    Verdict

    DARK LOVER faced a tough task up against Balder Succes in a Grade Two event at Kempton last time. But Jamie Snowden's charge won nicely at Cheltenham on his chasing bow in October and has plenty in hand on both of today's rivals. Placed over fences, Woodbank was still in contention when falling at Doncaster last time and should have the measure of Next Exit barring any accidents.
