Forecasts

American Mike (4/1), Hunters Yarn (9/2), Midnight It Is (6/1), The King Of Prs (6/1), Lets Go Champ (8/1), Path D'oroux (8/1), Fils D'oudairies (8/1), The Banger Doyle (14/1), Rebel Gold (16/1), Ha D'Or (16/1), Captains Nephew (20/1), Must Be Obeyed (25/1), Grange Walk (33/1)

Verdict

MIDNIGHT IT IS scored on his final outing last season and hit the ground running on return when bolting up at Navan last month, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick for all that this is a tougher assignment. His stablemate The King of Prs is a threat along with Lets Go Champ.
