Midnight Drive interesting back at Kempton

Warmonger can resume winning ways

Darkzideofthemoon can open his account
Midnight Drive showed improved form to open her account on her handicap debut over this course and distance in April and she progressed further when following up the following month.
She did so in much more comfortable fashion that day, never too far away in a slowly-run race but still impressing with how she put the race to bed. Midnight Drive failed to land a hat-trick on her turf debut last month, but she fared best of those who were held up, and left the impression she remains on a good mark.
That was also her first start for four months, so she's entitled to strip fitter, and she makes plenty of appeal returned to this course and distance where she has won both of her starts.

Warmonger has shown improved form since moving up to two miles, deservedly opening his account at Lingfield (turf) in July and he followed up in good style in a race which has worked out well two weeks later.
He was surprisingly weak in the betting, but produced another career-best effort when completing a hat-trick over this course and distance last month, value for at least double the winning margin given how heavily he was eased at the finish.
Warmonger was unable to land a four-timer in a competitibe Racing League handicap at Southwell last time, but he improved further in defeat, doing well to finish as close as he did in a steadily-run race. He is 3 lb higher now but this look a very winnable race and he is fancied to quickly get back on the up.

Darkzideofthemoon was brought along with handicaps in mind, showing ability without being knocked about in three starts last season, but he didn't show much on his first two starts of this year on turf.
He finished nearer last than first in both those starts, but he returned to form back on an artificial surface when runner-up over this course and distance in June, and is of interest on that running.
Darkzideofthemoon shaped well that day, too, conceding first run to a next-time-out winner, and leaving the impression he is up to winning races from this sort of mark. He goes in first-time cheekpieces now and looks interesting from just 1 lb higher.
