Formscan - A tricky puzzle to solve and only a tentative vote can go to MIDNITE RUNNER. Having been gelded over the winter, Michael Dods' charge returned with a creditable fifth over an extended 7f at Beverley 19 days ago. He wasn't unbacked when sent off at odds of 12/1 in a valuable Newmarket sales race in August of last year, too, suggesting better was expected. This flatter track could play to his strengths and, if doing so, his current mark looks well within range. Both Mr Irrelevant and Diddy Man go in search of their respective hat-tricks and must enter calculations, along with Quiet Resolve, who was far from disgraced in a class 3 over track and trip 10 days ago.
