        Verdict

        Imperial Red failed to show any progress when well beaten at Wolverhampton last week but Nice Shot finished closer at Newcastle last time and steps up in distance. COURT HOUSE has been given a short break since making a modest debut over today’s trip at Kempton in September but a subsequent winner has come out of the race and John Gosden’s colt may prove good enough with normal progress. Marco Botti’s yard has been notching-up the winners in the last few days and the newcomers Suprematism and Artieshow are worth a second glance in the betting.
