Verdict

DARK SHADOW is bidding for a hat-trick here and he can defy his 4lb rise to complete it. The sprinter is open to further improvement and is now going in the right direction after being gelded at the back of last year. Iconic Knight is the leading threat as he was unfortunate not to win last time after finding trouble inside the closing 2f, while Little Blue Boy should be in the mix here again where he often runs well.
  1. Dark Shadow
  2. Iconic Knight
  3. Little Boy Blue
