Verdict
Another poor race her but something has to win and the principals look to be Yankeedoodledandy, Wilom and Titan Lass and the confident vote goes to Yankeedoodledandy. The gelding from the Patrick Haslam yard won in impressive style last time when defeating Bretton in good style and despite the fact he is dropping in distance which will not be in his favour he is taken to score. Wilom rates the main danger as he was a good second behind French Horn in a seller last time, however he will need to improve on that to win this. Titan Lass is also worthy of respect as he was a fair fourth behind Rock Concert last time and is sure to have come on for the run so she has definite place claims. Neutral Night was a fair third behind Italian Mist last time and is another that could go well but in a wide open affair we will side with Yankeedoodledandy.
