Several are looking to continue winning ways but Georgian Manor will find this tougher after picking up a maiden race at Beverley and Fake News faces better opposition having won at Wolverhampton in March. Cavatina is preferred to both after scoring at Leicester recently but YAFTA (NAP) looks the most progressive. The Hannon colt was winning for the third time when successful over 6f on the Rowley course here last time with a late surge suggesting a return to 7f will suit so he gets the nod. Rufus King has been keeping better company since winning over today’s trip in October and is partnered by Ryan Moore today.
