Verdict

This looks a virtual match between recent course and distance winner Midnight Shot and FOREVER FIELD. Charlie Longsdon puts up a 7lb claimer to negate the former’s penalty but Nicky Henderson’s charge is preferred given he didn’t quite have the pace to get on terms with Bagad Bihoue over a slightly shorter trip at Kempton on his chasing bow. The remaining trio will probably and try and complete to pick up some prize money.
