Verdict

One or two of the usual suspects line up for this and Yakimov is our selection with Little Jimbob and Dushstorm the most obvious dangers on the book. Yakimov has plenty to like at this grade and as a winner of his last three races on this surface, it would be disappointing to see him get beat by any of this opposition. Little Jimbob makes a seasonal reappearance under flat rules. As a front runner, there is a chance he might like it around Southwell. Dushstorm has been in fair nick of late. A winner of two claimers at Kempton, he is unproven here. Rambling Socks has a lot to do on official figures although is a recent winner in plating grade. Apres Ski drops in grade having showed little on a return from absence. Ugenius is a course winner but its hard to see him taking a hand against this level of opposition. Yakimov looks to have everything to suit and looks difficult to oppose in the opener.
