Verdict

A chance is taken on HEART OF DARKNESS, who wasn't seen to best effect here last time and she would have a serious chance if able to reproduce the form of January's C&D second off a 1 lb higher mark. Desert of The Sea should give another good account and is second choice ahead of Imperial Fighter, while Distillate is also shortlisted.

Horse Racing Basic Terms

Rabbit

Also known as a pacemaker; this is a horse with no expected chance of winning but is used to prompt a quick pace on the front end of the race to the benefit of a stablemate who is a closer.

Tack

The equipment the horse wears, including saddle and bridle. A jockey typically has their own racing saddle, placed on each horse they ride just before the race.

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.
