MIDNIGHT GLORY has run well over this trip in the past and she can register her second career success in this concluding mares handicap hurdle. The selection put in a decent effort last time out and can get the better of Big Penny who finished a good second here last time out while What A Diva is taken to finish third with any overnight rain a positive with regards her chances.
