      Verdict

      This is going to be a tough test for three-year-olds so the experience BORAK gained from his third behind Duke Of Sonning at Uttoxeter should stand him in good stead –he won twice on soft going on the Flat. Trainer Bernard Llewellyn also runs German import Nabhan but he returns from a 400-day break. Darkening Night never really fired for James Tate on the Flat but he's got a decent pedigree and maybe the switch to hurdles will bring about some improvement.
