      Verdict

      DUSKY LORD landed the odds in a maiden over 6f at Brighton on his belated reappearance and Roger Varian’s charge may have enough improvement to defy a penalty over this shorter trip. Miss Behaving also drops in distance having finished fourth at Doncaster while Twilight Secret disappointed at Bath last time. Tantastic is more exposed and has undergone wind surgery after returning a losing favourite here back in June.
