Verdict
Potters Midnight contributed to the recent good form of Lucy Wadham’s stable when winning at Lingfield in January. She was then third to a subsequent winner at Market Rasen and beat ALL MY LOVE a length in this last year. But Pam Sly’s mare is now 5lb better off and she also arrives in good form having won at Lingfield last month. Thistimenextyear is still a maiden but is back in the right grade so shouldn’t be ignored while Zoffany Bay has been getting closer. Lazarus has only won a claimer so far and Embole and Demopolis have become disappointing.
