Verdict

DARKENED EDGE has been a consistent performer in sprint handicaps and first-time cheekpieces could unlock further improvement for this C&D winner. Connie's Rose is a true Chepstow specialist with six course victories and ran respectably when third at Bath recently. Over Spiced has shown reliable form with four consecutive placed efforts, including a creditable third over this C&D six days ago.
