Verdict
DARCY’S ROCK has been raised 7lb for winning at Chepstow but scored with plenty in hand and today’s opposition look no great shakes. Becoming finished a long way behind the selection but Alsamyah placed at Kempton earlier when Vienna Poppy posted an improved effort in fourth. Brazen Diamond and Rita's Wish are the least exposed and open to improvement making their handicap debuts.
