In depth
Verdict
DARLYN didn’t do a lot wrong on her reappearance at Stratford. She will have needed that run and was progressive in the spring so there is no reason why she cant get back to winning ways as the longer trip should suit and her young rider claims 10lb. Berboru makes her handicap debut after three runs in maidens but she has her fair share of weight. Bannixtown Glory has been consistent since switching to hurdles so enter calculations and Lostnfound can’t be ignored, though is having a first run for a new yard.
