Going - Good to Soft (Soft in places).

Formscan  - This represents a drop in grade for JACK DARCY and, even though the gelded son of Gleneagles has to shoulder top-weight here, he looks the one to beat. The four-year-old is entitled to come on for his latest outing at Goodwood in May and must enter calculations if reproducing his second-placed effort in Listed company at Deauville last August. Al Nafir was well beaten on his seasonal debut at the Royal meeting but could bounce back, while the recent all-weather winner Saratoga Gold adds further spice now rated 8lb higher for that success.
