Formscan - BORN AT MIDNIGHT has taken a big step forward this term, shedding the maiden tag on seasonal reappearance, and the Bill Turner-trained gelding can continue his ascendancy in this contest. Despite being no match for the winner at Ludlow last time out, the seven-year-old can make amends off an unchanged mark. The consistent Boagrius was no match for the selection at Taunton but can get closer courtesy of a 5lb swing in his favour. Kingsmill Gin is another to consider.
