Princess Midnight has won five times over fences but never off a mark this high. POET’S REFLECTION is still seeking a first victory over the larger obstacles but she has placed in both chases so far and is still at the right end of the handicap. Spot On Soph is fairly consistent and not out of this and The Eminent Goose should enjoy this switch to fences having placed in a point and over hurdles. She was a long way ahead of Heneryetta Bay in a hurdle at Ffos Las in March.
