This Premier Hurdle saw The Midnight Shift win very easily indeed after running along fifth the inside and then third the inner at the 1000m. He was angled off and reached second at the 600m then took over before the home turn and ran away to win by five and a half lengths in 3:28.52. The winners and where they turned for home in race order were led (three-off the inside and a length clear), fourth (four-off the inside and two and a half lengths from the leader), led (six lengths clear centre track), third (trailed inner and length and a half from the leader), fifth (five wide and three and a half lengths from the leader), sixth (on the inside and four lengths from the leader), third (three-off the inside and half a length from the leader), fourth (four-off the inside and length and a half from the leader), third (one-off the inside and two lengths from the leader), fourth (on the inside and two lengths from the leader) and led (three lengths ahead the fence). It was his second win from four hurdle outings and obviously his first attempt at Blacktype. He is just a 5yo gelding so has it all ahead of him after showing this much jumping potential so early into his career. Revolution set the pace and held onto second while Grinner ran on well from third in a gap across the top and being fourth at the 600m. Tommyra also fought well for fourth after reaching sixth the outer and being fifth across the top. Of those that finished the rest came in at intervals beaten from over eleven lengths up to over twenty-one lengths. Laekeeper and Lake Superior fell and lost their riders respectively at the second fence while sadly Bad Boy Brown fell at the fifth fence and had to be euthanized humanely afterwards. The Midnight Shift won too well for any excuses and he looks a jumping find so early into his career.
