Verdict
Yomalo could still be a step ahead of the handicapper and can stave off the challenge of Tychy and Sharoura in this fillies' event. Yomalo has hit a rich vein if form lately, gaining back-to-back successes at Beverley and Lingfield. the latter victory was earned in ready fashion and now that she has got the winning habit her current mark does not look harsh. Rae Guest's filly will get the strong ride required from Kevin Darley and another big run is on the cards. Tychy has topweight but is another in good form, having battled her way to victory at Epsom under Kieren Fallon. Her apprentice jockey takes five pounds off her back to make things easier. Sharoura is very well in on her best form of a few years ago, and has been a most consistent sort this season. She looks a banker for the frame, but we are happy to side with Yomalo to complete the hat-trick.
