In depth

Verdict

Dark Gentleman can land the finale at the expense of Broadway Star and Oswie. The selection caught the eye on his racecourse debut at Hexham when second to Corkage. That was a fine effort in a competitve race and with race experience now on his side he ought to be good enough to go one better. Broadway Star is an interesting newcomer that looks a nice type on breeding. Connections are worth following in these types of races and the markert will play a fair guide to his chances. The same can be said regarding Oswie who comes from a yard having winners and generally have them ready to win first time of asking. But for the winner we will side with the experience of Dark Gentleman.
