Midnight Cowboy was a respectable third at Newton Abbot when stepping outside of handicap company for the first time but may be a couple of pounds too high now. Cut The Corner steps up a grade in search of a hat-trick but Newton Geronimo ran better than expected in a Listed race at Market Rasen last month and Degooch won by 10 lengths over course and distance last month. Trainers are clamouring to utilise the 10lb claim of James Bowen and Rebecca Curtis is hoping to benefit in this. The in-form teenager partners ONE TERM, who has won around here off a higher mark and looks poised to run well again.
