DARNATION is improving well, having no problem with testing conditions when landing the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood last time, and she can continue her progress with the step up in trip to suit. Karl Burke's filly is taken to see off the challenge of Romanova, who won in good style at the second attempt, with See The Fire completing the shortlist.
