In depth

Verdict

JUSTANOTHERBOTTLE will be sharper for last month’s comeback run and can confirm October’s running at Doncaster with the returning Count D'Orsay. The latter had earlier beaten stablemate Copper Knight and Jabbarockie at Haydock before finding Came From The Dark too good at the same track. Tarboosh has undergone wind surgery since scoring at Doncaster in September and makes most appeal of his yard’s four runners while Zarzyni drops down in trip on only his second start for David Barron. Mokaatil is upped in class while 2018 winner Caspian Prince has been in recent action at Meydan and the veteran is back on a winning mark.
