Verdict

DARK LIEUTENANT has been shaping up well in handicaps and the step up to 3m could be the catalyst for a breakthrough success. Juke Box Rock has to be feared if returning in the same form that saw him win on chasing debut this time last year, with Annie Button and Sneddy Eddie best of the rest in an ultra-competitive event.
