      Verdict

      DAZZLING DARREN followed success in a classified race with a victory over today’s trip at Lingfield back in handicap company last time. The Irish raider may be capable of better still over the distance and is preferred to compatriot Adamaris, narrowly beaten over a shorter trip when sent off favourite here last month. Several step up in distance including Chelmsford third Cottonopolis while Beggarman finished in front of Mr Shady when a close-up fifth over 1m2f at Lingfield and Striking Approach makes his handicap debut having recently switched yards.
