Tom Segal expects useful handicapper to bounce back to form from nice mark

Midnight Fire
5.20 Leopardstown
1pt win at 12-1

Midnight Fire was a bit lucky to win the Leopardstown Handicap (5.20) on his seasonal debut last year but he proved that run was no fluke when running even better in good handicaps afterwards.

Today he can race off a 3lb lower mark and from a good draw with Chris Hayes booked for a stable that had one go close in a similar race last week, Midnight Fire looks sure to run a big race.
