    Verdict

    A longer trip in heavy going may have been responsible for Birch Vale running below par at Ayr last time but she'd won at Hexham before that and the remaining trio all arrive on the back of wins. Darlyn is upped a couple of grades off a 9lb higher mark after scoring at Uttoxeter and Canny Style is also raised in class though won with a bit to spare at Sedgefield. Maiden hurdle winner KIMBERLEY POINT defied a penalty to score over track and trip in novice company last month and Alan King's mare gets the vote to show further progress now handicapping.
