In depth
Verdict
There are unlikely to be many racegoers delaying their departure to take in this bumper and Jamie Snowden looks to have found a good opportunity for MIDNIGHT SILVER to open his account. Her second to Isla Fernandos at Wetherby looks head and shoulders above anything achieved by the three others with experience. Calin Du Brizais is jumps bred and looks the pick of the newcomers.
