Race preview
The classy BOTANICAL could give weight and a beating to these rivals. He possibly wasn't in love with the undulations at Epsom when a beaten favourite last time and should be much more at home at a track where he finished third in Listed company only three starts ago. Now 1lb lower than when runner-up in last year's John Smith's Cup, he looks to have an outstanding chance. Forecast soft ground should suit Square D'alboni, a Listed winner who enters handicap company for the first time. From further down the weights, Divine Knight, Sportingsilvermine and Regalian are others to note.
