Verdict

Marco Botti won last year's renewal and GOTHIC EMPIRE can follow suit. The latter made a promising start when a close-up fourth at Doncaster last month and can take care of these with normal progress. Who Dares Wins showed some improvement when fourth at York in September but Virile has gone backwards since his debut at Lingfield. The remainder with experience are hard to fancy so the newcomer Piston may well get involved as he is half-brother to four winners.
