MIDNIGHT BLISS (NAP) completed a five-timer between the flags and in novice handicaps over regulation fences last summer before just failing to concede 24lb to Midnight Mustang at Southwell. His latest run should be forgiven as his rider lost an iron and compensation awaits. Megaboost ran her best race to date over the track and trip last time and it wouldn't take much more to go one better while Cucklington, who completed a Wincanton double last March, has been running in better company though ran poorly on that track last time. The veteran Invicta Lake hasn't won for an age and has been well beaten in all recent starts.
