Verdict

DARK ENERGY was given a poor ride last time and can make amends today. Although not a winning machine, the selection attracted lots of support before a recent Stratford run. He was given far too much to do in a hands and heels race and was ultimately lucky to get third. Perfect Reward is respected back from a break and he is fairly-treated at these weights, whilst Holiday Cocktail is partnered by AP McCoy as he bids to follow up his Hexham win. Liberty Seeker has had a consistent autumn, and along with the returning Wyeth he is not discounted in this line-up.
