12st 1lb |
Three-time chase winner on good ground, twice over 2m2f here; on a tempting mark now but has lost his way a bit this season and conditions are likely to remain softer than he prefers today. |

5th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Took a while to get his act together over fences but came good with comfortable win at Doncaster (2m3f, good) last month and is still quite well handicapped if judged on best hurdling form; likely contender. |

Made more of an impact over hurdles but he's not been discredited in recent chase starts; hooded on last 11 starts but now has cheekpieces. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Without a win since 2021 but has made the frame on all four starts this season, most notably when second at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) two runs ago; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if the first-time cheekpieces give him a boost. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four wins divided between hurdles and fences; has raced mostly at about 2m but seemed to stay Sedgefield's extended 2m3f (soft) when runner-up three weeks ago; drops into a Class 5 here and must have a chance. |

11th Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Had a good spell before Christmas with wins at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) and Ascot (2m3f, good), albeit presented with the latter race on a plate by the wayward runner-up; little to recommend him on subsequent soft-ground runs, though, including in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham, and just 1lb lower than for those two defeats. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Overhauled Calico late on over C&D (good to soft) in November and he was the one to profit from Harper's Brook pulling himself up in front at Ascot (2m3f, good) just before Christmas; looked in trouble a long way out and something presumably not right when a remote last of five finishers at Lingfield (2m, soft) in January; freshened up since and his overall profile in the last year or so is positive. |

13th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 1lb lower at Worcester (2m, good) last summer; ended last year with two very laboured efforts but combination of better ground and ease in grade may enable him to get more competitive here; cheekpieces (left off last time) are back on. |

20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Didn't lead as usual when ultimately pulled up at Kempton last month; did win his previous chase start at Worcester in August (2m, good) off 4lb lower but just three ran that day and, with competition for the lead seemingly assured, he'll do well to win this. |

11st 12lb |
Proved a reliable sort last season when a two-time chase winner but he's failed to complete (pulled up/fell) in his two runs this term; has some questions to answer and he needs to get back on track. |

30th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced mare; won over hurdles in France; not exactly solid on her British form but this drop back to 2m looks a plus on second chase start; may improve. |

29th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Hurdle winner in France in 2020; pulled up on British/handicap debut in February but her fourth at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft; first-time hood) was more encouraging and she's another 4lb lower for today's seasonal/chase debut; hood left off this time; could have a say. |
10/1 |
Verdict
Midnight Midge has done pretty well for his new stable since the autumn but he was flattered by his proximity when second here 12 days ago and would appeal more on good ground. Preference is for MONGOL EMPEROR, who is unexposed over fences and comes here after two promising runs. Piccadilly Lilly weakened rather tamely on her chasing debut in the autumn but might be seen to better effect over this shorter trip and is second choice.[Chris Wilson]
