FormscanBy Alan Magee - DAZZLING DARREN has been a great servant to the Gavin Cromwell yard and gained the latest of six wins on the Flat at the Galway Festival meeting this year. The Dragon Pulse gelding successfully reverted to hurdles at Down Royal last month and despite a 7lb hike remains on a reasonable mark. Massons Castle has been put up the same amount by the handicapper for scoring in good style here last time, while Amlad also comes here off the back of a victory having kept on well close home within the last fortnight at Wexford. Jack Kennedy makes a welcome return aboard Saeer, who hasn’t lived up to his pedigree but looks capable of winning over hurdles off this mark.
