      Verdict

      Both ALPIN KING and Noonday Gun came up against the potentially-smart Darain when finishing fourth on their latest starts at Newbury and Newmarket respectively. But the former finished behind a subsequent winner and that looks the stronger form. Do You Love Me shares the same handicap rating as the selection though has gone backwards since finishing third of four at Newmarket on her debut but Beholden and Let Me B are bumper winners with the latter expected to improve for this longer trip having struggled over a mile at Hamilton. Citronella’s pedigree gives mixed signals but she’s a newcomer to note.
