Having found only a subsequent Grade 3 winner too strong on his previous start over hurdles, DARK SPARK took strides forward himself when readily landing a KIlbeggan maiden over this trip in August and he could well be worth chancing in this stronger race with the prospect of more to come. Similar comments apply to Top Bandit who is next best, ahead of Purple Mountain and Sit Down Lucy.
