Ten Past Midnight hasn’t won for a while and was pulled up in only his only previous try over fences. Go Fox beat Famoso on worse terms at Stratford in June but hasn’t run up to that form since. HUNTER LEGEND (NAP) is still a maiden but has been lightly raced and was a fair second when racing off a higher mark over hurdles at Ffos Las in May. If he takes to fences, he is the one to beat in this.
