    Verdict

    Darkolva has been picking up plenty of place money in Ireland but a first victory continues to elude Joseph O’Brien’s grey. I’M YER MAN was a 50/1 chance when second over 6f here last time but has obvious claims of going one better if staying the extra and continuing on an upward curve. Blinkers may improve Windsor Cross and Fascinator would not need to be a world-beater to make a winning debut.
