MIDNIGHT TUNE attracted some support on her debut at Fontwell last month but didn't get going until too late where she ran on strongly. That will have done her the power of good and the allowance she receives from Relight The Fire can see her home. The latter almost defied a 33/1 starting price on his debut at Southwell in April and made a reasonable comeback on a return visit a couple of weeks ago. Who's Micky Brown won a point-to-point at Laurencetown in May and hails from a yard going well but Sweet'n'chic is likely to do better over obstacles.
