In depth
Verdict
In what looks a virtual match, DROVERS LANE (NAP) can complete his hat-trick at the chief expense of Yensir, who has already rattled-up a three-timer. Rebecca Curtis’ six-year-old has won his last two with any amount in hand and this progressive type is getting 6lb from his market rivals. The Boola Bee will likely do better when faced with fences.
