In depth
Verdict
Midnight Streaker is a frequent visitor to these shores and the Ballymena raider has a couple of seconds to her name. She's probably high enough in the weights but this won't take much winning. Gibbstown is best watched following a break and Itstimeforapint may need another run but Noir Girl won at Huntingdon before being pulled up at Perth. OMID had a run on the Flat nine days ago and caught the eye making late headway having been held up well off the pace. That should have blown away a few cobwebs and Evelyn Slack's charge has decent claims here over a more suitable distance.
