Darkened was three lengths behind Hidden Spark when that one won at Gowran but should get closer on the revised terms. Dark Design beat the latter half-a-length on the same track and they meet on the same terms while Is Fantastic also ran at Gowran last time when runner-up to Gatsby Cap and is only 1lb higher. CRYSTAL POOL went up 9lb for a short-head victory at Gowran, with Kew Palace well beaten, but ran another fine race when attempting to concede Praying Mantis 12lb at Listowel and can return to winning ways. Lady Leonora makes a quick reappearance after attempting to make all over 1m2f at Navan where she was in the lead at this trip before fading.
