Richard Fahey is mob handed with eight runners but DARKANNA looks the best of them. Fifth in the Group 1 Cheveley Park at Newmarket last time, she has every chance on today’s terms and is preferred to stablemate and handicap winner Crownthorpe. De Bruyne Horse drops in class but has lost his way since winning a Listed race in France back in August while Green Fortune is another who has been struggling for form in tougher races than this. Red Roman went close in a nursery at Newbury recently and Never Back Down is one of the least exposed having won a novice race Leicester back in April. Flying Sparkle beat Hunni at Windsor and the latter won a nursery at Newmarket last time while John Kirkup is favourably treated at the weights.
