Verdict
Kentford Myth clearly benefited from a change of tactics when holding on well at Wincanton last time after being asked to make all. Jeremiah McGrath retains the ride and expect to see a similar approach deployed once again. However, she is up 6f in trip now and therefore MIDNIGHT SEQUEL (NAP) is preferred. Experienced and proven over this distance and very much at home on the forecast good ground, the Mulholland mare has performed with credit on her last three starts, especially when beaten less than a length by Lady Of Longstone at Ffos Las four days ago. A win seems imminent and she's taken to oblige in the hope she's over those Welsh exertions. Midnight Sapphire has claims on form but is unproven on the ground and Ann's Lottery went well here last time with an improved effort that suggested she's improving with racing.
