        Verdict

        Yenaled is on a roll and is taken to land a hat-trick at the expense of Ivy League Star, Late opposition and Flotta. Noel Wilson's seven-year-old was a grand servant to previous connections, and having been claimed out of Kevin Ryan's yard, wasted no time in revisiting the winner's enclosure when successful at Catterick. Donna Caldwell, who looked after him at Ryan's stable, kept the ride last time and duly did the business, so with her in the plate again, he must have high hopes of lasting out the longer trip here. Ivy League Star was a beaten favourite at Redcar when only fifth but was slightly hampered. Nevertheless, he has to improve to figure. Flotta has topweight to overcome, but with the stable having been in good form it would be dangerous to rule him out. Late Opposition has been up against animals such as Sendintank so will appreciate this company and is another to consider, but we shall stick with Yenaled.
