Verdict
Darling Du Large has made the frame in all three starts over timber but her form is nothing special. DIEU BENISSE had every chance when falling at Wincanton on Boxing Day and also when suffering a similar fate here in January. She needs a confidence-booster but should land this if putting in a clear round. Absolute Jaffa wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Market Rasen but gives the impression she’ll need a step up in trip and the others have even more to find.
