PRINCESS MIDNIGHT has improved with every run over fences and she showed a willing attitude to score over course and distance at the start of the month. A 4lb rise doesn’t look insurmountable against modest opposition. No Quarter Asked switches to fences in the hope of ending a frustrating sequence over timber and shouldn’t be far away if his jumping holds up. Pottlereaghexpress led until two out when third at Fontwell but Moans Cross is proving hard to catch right. Eurkash may make a better chaser than hurdler.
