BORN AT MIDNIGHT won under Harry Kimber at Wincanton in December and the 3lb conditional was back on board when he was third last time at Hereford with Jack Doyen well beaten. Second over course and distance earlier, Bill Turner’s charge is preferred to the disappointing Grizzly James in receipt of 9lb. Starevitch should make a better chaser than hurdler but Old Page was still beaten 30 lengths when placed at Hereford, though holds Fitzroy on that run.
