It’s a long time since the 14-year-old Midnight Mustang got his head in front but he led over the last over a bit further here 10 days ago. Newberry New placed here last month after winning at Catterick but CELMA DES BOIS is capable of winning off his current mark if he can be persuaded to put his best foot forward. Cobra Commander, second to course specialist This Breac here last time, has been knocking on the door but is now 0-12 and K'chou Du Pecos AA is also still seeking a first victory.
