Verdict

After a couple of commendable runs in handicaps, YORGONNAHEARMEROAR reverts to novice company. He has a penalty to carry but his overall recent form looks superior to that of the mare Postbridge, who may not appreciate the quicker surface. Project Mars was third in a bumper here in February but is tackling hurdles for the first time as is Celestial Dancer, a very poor maiden on the Flat when best on the all-weather.
