Verdict
GET ON THE YAGER will be another short-priced favourite having got back to winning ways at Kempton last month. It was good ground when he beat Willoughby Court over course and distance in November but the runner-up later won a Grade 2 at Warwick when Dan Skelton’s novice was let down by his jumping. Comely tries 2m4f for the first time but she didn’t look anything special when third at Fakenham. Ballynorth Benny ran a little better at Doncaster last month but still appears to have plenty to find.
