Verdict
Midnight Our Fred won over hurdles here in May and makes his chasing debut along with Rexem and Riaan, who have both won twice over timber. But PERCY WARNER has placed over fences at Naas and that experience should stand Henry De Bromhead’s charge in good stead here on his first outing since March. Tempo Chapter Two should also improve with last month’s chasing debut under his belt and is preferred to Flaming Moon.
