Verdict
GOTTANY O'S had three previous winners behind when winning easily at Newbury earlier this month. That form is head and shoulders above anything achieved by today's rivals and Donald McCain's four-year-old can defy a penalty, though will be a short price to do so. Guess Again looks next best as his latest fourth at Huntingdon wasn't a bad effort but there's no guarantee that Overpriced will reproduce the form of her second in a handicap over C&D 10 days ago.
