Formscan - Midnight Lion is chasing a fourth consecutive victory over C&D and the five-year-old is effectively only 3lb higher than his triumph here six days ago if taking Amie Waugh's 3lb claim into consideration. However, this rise into class 2 company does demand more from the son of Nathaniel and handicap debutant NORTHERN RULER may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. Karl Burke's colt had little difficulty in opening his account on his stable bow at this track recently and there should be more to come. Dark Moon Rising is also noted.
