Verdict
This could take some sorting out and winning with it being well contested for the grade and a few of these may well have a little more to offer. YES YOU is the suggestion from a yard in good fettle at the moment and back over 6f with Jack Blane and Haworth looking to be the main dangers. The former of that duo hasn't had the run of the race of late while the latter still looks as though he could take another step forward after his last win. Metisian is another who has run with credit of late and it won't be a surprise if he makes a bold bid here with Melrose Girl another to throw in the mix.
