Won In The Dark would comfortably be the pick on his form earlier this year but he's gone off the boil and has been beaten by ONEEIGHTOFAMILE on his two latest starts, including when last of four at Cork.

Now This Is It ran an excellent race behind the classy Overturn at Perth a week ago and a repeat of that should see him in the mix.
