Not much in the way of pace here, and this won't be run at a breakneck pace. In an open event, DARK DEFENDER should be prominent from the outset and gave notice his turn wasn't faraway with a solid effort last time out. He's taken to get the better of top weight Eccleston, dropping in grade here and will surely get back on the scoresheet sooner rather than later. Dragon King is another that looks to be on the way back to some better form and can't be discounted either.
