Verdict

Yamanmickmccann can land the opener at the expense of Bertbrand and Sempre Libera. The selection caught the eye when second of ten at Lingfield behind Blakeshall Diamond last time out. That was a much improved effort and a repeat of that performance can see him break his maiden tag this time around. Bertbrand again improved for the experience when fourth on his second start here over six furlongs. He ran as though this step up in trip will suit so any market moves should be noted. Sempre Libera who has his debut run could be interesting coming from a big yard. They generally know their job first time of asking so again he is to noted in the betting. But for the winner we return to Yamanmickmccann.
