Verdict
Dariya finished ahead of Monday’s Market Rasen winner Little Stevie when fifth at Stratford. She’s had wind surgery since and is no forlorn hope in this, though MABELA is just preferred. Dan Skelton’s mare clearly needed her run at Market Rasen earlier in the month and is only a pound higher than when successful at Taunton last season. Absolute Jaffa is another who will strip fitter for a recent outing but Floral Bouquet will probably need some help from the handicapper and maiden Cotton End may have been flattered by her run at Stratford.
