        Verdict

        MIDNIGHTLY won at Wolverhampton last time when beating second-placed Something Lucky with Red Stripes further behind. The runner-up has since won at Southwell so the form looks solid enough and Rae Guest’s filly can go in again. Jack The Truth was in front of Jorvik Prince when winning over course and distance in January but has been beaten off today’s mark subsequently while Precious Plum now has plenty to prove after finishing tailed off on her reappearance from a lengthy absence.
