In depth
Verdict
Dazzling Darren was brilliantly placed to complete a hat-trick of all-weather victories in the UK and looked like making it a four-timer over this track and trip last week until caught on the line by a gambled-on winner. The handicapper has raised him 5lb and the one that caught the eye in the race, LITTLE BROTHER, can reverse the places and take this. He would have gone very close to winning but for veering badly left and Andrew Slattery's strong handling can see him home. Divine Celt was staying on strongly over a mile at Gowran and with Colin Keane booked has to be a threat to all while Fryerns is another who caught the eye last time.
