    Verdict

    Dark Charm gets the confident vote in the opener with Mountain Pass and Climate and Machinate heading the list of dangers. The selection is well in on official BHA figures hails from a yard in fair form and under conditions that should suit he looks the one to be on. Mountain Pass rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Arturius but he would be much better off with the selection if this was a handicap and he is taken on with this in mind. Machinate was behind Mountain Pass last time and although slightly better off at the weights he has a little to find. Climate is another that could go well as he beat Castle Frome last time out but that was only a four runner affair and this looks tougher and for the winner we return to Dark Charm who looks to have plenty in hand.
