Though the winner has been beaten since, DARK AVENGER's second to Frenzified at Salisbury looks easily the best form in this. He should beat last month's Leicester winner Sampera, though Michael Bell's charge is preferred to Shaw Ting and Fidelma Moon. The latter appears to have the beating of Borak on a line through Haydock winner Mythical City.
