Verdict

ANOTHER BATT never threatened in the Lincoln on his reappearance but won over today’s shorter trip at Doncaster in October and is only 3lb higher. Gobi Sunset represents last year’s winning yard and has been thereabouts on the all-weather recently while Gioia Cieca won over track and trip last summer and is preferred to stablemate Gometra Ginty. Gweedore won four times last season and is not out of this while Zip has scored in soft going here and is back on the same mark.
