      Verdict

      Franz Kafka has the edge on these terms and steps back up to a mile having failed to land the odds over 7f at Wetherby. This faster ground will suit the Gosden colt but CURRENT OPTION should make a race of it. He’s been placed in all three starts so far with a close-up third at Newbury in October his best effort but he’ll have come on for last month’s third at Epsom when eight lengths clear of the rest and gets the vote. The remainder have little to recommend them with Potters Question failing to build on an earlier fourth at Lingfield and Cool Possibility and River Dawn both well beaten last time.
