Not a red hot maiden and the stronger contenders have the worst of the draw, making this a little tricky, but we will side with YURITINI to get the better of Ramamara and the top three on the racecard. Eve Johnson Houghton's juvenile has been in cracking form over longer trips, winning on fast ground over 6f at both York and Bath and going very well over 7f in-between those successes when tried at Doncaster. An extra 6lbs here will clearly make this a tough test, but she is not too badly drawn and looks to have enough speed to drop back in distance and nick this. Ramamara has also twice won over 6f and was well behind the selection at Doncaster, but we won't write her off on that effort alone, as she does have a solid profile otherwise. Iver Bridge Lad shoulders top weight and has to be taken seriously after a Listed win over this trip at Sandown plus an excellent effort in Group 3 company last time. Even so, if will be a tremendous effort to overcome a car park draw. A better proposition on the day may be Fratellini, who was runner-up in a Listed contest last time and has a better pitch in stall five. Secret Millionaire and Falasteen both have plenty of speed, but the latter has the worst draw of all, and Yuritini is the one for us.
