Not much to get excited about here given DARTRIX was still beaten over eight lengths when third at Pontefract last time and that's the best piece of form on offer. She had both Elegant Girl and Toodeloo behind last month and the former has since finished behind fifth placed Imperial Legend at Thirsk with Rich Again further back. Neither Compton Time and Optimum Rose made any impression on their respective debuts and the betting may give the best clue as to which one of this modest bunch is expected to improve.
