      Verdict

      Dandy Times won a point in Ireland in March but only two of the four-runner field finished. Darkest Day ran in a Down Royal bumper in May and made a promising debut for Gary Moore over timber at Sandown last weekend while Hold That Taught looks a fine addition to the Venetia Williams team after landing a point at Turtulla in March. YAA SALAAM, five-times a winner on the Flat in Germany, showed enough in two starts for David Pipe in the spring to suggest he can land this moderate contest though he'll need to prove he acts on the ground.
