        Verdict

        Siskany landed a Listed race over the course and distance a year ago, with stablemate Kemari well beaten, and also won at that level at Newmarket in September. He's rated a pound higher than ARDAKAN but has to concede Marco Botti's globe-trotter 5lb and the latter has a race-fitness advantage having run very well behind Global Heat in Listed company last month. He can gain revenge on the winner who had had a previous run as had runner-up Away He Goes.
