      Verdict

      Densetsu had the measure of Berwick Law when scoring at Wolverhampton and the runner-up from that race went on to beat Strike Alliance at Kempton. The latter steps up in distance along with EMPEROR ZEN but John Butler’s charge was beaten only a neck over track and trip earlier and a repeat effort could make him the one to beat. Desfondado makes his handicap debut on his first start since September having switched trainers.
