      Verdict

      MIDNIGHT DESTINY was run out of it in the closing stages at Lingfield when dropped into this lowly grade. She should be thereabouts again with a similar effort but Spray Tan has something to find on earlier running while Anfield could finish no closer in similar company at Kempton back in September. Single Summit has had eight starts but this is his first time in a handicap and he may finish closer.
