In depth
Verdict
Midnight Force has one piece of form that would give him a chance in a race like this but others are preferred. The Smiling Wolf disappointed at Salisbury last time and The Bitter Moose, along with Battle Charge, also has a bit prove now but GUNS AND FLOWERS has come on in leaps and bounds since joining a yard that has done well with its juveniles this season. Mirroring, placed in three of her four starts to date, may be the danger.
