Race preview
Like his stable, MIDNIGHT JEWEL is in terrific form at present having won three of his last four in this sphere. A 7lb penalty for his most recent success at Huntingdon may not be enough to stop the son of Midnight Legend as he will look to make this a test from the front under regular partner Tom Buckley. Jumping Cats was an impressive winner at Fontwell earlier in the month and he is likely to give the selection most to think about. Maliboo could also figure.
