Midnight Whisper and Castlemorris King both carry penalties for victories on the same card at Taunton six days ago and have more on their plate here, though the latter looks the pick of that pair today. SCALES finished clear of High Ville and Clouds Of Mist when third over 2m1f here four weeks ago and should have no problem confirming the form over this extra quarter of a mile. Richard Lee's gelding had got off the mark over hurdles at Taunton on his previous start and looks to be in good form at present so can land this with Get Home Now and Little Eaglet both lacking a recent run.
