Verdict

Caught In The Dark comes here in good form and is taken to follow up her recent win at Epsom, with Roses Of Spring the main danger. The latter has been a little disappointing of late, but has some decent form at this course, having won here once and been placed twice on three attempts this season. She holds Lord Kintyre on two of those runs, while Zargus looks to face a stiff task at the weights and Dancing Mystery has not won a race in his last 31 attempts. However, we just prefer to side with the only three-year-old in the race, namely John Dunlop's filly, Caught In The Dark. A winner at Warwick as a juvenile, she has taken her time to reach top form this year, but after a couple of promising efforts she made every yard of the running to score in good style at Epsom last time. Well suited by the conditions of this race, she is likely to force the issue once again and is fancied to notch a quick double here.
