Verdict
DASHING DARCEY landed the odds in convincing style over track and trip last time. An apprentice’s allowance reduces a penalty and the Varian colt looks worth sticking with. L‘Eagle Aid and Snooker Mccrew finished well behind the selection while Character Testing has now found one too good in all three starts and steps up in trip. The newcomer Belarmindar is related to a winner on the all-weather.
