Tommy G arrives in fine form though recorded a recent double in lowly Class 6 company and carries 4lb extra. MIDNITE BRIDE (NAP) is preferred as she won over a shorter trip here before beaten only a length at Beverley and this looks an easier opportunity for Kevin Ryan’s filly. Challet went close over track and trip with Bringitonboris well beaten before struggling in soft ground and Catch My Breath won off a similar mark here last year.
