Verdict
Outclassed on her latest run, Just Say Yes will appreciate the return to this grade and looks the one to beat. Mark Johnston relies on Falcon On The Hill, a half-brother to middle-distance winner Inca Star. This February foal would not have to be anything special to make a winning debut and if the market speaks in his favour, the hint should be taken. Coracle King may be flattered by his run at Ripon, but he still looks good enough to reach a place.
