Verdict
If taking up this engagement, DAARIS has strong claims and can make it two wins from his last three starts. The race didn't pan out for Arch Legend last time, and he's not discounted on his first try at two miles, while Certain Style should arrive here in good heart after breaking her maiden 33 days ago.

Verdict66/1 fourth at Chelmsford City (14f) before breaking maiden tag in bizare circumstances when upped in trip here. 33 days ago, easy lead having been slow away and allowed to draw clear for 22-length win. While that form can't be taken at face value, she races off same mark today in a winnable race.
