      Verdict

      Awake At Midnight didn’t stay 2m3f at Warwick in May and is better judged on earlier placed efforts over this trip. He should be winning soon but today’s going may be faster than ideal. SHIROCCAN ROLL (NAP) was impressive making his hurdling debut at Newton Abbot and probably has more to offer. He can defy his penalty ahead of bumper winners Back On The Lash and Skidoosh. Family Man was placed twice in points in the spring but this looks on the short side.
