Verdict

Yellow Card could be another Dettori winner, with Patavium Prince and Guilded Warrior the main dangers. Neville Callaghan's colt hit winning form in a maiden earlier this month, showing real determination to beat Prince Of Delphi. His previous handicap form was rock solid and he looks the pick of the weights this afternoon. Patavium Prince took a Salisbury handicap last month before finding the seven furlongs stretching his stamina next time out at Lingfield. Back over six and on ground he likes a big run can be expected. Guilded Warrior has a bit to find with Patavium Prince on salisbury running and is trying fast ground for the first time. Nevertheless he looks the pick of the others. So in a non too competitive event we return to Yellow Card for our selection.
