      Verdict

      Five of this field have already won at the track. DARK AND DANGEROUS kept on well to beat Strait Run and Fiddler's Flight over course and distance earlier this month and it may be worth sticking with Simon Waugh’s charge off a 6lb higher mark. Stilo Blue Native beat a subsequent winner here in November and is only 2lb higher but Astrum has disappointed since winning a maiden on the course last April. Boethius is the least exposed but reverted to type at Fontwell last time after a better effort at Ffos Las.
