Verdict
Khismet was beaten only a length in a claimer over track and trip in February with IL SASSICAIA just behind. But the latter re-opposes on much better terms in this and Marco Botti's charge can come out best this time. The remainder have plenty to find at the weights as they all step up in distance with Nidnod preferred to Tessellate and Wicked Woo if lasting home.
