MIDNIGHT TOUR (NAP) was far from disgraced in finishing fifth of 11 behind Katie Too in Listed company at Cheltenham last month prior to which he'd looked a decent prospect for David Loder with a silky Bangor success. A return to ordinary novice company will aid his cause, likewise the presence of the champion jockey on his back. Cottersrock had been going very much the right way in 2016 until parting company with Andrew Tinkler early on at Uttoxeter during the week. That was an uncharacteristic error and he should provide tough opposition to the selection but the 7lb he's asked to concede swings matters in favour of the Loder inmate. Thady Quil and Verygoodverygood both outran their odds last time and have place possibilities whilst hurdling newcomer River Of Intrigue may prove best of the Henderson pair. Redmond is due to run at Warwick on Saturday evening.
