Verdict
Midnight Jitterbug ran easily his best race to date when narrowly beaten at Kempton and further progress would see him in the shake-up. Zante won a maiden at Plumpton last April but hasn't kicked on as expected while Londonia's two victories have been at a lower level and he's up 6lb from his Towcester success. Dragon Khan has a poor strike-rate while Sixties Idol has never won in 16 career starts. KRISTAL HART has only had four starts over hurdles but has won five times on the Flat. She was taking on slightly better company at Wincanton after a fair run in a maiden there and can gain her first success over timber.
