Verdict
Franco Grasso won back on the Turf at Yarmouth while Yorkindness went close over 2m at Ripon. Divine Comedy ended last year with a victory over 1m6f but finished behind runner-up DAS KAPITAL over track and trip on his reappearance. The latter has been beaten less than a length here in both starts so far this year and makes most appeal. Clay and Carlos Felix may prove best of the rest.
