        Verdict

        OFF ART has been keeping better company since winning the Leger Legends race at Doncaster in September. There’s no reason to believe he won’t handle the switch to Tapeta and he gets a very handy 7lb from Malaspina, having her first start in this country. Gun Case has been fine form over 7f here but the extra furlong has proved his undoing in the past. Thello stays further, however, and the likely strong pace will play to his strengths. Nottingham winner Teomaria is also worthy of consideration while Clock Chimes is the least exposed and has form on the track.
