      Verdict

      A Little Bit Yarie, arguably beaten by the draw on his debut at Newcastle, can get off the mark here at the expense of Flash Ram, with Less Of A Mystery the pick of the newcomers. Karl Burke has produced some good two-year-olds already this season, and A Little Bit Yarie went in a few notebooks when third to Hillside Girl on his debut at Newcastle. He raced on the opposite side of the course to the first two home that day, and with the draw playing no significance in this small field he gets a confident vote. Flash Ram has raced well on both outings so far, the most recent when third to Obe Bold at Redcar, and Tim Easterby's colt has to be respected, although he has yet to encounter anything other than fast ground. Mark Johnston has a decent record with his juveniles at this course, and he introduces Less Of A Mystery here. While it is fair to say that the stable's two-year-olds have generally needed a run this season, the market is likely to provide the best guide as to this one's chances.
