Verdict
YURITUNI posted the best recent run of this quartet when third at Nottingham a fortnight ago. Eve Johnson Houghton's filly was beaten less than a length on that occasion and a repeat effort should bring about a return to winning ways. Suzy Alexander is still a maiden though is on a fair mark now judged on her latest second at Ffos Las, but Cloth Ears and Basle are both struggling for form at present and hard to fancy as a consequence.
