      Verdict

      A potentially-informative contest can go to DENILIQUIN, an expensive yearling who has been gelded and switched to Paul Nicholls since landing the odds at Vichy in September. Torpillo has an almost identical profile and rates a danger while Belargus has won twice over middle-distances on the Flat in France this year. Il Re Di Nessuno has placed in Listed company in Italy while Caswell Bay made late headway when third at Ludlow last month and should appreciate this stiffer test.
