Verdict
Darlyn was all out to score at Sedgefield but gives the impression she’ll be suited by this first try over 3m. Market Rasen runner-up Copper Gone West has been raised a pound but should be thereabouts again while Versifier was only beaten a head at the same track last time. Coded Message is fairly consistent and starting to come down the weights but ZIGGY ROSE has more scope than her rivals and the handicapper hasn’t gone overboard after a couple of second places over inadequate distances. Angels Antics is a sound stayer over fences but last ran over hurdles in April of last year and is only 1-15.
