DARK DON may have improved since finishing runner-up at Ripon in September. If so, he should be good enough to land this and is just preferred to another returning to action, close-up Lingfield fifth Superciliary. Picture Dealer was well ahead of Compton Crofter when fifth over 6f here last time and Grey Seal can finish closer than the six lengths she was beaten on her comeback run at Lingfield. Bowstar is a sister to the useful Brave Echo and could go well on her debut.
