Drummers Drumming looked certain to finally end his long wait for a first victory when leading on the run-in at Stratford last time but once again found nothing when push came to shove. He's 3lb higher now and will probably find at least one too good again. MIDNIGHT MYTH left previous form well behind when scoring at Hereford last month. She has McCoy doing the steering here and can follow up. Momkinzain and Umverti should be pressing for a place again but neither look to be on the cusp of losing their maiden tag.
