      Verdict

      Dark Defender makes a quick reappearance after finishing second at Hamilton last Friday and made all over 6f here earlier with Holmeswood and Dawoodi well beaten. Fast Act is another front-runner and was never headed when scoring at Chelmsford last season while it was soft ground when Elysian Flyer won at Thirsk in May. But ROYAL BRAVE Notched -up a hat-trick earlier this year with a victory over course and distance and Rebecca Bastiman’s sprinter gets another chance today off his current mark.
