    Verdict

    GOTTANY O'S has improved in all three runs on the all-weather this year culminating in a defeat of Indochina over 1m4f at Kempton last month. He looks the one to beat here with the promise of more to come. Mica Mika progressed nicely last year, winning three times over 7f including once at this track, but this is a big step up in distance on his return to action while Paco Belle is another trying a longer trip but she at least has a victory over 1m2f on the Polytrack to her credit. Big Zaf showed nothing on his debut and The Snorer is probably best watched on his introduction.
