Verdict
Kempton winner Yasir was tailed off on his seasonal debut and the jury is out on him at present while Braveheart Move's inconsistency makes him a risky proposition. Refractor has proved best on Polytrack so far and is upped a grade after scoring at Kempton last time and preference goes to VEILED APPLAUSE. He has a penalty for last week's victory at Ripon but won with a bit in hand and gets the vote to edge out Battery Power and Arizona John in an open contest.
