Verdict
Until Midnight can’t get much lower in the weights and Picture Dealer has plummeted down the handicap so is also worth a second look. Gold Club has been getting closer and case can probably also be made for Rockley Point but COMPAS SCOOBIE (NAP) hasn’t stopped improving yet judged on an easy win at Wolverhampton last Saturday and, unpenalised, he showed enough on Turf last season to suggest a first win on this surface is on the cards.
