Formscan - MIDNIGHT VIEW had Snapius behind in fourth when getting off the mark by just over two lengths at Warwick and even a 6lb rise might underestimate the level of authority he showed that day. Provided Matt Sheppard's gelding can back that performance up, he will prove hard to beat. Jafimgoso showed little when only seventh at Huntingdon, but his mark continues to drop and the bumper winner has Harry Skelton back on board.
