Emmet Mullins’ Yeats Baby had a couple of runs at Fakenham at the end of last year, winning over this trip before finishing third over 2m4f. She’s had a break and has every chance of picking up the winning thread again but DONNAS DREAM may be able to take advantage of this slight drop in grade as she gives the impression she’ll stay this trip on good ground. Samtu beat a subsequent winner over fences here last month but has gone up 4lb since his last hurdles run. Chanceanotherfive led for a long way at Ayr after a good fourth over this track and trip, however, and will appreciate the better going while a case can also be made for Splash The Cash and Dizoard.
