      Verdict

      Boy In The Bar won for the first time since 2019 at Yarmouth and is still on a decent mark. Mi Capricho never seems to run a bad race and has only gone up 2lb for his latest win at Hamilton but Ayr winner Havana Go could be found wanting in this higher grade. My Thought won over this trip at Redcar two runs ago but it’s about time the three-year-old EMPIRESTATEOFMIND was getting his head in front and he gets the nod.
