A couple arrive on the back of course and distance wins. Poet's Dawn beat Mythical Madness last month and is 3lb higher while Zihaam scored here last week and is penalised 4lb. But MIDNITE BRIDE (NAP) continued her good progress when landing a hat-trick on her reappearance over 7f at Ayr. Kevin Ryan’s filly attempts a mile for the first time today but is a full-sister to a couple of middle-distance winners and has also won in soft going before. Song of The Isles will relish the underfoot conditions and may prove best of the rest.
