Verdict
Something of a lottery to end proceedings with a speculative vote going to ANGEL OF DARKNESS after going close over today’s trip at Newmarket last time. Dark Intention has been raised 5lb for winning at York a fortnight ago and Areen Heart was placed carrying top weight at Beverley last week. Prevent returns to 7f after scoring over 6f at Newmarket and can figure while Cricklewood Green won this off a higher mark last year. Perfect Hustler and Warsaw Road are not out of this and handicap debutant Glenglade is another to consider.
