BOTHAM's record for Paul Norton is very good and is taken to see off Revue Princess and Lake Chini. Jim Goldie's gelding was an eye-catching second here in June before filling the second spot again here last time out. He tends to get behind and storm home and the feeling is that this big field will suit. Revue Princess is another who went close last time and this mare is expected to run well despite top-weight, Lake Chini should appreciate the return to six furlongs and the booking of Philip Makin catches the eye, whilst Two Turtle Doves should feature more prominently today now returned to six furlongs. Future Gem is well-handicapped, Santiago Atitlan bounced back to form last time, whilst Almaty Express is a course and distance winner but didn't fare too well at Brighton on Tuesday. Not a strong end to the card and perhaps a good opportunity for Botham to record his first win since October 2009.
