Verdict
Yokkell had been running well before dropping back to 1m1f at Tipperary last week and gaining a comfortable victory for which she's been raised 8lb. Brewel Hill had been racing over shorter before landing a handicap over an extended 1m1f at Gowran but a 9lb rise makes this much tougher. Mads Black Eights was a long way behind in that latter event then gained a surprise victory at Leopardstown but RICCARDI MEDICI could be the one to beat. He's only had five races and followed a promising run at Leopardstown with an even better performance back there next time and has the scope to do better.
