Racing Post verdict
Third-partyDark Thirty arrives off a runner-up effort at this mark and handles 6f on good ground — our figures rate him clear at the head of the field; he likes to front-run but has yet to land from a mark this high and his trainer is in a quiet run of form. Rosenpur's last three wins have all come at this venue and he is the strongest rival on course form, while Ruby's Angel — a past course-and-distance winner — and Stormy Impact also hold solid claims. Dark Thirty is our selection.
