Verdict

Verdict

DARBY O'GILL (3) ran a solid race when finishing second over the track and trip in late February and is open to improvement, making him the one to beat. IVAN DU BERRY (1) could pose the biggest threat after an impressive debut success by over nine lengths at Toulouse in mid-February. NORMANDY MAN (2) has solid each-way claims following a win at Argentan 15 days ago. EMPYREAN (12) looks best of the rest.

Top Tip: Darby O'gill (3)
Watch out for: Normandy Man (2)
