Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Handicap

Won twice in quick succession over 5f at Wolverhampton last month; runner-up there next time but only fifth latest.

Creditable second over 7f at Southwell in January but well held back there (7f again) last month; connections have had a rethink over the trip on the back of that, dropping him to 5f for the first time since his 3yo reappearance.

Well handicapped but hasn't obviously hinted as if likely to take advantage soon in his two outings this year, finishing last of six at Southwell last Saturday; visored first time.

This 9yo hasn't won his summer 2024 but is on his lowest mark for some time and is entitled to strip fitter for his reappearance sixth over C&D in January.

All 23 starts for Johnny Murtagh in Ireland were on turf, placing in 5f handicaps on her final three outings last year; new connections acquired her 18,000gns in October; the betting should help guide as to whether she's likely to be fully primed for this reappearance and AW debut.
