Travelled strongly and improved to land a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Newcastle last time. Effective over 8f and suited by AW; this new mark demands more but he arrives in fine form.

Verdict

MIDNIGHT LION lines up here in search of a hat-trick following taking wins at Newcastle and, assuming he'll transfer that good form to this venue, Jim Goldie's charge might take a bit of beating. Zryan is another in-form horse to consider and he's gone well at this track before, while Dingle won at Newcastle last month and must also be taken seriously.

Top Tip: Midnight Lion (6)
Watch out for: Zryan (5)

Expert View Verdict

The drop in trip won't be an issue for ZRYAN, who travelld well en route to success over 10f at Newcastle last time and looks to have the pace for this, indeed he was just denied over C&D back in September. He looks progressive enough to defy his latest rise. Dingle has won three of his last five starts, showing improved form off the front at Newcastle last time, and there's no reason why he won't go well again, making him the danger to the selection. Third choice is First Ambition, who wasn't seen at his best last time but is already a C&D winner and still has potential after just a handful of starts.
