      Verdict

      Later Darling will probably run his race again without being quite good enough. Eljenob is rated a pound higher and will likely strip fitter for his recent third at Ffos Las but MAGHLAAK (NAP) looks worth sticking with. Charlie Hills knows the family of the Kempton winner, who is a half-brother to several smart performers and should improve further for a switch to Turf. Seeola was still showing signs of inexperience here 11 days ago and the newcomers Gonnetot and Jean Danjou are both worth a market check.
