Verdict

Shouranour ran well at Catterick last time but is on a tough mark while Sakhee's Return and Related seem to be out of sorts and Lexington Times probably wants it softer underfoot. The consistent Ballymore Castle has been knocking on the door of late but is on a long losing run, so preference is for GOTHIC EMPIRE, who experienced some traffic problems when last seen at Yarmouth in May and can probably be forgiven that performance. The big field and strong pace here should suit him and he can take this ahead of course and distance winner Bertiewhittle, who is coming to hand and should be involved in the finish. Newcastle maiden winner Sun Lover is also of interest on his handicap debut.
