Midnight It Is (7/2), Fascile Mode (4/1), My Mate Mozzie (11/2), Captains Nephew (6/1), An Peann Dearg (8/1), Shanbally Kid (12/1), Dont Go Yet (14/1), Indiana Jones (16/1), A Law Of Her Own (18/1), Mr Saxobeat (28/1), Ha D'Or (28/1), Lisnamult Lad (40/1), Gaelic Arc (40/1), Grange Walk (50/1)
Plenty with chances but MIDNIGHT IT IS rates the pick of the weights on the back of his good recent Fairyhouse third so looks the way to go. Handicap-debutant Fascile Mode could emerge as the main danger, although An Peann Dearg, Captains Nephew and My Mate Mozzie are others to consider in a competitive handicap chase.
