Verdict
Ten Past Midnight is on a winning mark and rarely runs a bad race but he’s not run over a trip this far before so stamina will have to be taken on trust. Jack The Farmer was only beaten a nose at Uttoxeter last month and won at Worcester over the summer but today’s ground would be a concern. RUBYS REWARD has placed a couple of times on soft going and she came up against an improver at Worcester last month. Harry Cobden keeps the partnership intact and Debra Hamer’s mare can get the better of Newton Abbot winner Coal Fire in receipt of 15lb. Kimberley Eve might be improving but is still a maiden and she looks held on the form book.
