Verdict

It's hard to see past EPICTETUS, who rapidly developed into a smart performer at 2 and can enhance the Gosden stable's fine record in this race. Intricacy looked good when readily accounting for some reasonable opposition at Wolverhampton in December and could be the one to give him most to think about.
