Charles Darnay

8st 6lb

T: James Owen

Reserve; won a Kempton maiden (1m4f, AW) in March on third start; 16-1 when kicked in the stalls and withdrawn before his intended handicap/turf debut against Arc Ole Ole at York in May, but justified 11-10 favouritism with a relentless late challenge in five-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) 17 days ago; up 7lb and into a much better race, but capable of better.

T: James Owen

Built on earlier promise upped in trip when off the mark in a Kempton maiden (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; off three months and this easier track may not be ideal, but the three immediately behind him at Kempton have all won since; respected on handicap debut.

J: Harry Davies

T: James Owen

Made his debut in January and all three starts have been on AW; upped from 1m to 1m4f when 11-10 favourite for nine-runner maiden at Kempton ten weeks ago on latest start, responding well to sustained pressure to get up in the final strides; while this handicap/turf debut demands more, he should retain potential for 1m4f+.

T: James Owen

Half-brother to three winners including Land Of Oz (1m6f-2m including AW; RPR 99); showed clear promise in his two runs this year, most recently when third of 12 at Southwell (1m) last month; has leading claims on that form and he's open to progress on this big step up in trip.
