BERMONDSEY looked an improved horse when making a winning reappearance at Sandown under Ryan Moore. The latter keeps the winning partnership intact and there looks plenty more to come from Luca Cumani’s Ebor entry despite a hike in the weights. Yorkidding is preferred to stablemate Zand and was well ahead of Pinzolo when scoring York. He drops back down a grade along with Plutocracy, beaten only a length at Newmarket back in May. Masterpaver went close over 1m6f here a fortnight ago and is preferred to Karraar of the remainder.
