In depth
Verdict
Dark Room put up a much-improved performance when romping home on his handicap debut at Market Rasen last time, and can follow up here at the expense of Agincourt, who was runner-up on that occasion and reopposes on seven pounds better terms. Paxford Jack continues to go the right way and should certainly be good enough to find a place, while the others look largely ordinary. Libido has a chance on his best form but has been out of sorts lately and is much better on a left-handed course.
