Verdict

Yarqus, Plum Pudding and Kay Gee Be look the trio for consideration and we are with the first named. Ryan Moore would have had the choice of a few of these and his presence of the Clive Brittain charge is certainly appealing. First time headgear appeared to work last time out and if the trick can be reproduced over this longer trip, he should go well. Plum Pudding has disappointed on the turf. He finished ahead of our selection when the pair found Re Barolo too good at Wolverhampton so he cannot be discounted here. Kay Gee Be beat a useful sort in Armana at this track last October. If fit first time out, he is a player. Ninth House has been a credit to connections during the winter but this is a hotter contest than the claimers he has picked up. Electric Warrior looks to have plenty of weight in relation to consistency. The breeding of Farley Star seems to suggest that a mile isn't out of the question. Overturn was tried in Group company as a juvenile and connections must think something of him to wait over 18 months for him to get over whatever problems he had had. Russki has tended to need the run in the past so is watched in the market today. A good race and Yarqus is the selection.
