Verdict

OPTICIAN hasn't looked back since joining Shaun Lycett and a 3 lb rise for his most recent C&D success doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a four-timer. Hill Station didn't enjoy the clearest of runs when fifth at Lingfield last time and is rated next best, with Restorer, City Escape and Optik all in the mix too.
