Verdict
DARKENED had been running reasonably well on the Flat before battling to victory at Kilbeggan in a similar low-grade handicap. He's up 6lb but can go in again. Fassbender started favourite for the latter event on the back of two narrow defeats but couldn't make any impression while Heliers Bay was placed in a Tipperary chase last time. Buto, from a stable in top form, makes his handicap debut after a better showing at Bellewstown but Mullins Cross was a disappointing favourite at Kilbeggan and has since been well beaten on the Flat. Kitty Galore led for a long way when tackling 2m2f here a couple of weeks ago and may give the selection most to do.
