Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap

On same mark as for his Goodwood win (1m) for Gary and Josh Moore last summer; made a low-key start for new yard last month but he returned to form with a creditable third here (1m2f) last time; was strong at the finish in that race and he's in the mix at this new trip.

Well held in his four runs for Roger Varian and latest was over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in December; changed hands for 8,000gns since; still unexposed and now goes handicapping but needs a transformation on stable debut.

Won over this trip in two of his first four handicaps and he had an excuse when upped to 2m on slow ground at Doncaster last July; been absent since but he still has potential and needs a close look back in trip on his return; reapplied cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Bumper winner who won a handicap at Wolverhampton (1m4f) in November but his form has nosedived in last two starts; now drops back to this trip but he has a patchy profile and others are more convincing.

Runner-up in three bumpers in early 2025; has had four Flat runs this year and he made the breakthrough on handicap debut at Kempton (1m3f; cheekpieces added) three weeks ago; up 3lb for that narrow success but he was strong at the finish and is open to more progress over this longer trip; strongly respected.
