A chance is taken on HEART OF DARKNESS, who wasn't seen to best effect here last time and she would have a serious chance if able to reproduce the form of January's C&D second off a 1 lb higher mark. Desert of The Sea should give another good account and is second choice ahead of Imperial Fighter, while Distillate is also shortlisted.
