In depth
Verdict
Difficult to be confident about any of these, but the token vote goes to YAKAMA. He won over 7f here last month and has finished a lot closer to the winner than his form figures would suggest in a couple of outings since. Hierarch has just the single victory in 21 starts, though he's been in better form of late, but Rock Anthem doesn't appear to be any closer to winning despite tumbling down the weights. Gazboolou has claims if forgiven a below par effort here last Sunday, but the remainder are hard to fancy.
