FormscanBy John O'Riordan - A race that often goes to a lightly raced improving three-year-old sees the hat-trick seeking DARIUS DARK hold leading claims. Unbeaten in both starts over this distance, the Johnny Murtagh-trained Dark Angel gelding remains capable of better on what is only his sixth career start. A game winner at Leopardstown last time, the application of first-time cheekpieces could eke out further improvement. Beaten just a length when third in that same contest, Keepsgettingbetter shouldn't be far away. A dual winner at Dundalk, the Donnacha O'Brien-trained filly showed that she handled the turf just as effectively on that occasion. Eastern Peace and Faro Island also catch the eye with leading apprentices booked.
