In depth

Verdict

DARK ISLAND set too fast a pace at Wolverhampton and paid the price. Beaten only a nose in Class 3 company at Sandown before that, he gets the vote back at this lower level. Unplugged has proven best on Turf so far and placed at Haydock but Silver Nightfall has won twice on the all-weather this year. Denis Anthony scored at Ffos Las in June and has more scope than Genesius.
