GOTHIC finished ahead of Saoi when beaten less than a length at Windsor in a higher grade contest last time. He may edge a competitive handicap stepping up in trip. All Talk N No Do is upped in class after winning over today's distance at Doncaster but may not have finished improving yet and the same comment applies to Steve Rogers. The latter returned to winning ways at Sandown and has been raised a further 5lb while an 8lb rise ended the winning run of Antiquarium over two miles here three weeks ago and Barwick looks high enough in the weights now.
