Verdict
Marquis Of York had the benefit of experience when finishing just ahead of WAKEY WAKEY at Thirsk. The latter took a step forward over 7f at that track subsequently and has the pick of the draw today. Approachability is a full brother to two winners and a half-brother to several others, including the useful Future Generation, so has to be of interest given connections while Easy With Aces and Graffiti are likely improvers.
