      Verdict

      Manxman had Tarbat Ness behind at Nottingham last month and Yasmin From York was only third when the Crisfords’ three-year-old completed his hat-trick at Carlisle last week. The latter has a penalty to carry here but has come on in leaps and bounds since tackling longer trips. Dereham followed up a win at Newmarket with a second over 1m6f at Yarmouth but was only ninth in this last year. DRAGONBALL PRINCE was beaten a length by Tarbat Ness at Ffos Las but is 3lb better off. He should have more to offer in staying races and may be the value.
