NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT was a 66/1 chance on her debut at Windsor but belied her odds with a very good run, staying on strongly in the closing stages after missing the break. She can make that experience count here. Mick Channon has two entries and The Kiddie Kid has more pace in his pedigree than Dan's Dream. Lyford is certain to stay further in time but Prezzie could provide a real threat as she's the second foal of a mare who produced the useful two-year-old winner Double Gain with her first. Ghost Serge has a very similar pedigree and he's by the speedy Zebedee so should have pace to burn.
