Verdict
Box To Box debuts for a new yard having been gelded while the less exposed Yarralumla makes her handicap debut on her return to action and steps up in trip along with Postmark, Brayden Star and Le Forban. The latter dead-heated for first at Lingfield in March but was engaged in the 4.55 at Goodwood yesterday while CABRAKAN (NAP) also has a recent run under his belt. The latter finished a creditable third over today’s trip at Beverley considering he lost plenty of ground with a slow start and the Hannon colt is taken to open his account in this.
