FR) 85-40fav (11-9) In touch in mid-division, not fluent 2nd, well in touch 6th, outpaced 3 out, rallied 2 out, not fluent last, stayed on, 3rd of 11, 1l behind Ashoka (11-2) at Warwick 2m 3f hcp (4) gd in Apr.
Carolines Charm (IRE) 4-1 (11-1) Tracked leaders, led before 3rd, headed well over 2 out and soon weakened, 3rd of 8, 35l behind Toronto (11-1) at Wincanton 1m 7f (4) gd in Apr.
Midnight Centurion 9-4fav (11-10) Close up, led before 4th, headed before 3 out, lost touch with leading pair when ridden before 2 out, stayed on from last, 3rd of 6, 4 1/2l behind Midnight Ginger (11-12) at Chepstow 2m 3f hcp (4) gd in Apr.
