MIDNIGHT MARY has now won four of her last six starts having landed a double at Fakenham with her latest success. Stuart Edmonds’ mare looks worth sticking with over this extra distance. Thatbeatsbanagher returned the 33/1 winner over track and trip recently when just prevailing in a fight to the line and it remains to be seen if he can repeat that effort while both Tanora and Bird On The Wire won their penultimate starts with the latter preferred over today’s distance.
