A difficult start for punters, but Dara Mac does hold strong claims and can beat Zanjeer and Prime Offer. Following a promising effort over course and distance, the selection finally managed to win a race at the 29th attempt, beating Noble Pursuit by a comfortable two and half lengths. That was only in a seller but this contest isn't much stronger and Dara Mac has a great chance of following up. Zanjeer goes well for inexperienced riders and scooted up in a weak event here last time, he will be a big threat to all, despite top-weight. Best of the others could be Prime Offer who is in top form following recent victories at Yarmouth and Newmarket. Oscar Pepper is must also be in with a squeak on his best form, but Dara Mac has now found out how to win and can go in again.
