Verdict

DARVEL returned from 6 months off at the top of his game when scoring in decisive fashion at Bath 4 weeks ago and, although his record last season suggests he may not arrive in the same mood, Patrick Chamings' 6-y-o gets the nod ahead of Johnjay, who made a satisfactory return to action when third in a different race on that same card. Gavi di Gavi and Landlordtothestars can fight out third.
