Cospicua hasn't proved very consistent thus far and is unraced on turf, but she deserves respect as the only previous winner in the field. However, despite a 4lb rise DARKEST RED is the one to beat having gone close in his last two starts, only missing out by a short head last time. The handicap newcomers Salamis Bay, Picaro and especially Home Secretary are all worth closely monitoring in the market.[David Bellingham]
