If MIDNIGHT SHADOW stays this longer trip, he's expected to be hard to beat in his hat-trick attempt after his win last time out. Wholestone was runner-up that day and is always thereabouts in these races while Lil Rockerfeller can't be ruled out on his best form back over hurdles in what looks like a red hot renewal of the race.
