Verdict

This will not take much winning and professional loser Stafford King is sure to have his followers with the champion on board. Midnight Coup is no better than a plater, but Totland Bay would have a chance on his running at Chepstow behind Phar Glory. Megazine is only moderate, but she stays, handles the track, and will be difficult to keep out of the frame.
