A winner at Wolverhampton, MIDNIGHT BLUE took the step up to 1m2f in her stride when scoring here with a bit in hand. This longer trip looks likely to bring further progress and the hat-trick beckons for Sir Mark Prescott’s filly. Fresh Terms is getting closer and was placed at Doncaster on her handicap debut. She has more scope than the likes of Parmenter and Shes Queen though the latter should find this easier than her recent tasks. Roser Moter won over today’s trip at Wolverhampton last month and can be forgiven a poor effort at Salisbury last time as she appears to prefer the all-weather surfaces.
