Verdict
Dartington has been coming along nicely in lesser contests and was second in this grade at Leicester in the summer. But it’s difficult to look beyond NEENEE’S CHOICE, who coped easily with a step up to this trip at Salisbury. The second that day won at Sandown last week. End Result could be interesting back over 1m2f as she was a winner over track and trip last year, though she has been a beaten favourite the last twice. Remedium has place claims again but Alternative Fact is possibly best over a mile on soft or heavy going.
