Verdict

The three last-time-out winners look the ones to focus on, with DARKENED EDGE marginally preferred with her bid to follow up. After a confidence boosting classified stakes win at Chepstow, this previous C&D winner is back in a handicap off competitive rating and has a good chance of containing Little Miss Magic and Secret Handsheikh. It's also worth considering Symbol of Hope, who is a seven-time course winner with a reasonable chance on these terms.

Top Tip: Darkened Edge (2)
Watch out for: Little Miss Magic (3)

Little Miss Magic returned to winning ways in a classified event at Lingfield last time but her mark has increased a fair bit for this return to handicaps and it's DARKENED EDGE who is favoured. She's also coming off a classified win but is on a fair mark for this return to handicaps and has conditions to suit. Symbol Of Hope is best of the rest but needs more than of late.
