      Verdict

      A cracking contest and EXPRESSIONIST is taken to get back on the winning track. He was a cosy scorer at Ascot on debut before posting mid-division finishes in Group 2 and Listed company. Not seen since last summer when gelded, hopefully all is well now and this looks a good starting point for the new campaign. Will To Win has landed his last three starts at different all-weather venues and has impressed on each occasion. He's more on his plate here but should remain competitive. Never Before only landed a maiden last time at Dundalk but commands great respect as a Joseph O'Brien raider, whilst Dazzling Des and Electric Ladyland cannot be discounted.
