Back down in trip, NEVER DARK produced a career best when making all at Haydock 13 days ago and he can continue his good form and land a fourth win of the year. The 6-y-o is taken to see off the challenge of Alligator Alley, who ran well when second here in August, while Wen Moon can also be thereabouts once more.
