MIDNIGHT WARRIOR hasn’t won since landing this race last year but a recent close-up second at Beverley suggests he can make another bold bid with an apprentice’s allowance further helping his cause. Adrakhan was in front of London Glory when scoring over track and trip last month but never figured at Musselburgh last time while Jan De Heem also drops back down in class and is not badly treated. Ominotago returned from a lay-off with a second at Yarmouth and could also figure.
