Verdict

Cases can be made for any number of these, but it could pay to take a chance on MIDNIGHT'S DREAM, who has offered little for current connections but ran quite well on both previous starts in headgear (first-time visor applied here) and is down markedly in grade. Mini Mac is down to a handy mark if able to back up his recent Leicester second so heads up the dangers, with Woodleigh, Mercurius Power and Back From Dubai a handful of others to consider, too.

1	Placed at Newcastle on final outing for Roger Varian in January but little promise on the all-weather in 4 starts since. However, he ran quite well both previous starts in headgear and worth noting he's down markedly in grade for this return to turf. 1st Pick 1 Midnight's Dream (Ire) Jockey: Cieren Fallon Trainer: Joseph Parr J: Cieren Fallon T: Joseph Parr	100	-	-	-	5%	20/1

15	Hasn't won since last May but turned in best effort of the season when second of 11 at Leicester (7f, firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Down to a handy mark on last year's form if able to back that up. 2nd Pick 15 Mini Mac (Ire) Jockey: Jack Nicholls Trainer: Jessica Macey J: Jack Nicholls T: Jessica Macey	94	-	-	-	15%	6/1

12	Doubled his tally for current connections with the step back up in trip in his favour in 12-runner event at Redcar (1¼m, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago. Bit surprising to see him back down in trip (2 of 3 career wins come from 4 starts he's had at 1¼m+). Considered nonetheless. 3rd Pick 12 Woodleigh (Ire) Jockey: Kevin Stott Trainer: Roger Fell J: Kevin Stott T: Roger Fell	96	-	-	-	17%	5/1
