Verdict

Yojimbo was second in a higher grade race at Leicester off a higher mark last week and Charles Bishop again takes off 3lb. He must be thereabouts as he's well treated on that evidence. The maiden Mr Fitzroy is lightly raced and Oisin Murphy is good value for his 7lb claim while Tawtheeq may also have more to offer. Prime Exhibit has been knocking on the door while The Mongoose plotted a lone course at Ffos Las last time and may also figure. But FRASERBURGH could be worth another chance back on Turf as he'd won a shade cosily at Carlisle before failing to quicken on the Polytrack last time.
