MIDNIGHT SHADOW was still tanking along when he came down at Carlisle and although it was still some way out, you'd have to think he would have gone close had he stayed on his feet. He can gain compensation for that unlucky tumble at the expense of last year's winner Activial and Jarvey's Plate, who made a good impression at Chepstow and will look to build on that here. Keeper Hill will be a threat if his sometimes suspect jumping holds up.
