Richard Hannon has sent out the last two winners and OUT OF THE DARK should make a bold bid. She steps up in trip after winning over 7f at Goodwood last time but a couple of subsequent winners have come out of that race. She’s preferred to the other recent maiden winner Wholesome but Desert Haze also finished ahead of a couple of subsequent winners when landing a handicap at Carlisle and should go well again raised only 3lb. Ryan Moore takes over the reins on Wolverhampton runner-up Bocking End while Giveaway Glance won at Lingfield last year and makes most appeal of the remainder.
