Verdict
Dark Charm has shown more than enough ability in two previous starts to suggest that he should have little difficulty opening his account in a poor race. A repeat of his close second behind Golden Spectrum at Salisbury last month should suffice at the chief expense of Siouxsie Sioux. The latter is highly regarded and will be sharper for her Goodwood return following an injury while newcomer Shining White, a daughter of Zafonic out of a useful winning sprinter, is worth noting in the market.
