Midnight Media

His two wins came at Wolverhampton in July and Nottingham in August, and it is at distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs that he shows his best form — he has won one of three races at that trip, a win rate of 33 percent. Since his last victory at Nottingham three weeks ago, he has run twice more and placed both times, which is exactly what you want to see from a young horse: he is racing often, staying competitive, and not going backwards. His recent run just yesterday shows he is being kept active and sharp by his trainers.

Midnight Media is in the hands of William Muir and Chris Grassick at their Lambourn yard, which has had a productive season with twenty winners already. That kind of consistent output suggests a well-organised stable where horses are placed thoughtfully and campaigned with purpose. For a three-year-old who is still on the climb, with sound recent form and a clear distance preference, there is every reason to think Midnight Media could pick up more wins as he continues to mature and find the races that suit him best.
