Verdict

MIDNIGHT MEETING won easily at Nottingham last month and should make another bold bid despite carrying a penalty over this longer trip. He’s conceding plenty of weight to Respectable but the latter is having her first start since finishing fourth at Ascot last year and Saeed bin Suroor’s colt has little to fear from the rest, who have yet to show any worthwhile form.
