Formscan By Donal Murphy - MIDNIGHT STRIKE might be able to defy top-weight on his first try in handicap company. Proven on testing ground, he should appreciate this drop in class. Already twice successful this season, On A Session has a course win to his name and warrants the utmost respect with Oisin Murphy booked to ride. Grey Leader is another course winner in the line-up and he wasn't beaten far when fourth at Galway on his most recent start. Making the breakthrough at Killarney last month, Vega's Muse will have her supporters, while Chazzesmee and Secret Magician are others for the shortlist.
