      Verdict

      Darshini has struggled off higher marks since scoring at Doncaster early last year but should be stronger this season. Muntadab also won at Doncaster earlier this month and landed his maiden on the all-weather earlier but Muhaafiz looked in need of some respite from the handicapper when recording a string of placed efforts last term. EMERALD won at Newmarket in October and a recent spin at Doncaster should have brought him on. Placed at this track in August, he could go close re-united with winning partner Andrea Atzeni. Illusive remains 7lb higher than last season's win at Yarmouth and course and distance winner Sarsted was beaten a long way in second back here last time.
