Midnite Are Upping The Betting Game Handicap (Rider Restricted Race)

Still 6lb lower than when winning over C&D last May, as he was when beaten only 2l into sixth of 12 at Newcastle (5f, Tapeta) on Thursday; still needs a bit better than that, though.

Record over C&D reads 2311, shrugging off a 10lb rise when beating Hiya Mate by just over a length a week ago; up another 5lb under his penalty, but he appeared to win that race with a bit in hand so is seriously respected in his hat-trick bid.

Record over C&D reads 331252163722, finding Ziggy's Triton just over a length too good a week ago; 5lb pull gives him hope and he should again run his race, but more will be needed if he is to reverse the placings.

Won twice on Tapeta early last year, including over C&D; ran well from 5lb out of the weights when second of six at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) 15 days ago, behind a subsequent winner, and races off a 2lb lower mark now; player.

Won twice over 5f on turf last year and ran well returned to the AW when third of nine at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) in September, but has been off 103 days since; headgear last seven starts but not today.
