A runner-up over a mile on three occasions last year, Bint Australia should stay this extra distance on her reappearance having switched to James Fanshawe’s yard. But YANKEE STADIUM may prove too good today having found only Byford, rated 87, too good at Wolverhampton - he gets the vote to go one better. Toora Loora has a shout on these terms but finished behind winning hurdler Raymond on the Flat at Lingfield last time while Raiff won a jumpers' bumper at the latter track in November. Makeen failed to show any improvement at Chelmsford but it’s too soon to write him off.
