MIDNIGHT DESTINY posted her best effort to date when runner-up in a higher grade contest at Haydock. She may well be good enough in this lowly handicap. Studio Star was beaten by higher rated horses than these when fourth in a claimer at Beverley and Strategise may do better now handicapping. Penalty Scorer has made the frame in similar company of late and Shamkhani has outside claims dropping down in class.
