Verdict

DARK PROFIT will be entering uncharted territory over today’s trip but he stayed on well enough over Carlisle’s seven furlongs, and Keith Dalgleish's charge is anticipated to build upon that success. Areen Heart is still open to improvement. He didn't do a great deal wrong at Haydock recently, and has obliged when tried in a hood at Beverley. Town Charter looks the likely pace angle and he would be a danger to all if securing a soft time at the front. Shouranour is likely to be a big price though he should not be dismissed if rain arrives. Torrid was declared to run at Pontefract yesterday and would be worthy of consideration if turning up here.
