MIDNIGHT SHADOW has the strongest form on offer here, despite just the one win so far. Sue Smith's charge handles these conditions and looks capable of adding a second success. Keyboard Gangster and Think Ahead can probably fight out bridesmaid honours, though Kapga De Lily is an interesting newcomer to hurdles.
