Dawnieriver was beaten a long way by Silent Steps at Southwell in December. She is 8lb better off but hasn’t raced since. MIDNIGHT FOLIE didn’t show much under Rules first time around but has been a revelation between the flags, winning seven times. If she can translate that form, she is well treated on a mark of 85. Gowell’s points form has been less impressive and Mrsrobin has been struggling to recapture last summer’s form.
