EPITHET has the best form of those with experience having finished in the money over track and trip on his introduction. He should have the beating of Yorkshire Dales and Big McIntosh on that evidence and looks a safer bet than the newcomers. The latter group includes the half-brother to three winners, British Art, while Indelible Ink is related to a Group 3 winner. Maftoon and Duke Of North are other debutants to note in the betting.
