In depth
Verdict
My Midnight was very consistent in the second half of last year and is back in maiden company having contested a Listed race at Punchestown when last seen. But this should go to GETAWAY GORGEOUS (NAP), who has been beaten under a length in both starts to date over timber and is due a change of luck. Flying Risk has placed at Fairyhouse and Navan and it is hard to see her finishing out of the frame again but Springsteen's Girl has changed stables since running in a couple of bumpers last summer.
