Verdict

Mark Johnston has a fine record at this meeting and DARK VISION was impressive when travelling through his latest win at York in eye-catching fashion; with more progress likely up in trip, he rates as the one to beat. Confiding was impressive on debut and the form of that contest looks rock solid. Drogon may be able to get an easy time of it on the front end and there was plenty to like about his latest effort at Haydock.
  1. Dark Vision
