In depth
Verdict
CITY OF YORK unseated at the start at Wolverhampton on his belated seasonal debut. He should be less fresh today and gets the vote on last year’s placed efforts. Sonnet Star failed to show any progress at Nottingham last time though still finished well ahead of Lesleyanne while Gino's Girl made little impression at Yarmouth on her debut and Between The Covers hasn’t raced since last autumn.
