Verdict

Though DARVEL isn't the most reliable, he is appealing on the back of a solid effort at Bath where he found only an upwardly mobile rival too strong. The 5-y-o is taken to go one better here, perhaps at the chief expense of the consistent Roundabout Silver, who also hit the crossbar on that same card as the selection at Bath 3 weeks ago. Kynsa and Astronomica both arrive in good heart, too, while Dubai Dreamer is also accorded respect.
