Midnite, Building The Future Of Betting Amateur Jockeys' Handicap

Well held in three bumpers and four runs on the Flat; offered more on his handicap debut four weeks ago, though, off a 2lb higher mark in first-time cheekpieces (faded late as hold-up runners came to the fore); due to run 8.20 here Friday.

Maiden who's been threatening of late; got the ability to win off this mark but been worried out of it a few times and was again inclined to hang left latest; switches to a visor from cheekpieces under Laurie Gallacher, who's taking a first ride under rules.

Showed he could do it away from Wolverhampton when a 1m3f winner here in January off the same mark; back to that sort of level lately and holds each-way claims.

Made it 11th-time lucky in a 0-50 classfied event at Wolverhampton (1m4f, Tapeta) last month, but enjoyed anything but a clear run in a handicap over 1m6f there eight days later; shortlisted.

Not had many starts over this longer trip and appreciated the stiffer test when springing a surprise on his Lingfield comeback under Jessica Llewellyn recently; no surprise to see him follow up off a 4lb higher mark.
