      Verdict

      Jamie Osborne is really struggling to find a race for Dark Avenger and the fitting of blinkers here smacks of desperation. FAERY SONG hasn't been easy to place either but she's only been raised a pound since a close-up third over a similar trip at Leicester and is the most likely winner of this ahead of Lingfield fourth Approaching and Pink Diamond, who is back on the same mark as when successful over track and trip just over a year ago but hasn't shown much since. Ruzeiz has an absence to overcome but could figure if fully wound-up.
