Verdict

BOTANICAL was as easy a handicap winner as it gets when last seen at Hamilton in October and, very much the type to make a better 4-y-o, he makes plenty of appeal on reappearance for a top yard. Majestic was fourth in this a year ago and is admirably consistent, with Barley one to consider at longer odds at the foot of the weights.
