Timeform Verdict

MIDNIGHT IT IS scored on his final outing last season and hit the ground running on return when bolting up at Navan last month, so he's worth a chance to complete the hat-trick for all that this is a tougher assignment. His stablemate The King of Prs is a threat along with Lets Go Champ.
