In depth

Verdict

Placed in all four starts to date, El Che will be winning before long and has the beating of Tavener on latest running. But the latter failed to get a clear run last time and should finish closer in this. TWIN TURBO went close at Lingfield on his first start since August and should be sharper for the outing. Robert Cowell's charge gets the nod to finally come good with both Takahiro and Olympic Charm having shown only modest form so far.
