Midnight Strike
Useful 2yo for Joseph O'Brien; poorly drawn and finished well beaten in a C&D handicap on stable debut this month (100-1); he has fared better with the draw today but others still look more appealing.

From the connections
“I thought Midnight Strike was a nice colt but didn't expect him to win like that. He looks an Ascot-type horse and he's another nice Starspangledbanner for the owners [Teme Valley]. We thought he'd stay six but was certainly quick enough to start at five. He looks very smart - Joseph O'Brien, trainer.”
