Verdict

PICPOUL bounced back to capitalise on a reduced mark over C&D a week ago and she's still on a good mark, so she gets the nod over fellow last-time-out winner Hasten Slowly. Darkened will be of serious interest if the market speaks in his favour on debut for a new stable.

  1. PICPOUL (IRE)

  3. DARKENED (IRE)
