In depth

Verdict

BORN AT MIDNIGHT won twice at the end of last year and will appreciate the return to good ground having placed at Huntingdon recently. Lightonthewing’s earlier success at Exeter came on heavy going but Unblinking was still going well when unseating four out over track and trip last time and can race off the same mark. Bebraveforglory has won off a higher mark in the past though has plenty to find with the selection on earlier form.
