Verdict

This looks a fairly open affair, but we'll give the vote to DART, in preference to Bold Bobby Be and Victory Quest. The selection has been off the track since winning here over 11 furlongs in December. The only question marks would be over the long lay-off and the step up in trip, but she's had plenty in reserve on previous occasions. Victory Quest is a course and distance winner, and a regular in this sort of contest, who had rewarded backers on a consistent basis. Bold Bobby Be ended a run of disappointing results by winning at Bath last time out over a slightly shorter trip. He's been inconsistent, but is now dropped down to a decent mark. A number here have course and or distance winning form, including our selection, Dart.
