Black Ebony has been lightly raced but is having a first run of 2021. Ten Past Midnight has won his last two but steps up a grade raised 5lb. What A Glance has gone up 8lb for a first career win at Worcester but that was a big step forward. The three-year-old The Yellow Mini has only failed to make the frame once in five outings and makes her handicap debut but will have stamina to prove, BEMBRIDGE wasn’t given a hard time making his reappearance at Ffos Las. This better ground will suit and he’ll strip fitter today.
