      Verdict

      MIDNIGHT TRADER looks to have a good chance of opening his account. He just failed to catch Grandmas Dream when dropped back to this trip at Lingfield last month and Paul D'Arcy's charge can go one better in this company. Sparking has been placed in handicaps here recently and she makes more appeal on that form than either Francis Albert or Gorgeous Goblin, while Stoneacre Joe Joe has yet to show any worthwhile form. Kaminski Kabs is probably best watched on her debut.
