      Verdict

      MIDNIGHT CALLISTO was a disappointing favourite at Doncaster last month but a wide-margin maiden winner at Exeter before that. However, arguably her best run came earlier on good going at Taunton when chasing home the prolific Lime Drop. She can take advantage of the 4lb she receives from Crystal Gazing, though the top weight is back on a winning mark. The remainder probably all have a bit to prove at present
