In depth

Verdict

Stellify could do with some rain as he scored on heavy ground at the Curragh in November and it was soft when just failing to concede Aunty Audrey 16lb at Gowran last month. Dazzling Darren is 3-22, all of those victories coming on the all-weather in the UK, but the lightly-raced Unanswered has the scope to do better. MISS LOUISE is 1-26 but ended the last campaign with a very good run at Cork and may be good enough in an ordinary handicap where the market may provide some clues.
