Verdict

DARKEST DAY returned to form with his reappearance under his belt when beaten only by a much less-exposed rival over C&D last month and looks to have very solid claims of going one better. Max of Stars is a likeable front runner who seems likely to give her running once more, with Well Planted and Annie Agnew others to take seriously.
