Midnight Glance is chasing a hat-trick of course victories but Alan King’s gelding had less than four lengths to spare over MYSPACENOTYOURS two runs ago and the latter is now 8lb better off. Long-standing maiden Kilkeaskin Molly will likely need this but Call Off The Dogs could figure from near the foot of the weights and Russian Exile is also worth a second look. Felton Bellevue makes his handicap debut in modest company having placed on soft ground at Hereford earlier in the year.
