In depth
Verdict
There are plenty of unexposed runners here so it is with a plenty of caution that we select Missed Turn, Yeldham Lady and Ifit are two obvious dangers. James Eustace's filly has put in two good efforts course and distance recently. The most recent was in the middle of last month when just run out of the places in a competitive handicap. Back in selling company today she must hold strong claims. Yeldham Lady has been running consistently in this grade and put in another sound performance when second to Parsley's Return over course and distance, she should be capable of reaching the frame. Meanwhile Mick Channon's Ifit is taking a step down in class and should also be in the firing line. Briar Ghyll and Paper Doll are from two yards in hot form so should be watched closely in the market, but without the benefit of any betting we will side with Missed Turn
